3 1 Invitation to prequalification 1.1 Invitation On behalf of the Municipality of Linköping, Lejonfastigheter is issuing an invitation to prequalification with regard to a project competition for Linköping s new aquatics centre. The competition is being conducted in cooperation with the Swedish Association of Architects. The purpose of the prequalification is to appoint five (5) applicants based on the received notifications of interest who will be offered the opportunity to participate in the competition. 1.2 Background The Municipality of Linköping has decided to build a new aquatics centre that meets the needs of the future. Today s aquatics centre, which was built in 1965, is probably the facility in the city that has the greatest diversity among visitors. The aquatics centre and what it has to offer is sought after by visitors of all ages, regardless of gender or social background. The new aquatics centre shall build on this and be further developed into an attractive location for sports, exercise, amusement and recreation. The new aquatics centre shall be built mainly for those who live and work in Linköping and shall provide the conditions to develop the sport of swimming. It shall also take into consideration and provide the conditions for meetings between people. Everyone should be able to experience the joy and well-being of exercising each according to their needs and abilities. To offer an attractive aquatics centre with a well-conceived whole, dialogues have been conducted with associations and other stakeholder groups. The aquatics centre that will be built will constitute the Municipality of Linköping s main facility for recreational swimming and swimming as a sport. The facility is estimated to have premises area of around 10,500 m 2. In addition to this, there will be technical areas and connecting areas to tie together the functions of the aquatics centre. The aquatics centre will also have outer functions that connect to the directly adjacent Tinnerbäck swimming area (summer swimming), which once the new aquatics centre is completed will become a park environment open year-round. 3

4 Picture from previously conducted location investigation The aquatics centre will be in a new city district within the old Folkungavallen area south of the Linköping city centre. The proposed design of the city district is presented in the Detailed planning programme in the inner city for Folkungavallen. The new city district will mark a stage boundary for an expanded inner city in accordance with the Inner City Development Plan the municipality has worked on for several years. The Development Plan is proposed for adoption in March The vision for the work is More and better inner city. Both of the aforementioned documents are available on the municipality s website as well as attachments to this prequalification document. The plan illustration for the programme is shown here. 1.3 Municipality s ambitions The new aquatics centre building shall express its significance through a high level of architectural quality. It shall display its public function through a welcoming and inclusive design language. Towards the park space and Tinnissjön Lake north of the building, the aquatics centre shall open up and give the visitors an opportunity to partake of the water and greenery outside. The aquatics centre will gain an important role in Linköping s inner city. The aquatics centre shall fit into its urban context and be integrated with Folkungavallen s planned district development and streets. The building s interface with the street space shall be distinct it should strengthen directions and thoroughfares, and contribute to the interconnection of the city s streets. The surrounding square and park space shall be designed with care and in harmony with the aquatics centre building s architecture. The Municipality of Linköping wants to develop the city towards a sustainable society. One of the Municipality of Linköping s long-term objectives is that the city shall be carbon dioxide neutral by Consequently, energy efficiency and a low climate impact are required during the building s entire life cycle, from material production and construction to operation and future development. An important aspect is that material shall be chosen that is robust and adapted to the complex environment that exists in an aquatics centre. Material selections shall be made conscientiously and based on a non-toxic perspective. Picture from previously conducted location investigation 4

5 The planning programme for Folkungavallen proposes that the new development shall be arranged in blocks with delimited private courtyard space for the residents and with entrances passing through. The height of the buildings will vary somewhat, but will be six floors on average. Parking shall be arranged underground below the blocks and the parking required for the aquatics centre s visitors will also be arranged underground outside the competition area. Stairs up from the car park can be arranged in the aquatics centre s façade or in adjacent building frames. The new city district will be linked to surrounding urban development by two existing streets, Snickaregatan and Emriks gata, being extended from the city centre into the new city district. Both of these streets will converge in the square in front of the aquatics centre. All streets in the city district will be given an inner city character, which means that all blocks will be designed with elevated and marked bottom floors that enable various kinds of businesses. A new square shall be arranged in front of the aquatics centre and be a destination in the city. In the new city district, there is also the Tinnerbäcksbadet swimming area that comprises an artificially heated bathing pond ( Tinnissjön Lake ) and a heated 50-metre pool. The area comprises sunning areas, a playground and more, as well as a building for changing rooms and a café. The outdoor swimming area is among Linköping s most important modernist facilities. The aquatics centre and the outdoor swimming area constitute a cohesive range of swimming for the visitor in the summer, which will be strengthened even more in conjunction with the establishment of the new aquatics centre. 5

