Under the project name VAIRplay, the non-profit association VAIR e.V. wants to develop a public space that will enable more community spirit. An inclusive sports park is to be created under the Kaiserlei Bridge, below the A661 Highway: The first public sports and cultural park in Offenbach! A place for more togetherness, a space for sporting activities and recreation, but also for cultural events. The aim is to connect people through sport, exercise and culture.
Sports parks are not only places for physical activities or social interaction, but also a visual attraction – the tricks performed by skaters in particular fascinate many people. VAIR e. V. asked the Urban Design teaching area at the HfG Offenbach to develop a concept for this sports and cultural park with the students and to create designs. They show how an innovatively designed public space can be created under a highway bridge.
