Seaside Play Area: The Boundary of Fresh and Salt Water

Coastal Water Play Area: The Junction of Fresh and Salt Water
A water play area located behind the beach, functionally serving as "the place before and after going into the sea": showers to rinse off sand and salt, shallow pools for children who are afraid to go into the sea, and shaded seating with a view of the ocean. The most important design aspect is not to obstruct the sea—all structures are kept low, with the line of sight extending over the water directly to the horizon. Materials must be salt-resistant: stainless steel should be high-grade, wood should be weather-resistant, and common carbon steel should be avoided. Sand will be brought in, so drainage and cleaning must be easy. People walk back from the beach, rinse their feet in the shallow pool, and sit down to watch the sea. Photograph during the day against the light, with the water play area, beach, and horizon receding in layers in the same frame.
Avoid: Structures blocking the sea view, using non-salt-resistant materials, elevation differences between the play area and the beach, pools made too deep.

設在海灘後方的戲水區,功能上是「下海之前與之後的地方」:沖掉沙與鹽的淋浴、給不敢下海的小孩玩的淺池、以及可以看著海的遮蔭座位。設計上最重要的是不要遮住海——所有構築物壓低,視線越過水面直接到海平線。材質必須耐鹽害:不鏽鋼要用高等級、木材選耐候種類、避免一般碳鋼。砂會被帶進來,所以排水與清理要好做。人從海邊走回來,在淺池裡沖腳、坐下看海。日間逆光下拍攝,戲水區、沙灘與海平線在同一畫面裡層層退開。避免:構築物擋住海景、使用不耐鹽的材料、與沙灘之間有階差、水池做得過深。