6 2 Competition 2.1 Purpose of the competition The purpose of of the competition is to negotiate an assignment to plan/prepare complete architectural documents for the construction of the aquatics centre and the adjacent environment in the competition area with the submitters of the winning proposal. 2.2 Competition area The competition area is marked with a red dashed line and includes the aquatics centre building and its immediately surrounding park and urban space. See the marked area at right. 2.3 Competition assignment The competition assignment consists of designing the aquatics centre of the future that maintains a high level of architectural quality (aesthetics, function and technology), which is assessed to meet set requirements in terms of function, quality, cost and time to completion, and which conforms well to a new urban context. Competition area The aquatics centre The aquatics centre to be built shall consist of the following main components: 50-metre competition pool with stands, divisible for competition and training on a short course 25-metre training and exercise pool Diving pool for diving from heights of 1, 3 and 5 metres Teaching pool Water park landscape with wave pool and water slides, small children s area, outdoor area, etc. Relaxation area Rehab pool Gym including group exercise premises Changing rooms, serving areas, entrances, public spaces, access and outer functions. In addition to this, there will be staff rooms, operations spaces and technical spaces. The aquatics centre s access area and outer logistics will be arranged within the competition area. A local programme will be attached to the competition programme Urban planning perspective The aquatics centre will be located in an inner city environment. Consequently, the municipality wants the design of the aquatics centre to be made so that the building ties into the surrounding street space with open bottom floors. This should either be done so that the aquatics centre s own functions open out towards the surrounding streets and square, or that complementing premises will be proposed along the streets. Since the programme requirements for the aquatics centre provide for a low building compared with the surrounding development, the competitors will be encouraged to work with proposals on extension for various operations Building Limitation in height will not be stipulated in the competition programme, but rather extensive freedom will be provided for the competitors to propose the development s height and expansion within the competition area. The assignment includes organising and designing the building in such a way that it contributes to the surrounding street atmospheres and other public spaces. Volume and function shall relate to the place and consider the surrounding cityscape. The building s form and volume must, however, be based on the aquatics centre s function and that functional inner logistics are created. 6

7 2.3.4 Square The assignment will include designing a square that will be arranged on the south side of the aquatics centre and ties together Emriks gata and Snickaregatan. Access to the aquatics centre shall take place here and shall be designed together with the square. Functional requirements linked to access will be included in the local programme. The square in itself is a destination in the city and will be designed as a flexible activity space for temporary events linked to the aquatics centre, but also for other events tied to sports and other health-promoting activities. The square also plays an important role in directing light, providing orientation and giving an overview in the new city district The park around Tinnissjön Lake Picture from previously conducted location investigation Within the new city district, there is also the Tinnerbäcksbadet swimming area, which is described above under point 1.3. Tinnissjön and the outdoor swimming area are not included in the competition, but the competition assignment includes designing the new aquatics centre s façade towards the lake and showing how a walking passage can be arranged between the lake and the centre. The aquatics centre shall have an outdoor environment that connects to Tinnissjön Lake and the park space around it. 2.4 Competition programme The competition programme is under development and will be provided to the competitors in connection with the beginning of the competition in August Number of competitors Up to five of those registering interest will be selected to participate in the competition. 2.6 Remuneration The participants that are chosen for the continued competition will each be remunerated in an amount of SEK 300,000 after a proposal correctly submitted and approved by the competition jury. 2.7 Assignment after the competition for the winner Competition submissions received will be ranked. If no agreement regarding the continued assignment is reached with the winning submitter, negotiations will be taken up with the next submitter in the order of rank. On condition that requisite decisions regarding implementation are made, Lejonfastigheter AB has the intent to negotiate an agreement for programme preparation, and establishment of system documents with an option for detailed planning regarding the aquatics centre construction, supplemental side buildings and outdoor environment with delimitation. In the programme work, the client will add quality and functional requirements and in some cases material requirements. The client will also set environmental requirements and extensive requirements regarding quality assurance in planning. The agreement will be signed with Lejonfastigheter, but may be assigned by Lejonfastigheter to another party in the project planning phase, depending on what contract form is established. A collaboration contract may potentially be applied. The form for continued assignments will be described in more detail in the competition programme. If within a period of two years after the end of the competition, the arranger has not commenced negotiations with the winning proposal submitter, a compensation of SEK 300,000 excluding value added tax is payable for the assignment regarding the aquatics centre. 7
