ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS
On the west side of the building , there is an outdoor whirlpool and a water slide with a stairway tower , a symbol of swimming halls , positioned at the main road of the city .
The building aims to exceed the usual way of swimming pool solutions , typical for its shunning of views from the surroundings . On the contrary , this swimming hall opens up with the main glass façade and gives passers-by an insight into the sporting activities within . The placement of the swimming pool scene in the public space of the city thus naturally encourages to participate in sports and recreational activities inside the hall . With its openness , the object enhances a positive perception of the swimming hall ’ s area as a space intended for anyone , breaks down possible prejudices about the sports environment and motivates the locals to improve their physical condition .
