Whether it\u2019s an individual seeking to get fit or to work on their mental health, a team striving to push the limits of speed and strength or cities committing to nourish their communities. Concerns about sports, recreation, wellness, well-being and general health are at the forefront of science, research, education \u2014 and architecture. Over the last decade, our awareness of the importance of good health and nourishment has established wellness and well-being as pillars that support a prosperous, functioning society.<\/p>\n<p>Each day, individuals and athletes alike track their fitness, heart health, hormone cycles, genetics, thoughts, and diet to become healthier, happier, and more fulfilled. Architects and designers are charged with the challenge of creating spaces to facilitate these lifestyle choices. While huge shifts are being made in the industry around inclusivity, body shaming and diet culture, spaces of acceptance, encouragement and safety are emerging all over the globe thanks to design teams embracing research and technology to inform their projects.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104321 lazy lazy_media_item alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-1-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=2560%2C1856&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1856\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-1-1-scaled.jpeg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-1-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C217&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-1-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C742&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-1-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C557&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-1-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1113&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-1-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1485&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-1-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=400%2C290&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104319 lazy lazy_media_item alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.arc.ht\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-3-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=2560%2C1659&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1659\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-3-1-scaled.jpeg?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-3-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=300%2C194&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-3-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=1024%2C664&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-3-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=768%2C498&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-3-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=1536%2C995&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-3-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1327&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.staging.arc.ht\/wp-content\/uploads\/Beloit-College-Powerhouse-3-1-scaled.jpeg?resize=400%2C259&amp;ssl=1 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/projects\/beloit-college-powerhouse-1\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Beloit College Powerhouse<\/a> <\/strong>by <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/firms\/studio-gang-architects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Studio Gang<\/a>, Beloit, WI, United States Photographs by Tom Harris<br \/>\nJury Winner &amp; Popular Choice, 2021 A+Awards, Gyms and Recreation Centers\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Beloit College Powerhouse is an adaptive <a href=\"https:\/\/architizer.com\/blog\/inspiration\/stories\/studio-gang-powerhouse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reuse project of a decommissioned coal power<\/a> plant that swept the Gyms and Recreation Centers category at the 2021 A+Awards, taking home the Jury and Popular Choice prizes.

Just of the famous strip, the state-of-the-art home of the NFL Raiders is nothing short of space-age. Coming in at an astronomical $1.9 billion and inspired by luxury sports car design, the stadium is flashy and eye-catching and could fit nowhere better than Las Vegas. The stadium is an architectural and engineering marvel. <\/span><span class=\"s1\">The unique features of the domed stadium include a cable net truss system where the seven-acre ETFE roof is suspended by 100 stainless steel cables to create the lightweight roof structure diaphragm. The translucent roof also protects spectators from the blistering summer heat while preserving the atmosphere of an outdoor stadium. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Additionally, the team found a way to facilitate a real grass field in the desert by designing a retractable field system that allows the natural grass field to move outdoors for sunlight and water.
