Carve | Towers and Nets in Urban Plazas: Reaching Upward for Space

In an urban plaza with extremely limited space, the play area develops vertically: a slender steel-framed tower, filled with layers of rope nets and platforms inside, where children climb from the bottom to the top and then slide down. The tower occupies less than ten square meters but provides several floors' worth of activity. The structure is made of thin steel tubes and stainless steel cables, with a transparent appearance that does not obstruct the plaza's views or sunlight. Surrounding it are paving, tree pits, and adult seating; the play area is not separated by fences but shares the same space with the plaza's daily activities. Daytime shot from a low angle in the plaza, clearly showing the tower's transparency and its relationship with the surrounding buildings. Avoid: structure made into a solid mass, large and low footprint, separated by fences, obstructing surrounding views.

在面積極為有限的都市廣場上,遊戲空間往垂直方向發展:一座細高的鋼構塔,內部以層層的繩網與平台填滿,孩子從底部爬到頂端再滑下。塔的佔地不到十平方公尺,卻提供了數層樓的活動量。結構為細鋼管與不鏽鋼索,外形通透,不遮擋廣場的視線與陽光。周圍為鋪面、樹池與成人的座位,遊戲區沒有被圍籬隔開,而是與廣場的日常共用同一個空間。日間從廣場低角度仰拍,塔的通透與周圍建築的關係清楚。避免:結構做成實體量體、佔地大而低矮、以圍籬隔離、遮擋周圍的視線。
