Calorie Park was an entry into the 2012 LAGI competition designed by Morteza Karimi. The concept behind this proposal is the idea to incorporate practical and efficient solutions for the site to be sustainable. There is an emphasis on using local sources of renewable energy to produce electricity, reflected in the use of solar panels in sunny regions and wind turbines in windy areas. However, the main renewable energy used is kinetic energy; converting mechanical energy produced by athletes into electricity while they exercise inside the installation.
