Project info

The necessity of people to have a space for making physical activity is increasing every day. Based on the personal look of the situation, there are people that would like to do some physical activities, but, there is always the limitation of time, laziness due to lack of motivation, fear, or even the idea to stay in the comfort zone. Therefore, the main idea of this study is to highlight the concern of people of the increasing levels of common diseases. Long working hours, stress, sedentary, tobacco-use and a poor diet, have grabbed people to fall on these chronic diseases which are the ones that persist for a long time, lasting 3 months or more (cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and so on).

Its all a result of the poor importance we give to our health. Therefore this project will develop an efficient and friendly network of spaces for people to make sports, in order to prevent or fight any disease, to lose weight and to have the facilities to find your “spot” to make sports. Introducing a new idea of public spaces and infrastructure making the processes more accessible and efficient in people’s everyday life.
