孩子们的游戏空间
Children's Playspace / Architensions

来自建筑事务所的描述：美妙的空间取决于一系列胶合板结构，这些胶合板结构俏皮地抽象出自然元素，让人联想起穿行于林地堡垒之间，树丛中斑驳的光线以及雪地反射的阳光。

Text description provided by the architects. The space hinges on a series of plywood structures that playfully abstract elements of nature, recalling movement through woodland forts, dappled light streaming through trees, and the glow of the sun reflecting off of snow.



这个游戏空间由布鲁克林的健身专家们委托。他们在瑜伽和儿童保育方面具有专业知识，希望室内环境能够为一群儿童提供创造性的集体游戏场所。建筑师着眼自然界来创造空间框架，同时也积极研究在游乐场设计方面具有影响力的先例。 其中包括Isamu Noguchi的“轮廓游戏场”，这是一种鼓励自由形式游戏的开创性环境。以及Aldo van Eyck的一系列阿姆斯特丹游乐园，其中多方面的形式激发了不同类型的互动和活动。

The playground was commissioned by Brooklyn-based wellness professional with expertise in yoga and childcare who desired an indoor environment for creative, collective play for a small group of children. Architensions looked to the natural world to create the framework for space, as well as to influential precedents in playground design. These included Isamu Noguchi’s “​Contoured Playground,” a pioneering environment encouraging freeform play, and Aldo van Eyck’s series of Amsterdam playscapes, where multifaceted forms inspired different types of interaction and activity.



建筑师的设计过程植根于儿童的体验与审美之间的关系。 “作为建筑师，我们必须挑战自我，并提出许多问题。” Architensions事务所的负责人Alessandro Orsini解释说，“建筑环境如何与儿童的想象力、认知能力发展和审美诉求结合在一起？ 是否有可能将美学和功能融合在一起，形成一个吸引儿童的空间？”

Architensions’ design process was rooted in the relationship between children’s experience and aesthetics. “As designers, we had to challenge ourselves and ask a number of questions,” explains Alessandro Orsini, Architensions co-principal. “How can the built environment relate to children’s imagination, cognitive development, and aesthetic appeal? Is it possible to merge aesthetics and function for a space that appeals to children?”



组织原则变成了体验式建筑，或一系列产生不同感官效果的结构，来同时激发儿童的舒适感和探索力。“室内建筑成为这里的内部景观，旨在模拟季节的变化或雪中光线的影响。” Architensions事务所的共同负责人Nick Roseboro说，“这种环境使他们可以采取不同的身体姿势，创建边界以及操纵和重新创造周围环境。”

The organizing principle became experiential architecture, or a series of structures each producing different sensory effects that inspire both comfort and exploration in children. “The indoor architecture became an internalized landscape of events aimed at simulating the change of season or the effect of the light through snow,” says Nick Roseboro, Architensions co-principal. “This environment allows them to assume different body postures, to create boundaries, and to manipulate and re-invent their surroundings.”



同样地，选择材料时要考虑孩子的游戏安全性。 在整个空间中，胶合板被打磨和清晰着色，所有涂料均为非VOC天然着色剂。

Materials were likewise chosen with children, play, and safety in mind. ​Throughout the space, plywood is sanded and clear stained, ​and all paint is non-VOC natural stain.







环境中安排了三个主要结构，每个结构都有不同的几何形状和配色方案。 一个半圆形的“隧道”，让人联想起Noguchi的“轮廓运动场”，它通过从地面升起并经过一系列浅台阶来操纵地形。19英尺长的胶合板通道上有几何形切口，它们的框架轮廓描绘成太阳黄、茄子紫和凯利绿，它们像窗户一样进入更大的房间，让光线倾泻下来的同时展示了隧道的立面。半透明的橙色屋顶进一步增强了室内的彩色光芒。

Three primary structures are arranged in the environment, each with a distinct geometry and color scheme. A semicircular “tunnel,” recalling Noguchi’s Contoured Playground, manipulates the topography by rising from the ground through a series of shallow steps. Geometric cutouts line the 19-foot-long plywood passage. Outlined in frames painted sun yellow, eggplant purple, and kelly green, they act like windows into the larger room, simultaneously revealing the tunnel’s elevation while letting in cascades of light. A semi-translucent orange roof further enhances the interior’s colorful glow.



在提供自然光线的大窗户旁边，一个圆柱形的绿色环境（尺寸为10英尺宽x 8英尺高）则参照了树屋的形式。孩子们在这里可以爬上台阶，通过模拟叶子效果的绿色织物网观察空间。在空间的左侧，天花板上悬挂着一个用半透明的纸包裹的封闭形式，其高度接近12英尺。它的白色圆锥形暗示着圆顶冰屋。从内部看出去，孩子会体验一种特别的光照条件，类似于闪烁的雪。

Next to a large window offering natural light, a cylindrical, green environment measuring 10-feet- wide-by-8-feet-tall makes reference to a treehouse, where children can climb a set of steps to observe the space through green fabric mesh that simulates the effect of the leaves. On the left side of the space, an enclosed form covered in semi-translucent washi paper hangs from the ceiling, which reaches nearly 12 feet. Its white, cone-like shape alludes to an igloo; from within, children experience a peculiar light condition resembling the effect of scintillating snow.



“我们的目标是图标化这些形式，让它们易于识别和展示出一种欢迎儿童的姿态。” Orsini解释说，“并且，与此同时，创造鼓舞人心的空间，在这里孩子们能感觉到他们可以自如控制周边的环境。”

“The goal is to iconize the forms to make them recognizable and welcoming for the children,” explains Orsini. “And, at the same time, to create inspiring spaces where they will always feel in control of their environments.”



房间墙壁的两侧覆盖着液体金属效果的织物，暗示着水或天空，而另一面墙壁则装饰着画有树木的壁画。作为画龙点睛的一笔，四个涂成白色的、由泡沫板条制成的类似云朵的物体，被悬挂于三个主要结构之上，而地板则覆盖着柔软的棕褐色橡胶，让人联想起森林地板上覆盖着松针。

Walls of the room are covered on two sides with fabric with a liquid metal effect, alluding to water or sky, while another wall features a fresco of painted trees. As a finishing touch, the designers suspended four cloud-like forms made from foam slats painted bright white above the three primary structures, while the floor is clad in a soft, tan rubber recalling a forest floor coated in fallen pine needles.
