With the House of Culture and Movement, MVRDV aims to offer the Flintholm neighbourhood in Denmark a meeting point for people of all ages to take part in a wide range of activities.
The main building, the House of Culture and Movement – or Ku-Be (Kultur- og Bevægelseshus) – is a rectangular, glass volume containing six stacked programmatic elements. A circulation space, as well as a ‘play zone’ housing various activities, is formed between the volumes. Within the stacked elements are a theatre, a health zone, food zone, a Zen area, a study centre and exhibition hall, fitness and activity centre, a wellness centre and an area for the administration. The theatre is adaptable to different stage and audience settings. In addition, its large windows allow it to be used as an open air theatre.
The garden, designed in collaboration with SLA Landscape Architecture, follows the themes of the interior of the House of Culture and Movement with a performance area, health and activity zones, a quiet zone, connecting zones and an empty area reserved for House of Culture and Movement 2.
The project will be phased. The House of Movement, the garden and the urban curtain will be first realizations. In later stages a commercial building and a second House of Movement will be added. Solar panels, natural ventilation and underground hot and cool storage is utilized for a highly efficient, low-energy building.
