吊舱游乐场
Pod Playground
Taylor Cullity Lethlen风景园林于6月22日在Pod游乐场向公众开放,挑战了传统的游戏环境理念,其特色是巨大的橡子小屋漂浮在天空中,巨大的Banksia圆锥体依偎在森林地面上。该游乐场的设计灵感来源于植物园的100片世界各地的珍稀濒危树木(也是由TCL和TZG共同设计的),旨在创造性地让孩子们感受树木的美丽,并培养与周围环境的终身联系。
Taylor Cullity Lethlean Landscape Architecture Opening to the public on 22 June, Pod Playground, challenges the conventional idea of play environments, featuring giant Acorn cubby houses floating in the sky and enormous Banksia cones nestled on the forest floor. Inspired by the Arboretum’s 100 forests of rare and endangered trees from around the world (also designed by TCL with TZG), the playground has been designed to creatively engage children with the beauty of trees and foster life-long connections to the remarkable surrounding environment.

“Using the idea of seeds as the beginning of a forest, children and their families can enter a fantasy world of exaggerated scales,” said Simone Bliss, Senior Landscape Architect, TCL.
“该设计认识到,游戏是所有年龄段儿童的重要社会发展和教育工具。它在与景观、气候和周围环境建立关系方面尤为重要。巨型种子中的世界旨在激发自发性和创造力,培养想象力,挑战自信橡子游乐区的特色是定制的游乐项目,包括昆虫舷窗、雷声面板、雨管和冰雹管、风铃、万花筒、滑梯、梯子、滑杆和绳索隧道,而巨石攀爬墙位于下方,包括攀爬网和黑板。Macrocarpa木条和红色雪松木瓦的组合覆盖着一个精致的钢翅片框架——这是雕塑机构在制作过程中向TCL提出的一个巧妙的结构解决方案。澳大利亚奇异而奇妙的本土植物群被玻璃钢筋混凝土的班克斯亚种子荚所捕获,这些种子荚位于一个沙坑内,在那里,幼儿被邀请挖掘、掩埋,并用竹编钟、邦戈鼓和丁字喇叭发出噪音,同时被美乐家树荫结构所遮蔽。
“The design recognises that play is a vital social development and educational tool for children of all ages. It is particularly important in forming relationships with the landscape, climate and surrounding context. The world amongst the giant seeds aims to stimulate spontaneity and creativity, to foster the imagination and to challenge confidence with growth.” The Acorn play area features customised play items including portholes with insects, thunder sound panels, rain and hail tubes, wind chimes, kaleidoscopes, slides, ladders, sliding poles and rope tunnels, while boulder climbing walls sit below and include a clambering net and blackboards. A combination of Macrocarpa timber battens and red cedar shingles clad a delicate steel finned frame – a clever structural solution put to TCL by Agency of Sculpture during the fabrication process. Australia’s weird and wonderful native flora is captured by glass reinforced concrete Banksia seed pods that are situated within a sand pit where toddlers are invited to dig, bury and make noise with bamboo chimes, bongo drums and a thongophone, whilst being sheltered by melaleuca shade structures.
一个大型定制设计的渔网和鸟巢秋千装置为更广阔的植物园提供了更高的视野,该植物园战略性地毗邻中央山谷,面向植物园名为“宽阔的棕色土地”的大型雕塑,孩子们可以在这里感受到他们正处于植物园的最高点。颜色保持在泥土般的秋天色调,通过气味、质地、形状和感觉提供感官体验。除一棵橡子橡树外,所有植物品种均为本地植物,生长过程中发挥了“讲故事”树的作用。当地的草已经种植好,可以在红色、橙色、黄色和白色的花丛中编织篮子。
A large custom designed fishing net and a bird’s nest swing set provide elevated views to the broader Arboretum, strategically placed adjacent to the Central Valley, facing the Arboretum’s large sculpture entitled, ‘Wide Brown Land’ where children can feel they are at the highest point of the Arboretum. Colours are kept to earthy autumn tones to allow a sensory experience through smell, texture, form and feel and all plant species are native except for one acorn bearing oak tree, growing to perform its role as the ‘story telling’ tree. Indigenous grasses have been grown to be harvested for basket weaving, sitting amongst flowers of red, orange, yellow and white.
游乐场入口arbour由Big Fish定制设计,从邻近的村庄中心创建一个到达点,而次要入口包括定制设计的动物屏幕,孩子们可以在7米长的拼图中识别澳大利亚动物。堪培拉国家植物园游乐场展示了一个游戏目的地如何在满足严格安全标准的同时,为所有年龄段的儿童提供真正独特和鼓舞人心的体验。
The Playground entry arbour was custom designed by Big Fish, creating an arrival point from the adjacent village centre while a secondary entrance includes a custom designed animal screen where children can identify the Australian animals within a seven metre long puzzle. The National Arboretum Canberra Playground demonstrates how a play destination can offer a truly unique and inspiring experience for children of all ages whilst meeting stringent safety standards.
