Baltimore Bend游乐场是Almere Buiten的标志，目前已经开业，这是2022年初的一大震撼事件，这座多功能艺术游乐场由Arttenders与Studio Spass共同设计，目前已经完成，并且在Baltimore广场上拥有很高的存在感，该项目受到Almere政府的委托，其开幕仪式由女议员Hilde van Garderen主持。

Baltimore Bend, an icon for Almere Buiten has been opened! 2022 starts with a bang! And a blue bang at that. The multi-functional art playground Baltimore Bend, designed by Arttenders and Studio Spass, has been finalized and is shining in all its brilliance in Baltimore Square. The work is commissioned by the municipality of Almere and has been festively opened today by alderwoman Hilde van Garderen.





输入的手工艺品。Arttenders让社区参与到设计过程中来，从而拥有了广泛的支持，来自Almere Buiten的孩子们为Baltimoreplein广场找到了理想中的游乐场，他们的手工艺成为了艺术游乐场的设计灵感，该项目的名称“Baltimore Bend”在当地居民的投票中投影而成，在去年的秋天，设计方Arttenders与Studio Spass和Mannen van Staal共同合作开发了钢结构体系。

Crafts as input. Arttenders has generated a broad support base in Almere Buiten by involving the neighborhood in the design process. Children from Almere Buiten have for example helped figure out their ideal playground for the square at Baltimoreplein. Their crafts served as inspiration for four designs for the artistic playground. The design title Baltimore Bend was declared the winner in a public vote held amongst residents of Almere Buiten. During last year’s fall, Arttenders and Studio Spass collaborated with Mannen van Staal to develop the steel construction in their workshop.



Almere Buiten的城市更新。Baltimore Bend是Almere Buiten中心的部分更新地区，城市更新相关工作的女议员Hilde van Garderen说：“我非常高兴这项工作已经完成，我们终于可以向居民展示这一项目了，Baltimore Bend游乐场是公园、游乐场，以及艺术的结合，我们和当地伙伴们共同合作，共同应对挑战，让这里针对居民、企业家、游客都拥有一定的吸引力和未来的发展潜力，拥有独特的设计策略，这里一定会更好。”

Urban renewal Almere Buiten. Baltimore Bend is part of the urban renewal of the center of Almere Buiten. Hilde van Garderen, alderwoman of Urban Renewal: “I am glad the work is now finished, and we can finally reveal it to the residents of Almere Buiten. Baltimore Bend is a nice combination of park, playground, and art. Together with local partners, we work hard on the challenge to make the center attractive and future-proof again for the residents, entrepreneurs, and visitors. And with this unique design, the center will definitely be a lot more attractive!”



针对当地居民。Baltimore Bend项目由Arttenders、Jaron Korvinus，以及Studio Spass的Daan Mens合作开发，他们共同将传统的游乐场概念提升到了更高的层次，Arttenders的创始人Faye Ellen认为：“经过社会的设计，我们确保艺术作品并不只是满足视觉要求，同时也拥有环境与社会功能，因此当地居民的需求和技术的要求也是设计过程的出发点。”

Resident’s turn. Baltimore Bend has been developed by Arttenders in collaboration with Jaron Korvinus and Daan Mens of Studio Spass. Together, they have raised the traditional concept of a playground to a higher level. Faye Ellen, founder of Arttenders: “Through social design, we ensure that a work of art is not only a feast for the eyes, but also serves a functional and social purpose for its surroundings. The wishes of the residents and technical demands of the location itself have therefore been the starting point of the design process.”



Almere Buiten的灵感。项目的设计考虑了各个年龄段使用对象的需求，Studio Spass的Jaron Korvinus认为：“我们非常荣幸的是能够为城市设计艺术品，而这件艺术品拥有独特的欣赏价值，同时还可以给当地居民提供有了场所，Almere Buiten的建筑与周边环境激发了我们对于设计的灵感，我们对于形式和互动的迷恋完美契合。”

Almere Buiten as inspiration. The wishes of all age groups have been considered in the design. Jaron Korvinus of Studio Spass: “We feel very privileged to design a work of art for the Municipality of Almere which is not only special to look at, but which can also be played with by its residents. The architecture and surroundings of Almere Buiten have inspired us to this playful design, in which our fascination for form and interaction perfectly align!”



有机的形态和镂空部分的灵感来自于这座城市，这里有着丰富的色彩和建筑，除此之外还有当地的水环境和居住者的多样性，因此蓝色则来源于附近的水环境，而应用艺术作品不仅仅是孩子们的游乐场，更是能够为不同年龄段的群体提供多种功能，针对年轻人、老年人，亦或是残疾人、游客而言，Baltimore广场就如同会议场所、运动场所，亦或是娱乐中心，Baltimore Bend游乐场适合所有人。

The organic shape with its cutouts are inspired by the city of Almere: her colorful and experimental architecture, the water of Almere, and the diversity of the city and her inhabitants. The blue color is therefore a reflection of the water and color samples taken from the neighborhood. Besides this, the applied artwork is more than just a playground for children; the artwork serves multiple functions for diverse target groups. For young people, the elderly, disabled, and visitors of Almere Buiten, the renewed Baltimore Square acts as a meeting place, sporting venue, and recreational hub. Baltimore Bend has something for everyone!





建筑师通过鲜艳色彩的钢结构体系的曲线形态和穿孔面板，构成了具有趣味性的路径，似乎在邀请人们探索不同的区域，抽象和创新的设计激发着孩子们的创造力和想象力，让他们构思属于自己的游戏环境，艺术作品的开放式形态和能够确保父母的视线未被打断，同时也将艺术作品和城市环境直接联系在一起。

Through the curved shape and perforations in the brightly colored steel construction, a playful and interesting route is created which invites for exploration of different areas. The abstract and innovative design stimulates children to use their fantasy and creativity to make their own play environment. The open shape of the artwork ensures a clear view for parent and child and connects the artwork with its direct urban surroundings.   



Baltimore Bend游乐场是一个整体，当地人们可以自由地使用，你渴望来感受一下吗？

And it is finally here, Baltimore Bend is an entity and can be optimally used by the Almere Buiten residents. Will you come and try it out?
