拉丁学校游乐花园位于芝加哥黄金海岸社区卢里大厦前的场地上,这片土地起初是为学校扩建和翻新而购买,但由于无障碍设计标准和预算的限制,人们重新将该建筑规划为行政办公室,建筑下空闲的场地改造为四至六岁低年级儿童的游戏空间。该方案创造性地解决了学校人员拥挤的问题,同时在预算内最大限度地提高了建成效果,并完善了学校独特的屋顶操场,使学校可以让所有年级的学生同时进行课间休息和户外游戏。
The Latin School
Play Garden occupies the grounds of the former Lurie Mansion in the Gold Coast
neighborhood of Chicago. While the land was originally purchased for school
programming and renovation of the building for additional classroom space, ADA
compliance and budget restrictions instead prompted the re-imagination of the
building as administrative offices, using the grounds as a new play space for
the Lower School children, aged four to six. This creatively addressed the
school’s overcrowding issues while maximizing budget and outcome. It also
provided a much-needed addition to the school’s singular rooftop playground,
allowing the school to simultaneously stage recess and outdoor playtime for all
grades.
游乐场根据Reggio
Emilia原则设计,Reggio Emilia是一种幼儿教育方法,鼓励孩子们通过游戏和相互交流以及与老师的沟通来构建自己的学习方式。在这种背景下,环境就是最好的老师,激励孩子们越来越深入地研究自己的兴趣。
The playground was
designed according to the principles of Reggio Emilia, an approach towards
early childhood education that encourages children to construct their own
learning through play and exchange with each other, as well as with the
teacher. In this context, the environment is the teacher, inspiring children to
delve deeper and deeper into their interests.
团队创造了两个不同的区域:一个用于户外活动,一个用于休息和沉思。两个区域都以彩色铺装装饰地面,充当孩子们的抽象绘画区,运输系统和拼图游戏板。区域内有一小座凸起的花园和一间下沉的教室、一面攀岩墙和各种几何形状的蛇形座椅。使用了多种纹理和材料构造而成:包括植物,橡胶,岩石,碎石,木材和涂层。游乐场还设有小剧场,为戏剧表演和管弦乐队提供场地,给孩子们一个上台参与演出的机会。
Our proposal creates
two distinct zones; one active and one more contemplative. Both include a
colorful ground plane that can be interpreted at once as an abstract painting,
transportation system, and cartographic gameboard. Within this field lies a
raised garden, sunken classroom, climbing wall, and serpentine seating of
various geometries. Multiple textures and materials have been employed; plants,
rubber, rocks, crushed stone, mulch, and wood. A stage for theatrical
performances and an orchestra pit round out some of the opportunities for play
and engagement.
