Designed by WERK Arkitekter and Snøhetta, Maritime Center fosters activity, engagement, and learnings for the visitors since the building has room for everyone, from the experienced diver or professional kayaker to a crab-fishing school class or a random passer-by.

The design exemplifies inclusive and creative en­gagement tactics by an interdisciplinary design team at DIALOG through extensive research and applying the City’s policy guidelines. Bringing green space to the city centre, it provides a place to gather, engage in social activities, enjoy an on-site café, and take in one’s environs from the pedestrian bridge.

Dr Veith Kilberth gives us a preview of an ­academic publication on the inclusion of wheelchair skating in skate parks, due to be published in 2024. It can also be seen as a call to municipalities to take action.
