Special Report #35: Surfaces for athletics – Any type is permissible as long as it meets the physical requirements.
The designer must choose
We have also discussed this in the recent Sport&Impianti webinars. When faced with the design of a sports facility, which requires the installation of specific materials related to the athletic performance of future users, a generic specification definition (perhaps accompanied by the words ‘or equivalent’) is not enough to guarantee the result.
Beijing 2022
Beijing, or Běijīng, as the original ideogram is officially translated, the capital of China, is the fourth largest city in the world by population, with nearly 25 million inhabitants.
With the 2022 Winter Olympics, Beijing and China face a challenge that started with the objective of a repeat of the success of the summer version of 2008, but found itself facing the obstacle of the global pandemic, not yet overcome two years after its appearance.
Training and reporting
The restrictions imposed by the pandemic have opened up the need – and perhaps also the desire – to increase the opportunities for mutual involvement, through the methods that technology offers today. Thus was born a webinar program signed Sport&Impianti that, involving the readers themselves, has enjoyed growing success.
Muggiò (Monza), the Joy and Kindness Garden

The bridge between sports facilities and the urban landscape passes through street art which, developed horizontally rather than vertically on city walls, colours those outdoor basketball courts which, recalling the mythical urban spaces of New York, we call playgrounds.
