Dattner Architects | Central Park Adventure Playground: Concrete Landscape and Cones

A sunken play landscape constructed from concrete: a climbable cone, a group of pyramid-shaped stepped hills, a winding low-wall maze, and an in-ground sandpit and shallow water channel, all continuously poured as a single integrated unit from the same material, rather than scattered independent play structures. The elevation changes of the terrain itself provide climbing and sliding, while the low walls offer hiding and definition. Surrounded by existing old trees and the natural topography of the park, the playground is recessed into it without protruding. The concrete surface has a rough aggregate texture. Photographed under dappled tree shade during the day, geometric forms juxtaposed with tree shadows. Avoid: play structures separated and not integrated, using colorful plastic, completely flat terrain, cutting down existing trees.

以混凝土砌成的下沉式遊戲地景:一座可攀爬的圓錐體、一組金字塔狀的階梯丘、一道彎曲的矮牆迷宮、以及一片與地面齊平的沙坑與淺水道,全部以同一種材料連續澆築成一個整體,而不是散置的獨立遊具。地形的高低差本身提供攀爬與滑行,矮牆提供躲藏與界定。周圍為既有的老樹與公園的自然地形,遊戲場沉入其中而不突出。混凝土表面帶著粗糙的骨料。日間斑駁的樹蔭下拍攝,幾何體與樹影並置。避免:遊具彼此分離不成整體、使用彩色塑膠、地形完全平坦、砍除既有樹木。
