RESURFACING A NEW PUBLIC BATH IN CENTRAL OSLO
What makes a bath public? When the city takes stock of the swimming facilities available to the public, their coverage includes everything from small private expensive institutions, to hospital facilities aimed at therapy and not available to the general public. In Røa bad, a new private swimming facilitiy in Oslo, the price of one adult ticket equals the price of two adults and two children in a public bath. It is however still deemed a success, and the city pays a premium to rent it for educational purposes. In our opinion, the existing demand bodes well for an affordable and centrally located public bath, with a strong emphasis on architectural quality. Looking back on the last 35 years, it seems the city can not rely on private parties alone to provide this service to the public. Our proposal entails constructing a new public bath in what is today a mostly unused courtyard, in a large architecturally diverse city block in central Oslo. The project aims to better the facilities for the recreational swimmers, who make out around 75 percent of the users of the citys public pools today. Offering a bath to this area would reintroduce public functions in an area that today is almost exclusively ; submittedVersion
