Rapporten, udarbejdet på 3. semester af kandidatuddannelsen, er første del af den udvidede kandidatafhandling "At opleve rum til sport". Den er et teoretisk studie af, hvordan fremtidens rum til sport kan designes i små danske lokalsamfund. Arbejdet sætter social interaktion i centrum og undersøger, hvordan rum til sport både formes af og former kropslig bevægelse og kulturel identitet. Udgangspunktet er enkelt og intuitivt: at forstå disse rum gennem den kropslige oplevelse af at bevæge sig i dem. Studien tydeliggør, hvorfor kropslig bevægelse, social interaktion og kulturel identitet er vigtige, og hvordan rum til sport kan understøtte dem. På den baggrund formuleres en designstrategi for arkitektonisk kvalitet—det, der får rum til at fungere godt for mennesker—i fremtidens rum til sport i små samfund. Strategien danner grundlag for et konkret design til landsbyen Godthåb i den nordlige del af Danmark, som præsenteres i afhandlingens anden del.

This report, written during the third semester of the MSc program, forms the first half of the extended master's thesis "Experiencing space for sports." It is a theoretical study about how to design future spaces for sports in small Danish communities. The work places social interaction at the center and examines how sports spaces both shape, and are shaped by, body movement and cultural identity. The starting point is simple and intuitive: to understand these spaces through the bodily experience of moving in them. The study clarifies why body movement, social interaction, and cultural identity matter, and how spaces for sports can support them. Based on these insights, it sets out a design strategy for architectural quality—what makes spaces work well for people—in future sports spaces for small communities. This strategy will guide a concrete design for the village of Godthåb in the northern region of Denmark, presented in the second half of the thesis.
