碧翠丝公园是阿姆斯特丹最古老的现代城市公园之一。公园最古老的部分由Jacoba Mulder设计,建于1938年,是19世纪的浪漫风格向二战后的功能主义风格过渡的特征。Beatrixpark是阿姆斯特丹Zuidas地区的一部分,该地区战略性地位于市中心和史基浦机场之间。在今天,公园被夹在A10环路、西侧的贝多芬街和东侧的RAI会议中心之间。

Beatrix Park is one of Amsterdam’s oldest modern city parks. The oldest part of the park, designed by Jacoba Mulder, was built in 1938 and is characteristic of the transition from the romantic style of the 19th century to the more functionalist style of the post-WWII era. The Beatrixpark is part of the Amsterdam Zuidas area, a district strategically situated between the city center and Schiphol Airport. In the present day, the park is wedged in between Ring Road A10, Beethoven Street on the west side, and the RAI Convention Center on the eastern side.

Beatrix Park is one of Amsterdam’s oldest modern city parks. The oldest part of the park, designed by Jacoba Mulder, was built in 1938 and is characteristic of the transition from the romantic style of the 19th century to the more functionalist style of the post-WWII era. The Beatrixpark is part of the Amsterdam Zuidas area, a district strategically situated between the city center and Schiphol Airport. In the present day, the park is wedged in between Ring Road A10, Beethoven Street on the west side, and the RAI Convention Center on the eastern side.

为了弥补RAI在90年代的扩张,A10路、贝多芬街和圣尼古拉斯中学之间的一片土地被添加到公园中。这个区域被命名为 “湿谷”,是一个带有观景山丘的长形池塘,使公园的位置更加集中,同时也将公园的新中心变成了一个半岛。随着Beatrixpark最近的重建,Carve被要求在 “半岛 “上的旧篮球场位置设计一个多功能的操场。除了为0-6岁的儿童创造一个游乐场,它还应该是一个也能吸引较大儿童的游戏对象。

To compensate for the expansion of the RAI in the ’90s, a strip of land between the A10, the Beethoven, and St. Nicolaas Lyceum was added to the park. This area, named ‘The Wet Valley’ is an elongated pond with viewing hills that positions the park more centrally whilst at the same time turning the new heart of the park into a peninsula. With the most recent redevelopment of the Beatrixpark, Carve was asked to design a multifunctional playground on the location of the old basketball court on the ‘peninsula’. In addition to creating a playground for children aged 0-6 years, it should be a play object that also attracts older children.

在寻找一种对所有年龄组都有吸引力的雕塑形式,同时作为一个聚会场所,Carve设计了一个有机形状的雕塑,将各种游戏功能结合起来。通过将各种功能安排在一个物体中,它周围的空间被分为三个区域,重新定义了它的周围环境。在雕塑内部,儿童可以攀爬、滑行和悬挂。因为这些游戏功能被部分隐藏,所以创造了一个令人兴奋的游戏体验。

In looking for a sculptural form that is attractive for all age groups and at the same time serves as a meeting place, Carve designed an organically shaped sculpture that incorporates various play functions. By arranging the various functions in one object, the space around it is divided into three zones, redefining its surroundings. Inside the sculpture children can climb, slide, and hang. Because these play functions are partially hidden, an exciting play experience is created.

在雕塑的一侧,集成了一面镜面墙,它反映了其绿色的环境。在玩耍或接近镜面墙时,玩耍的孩子和路人的反射非常扭曲,这引起了直接的反应。在物体的第二个 “腋窝 “里,一个大型蹦床被整合到地板上。在第三个 “腋窝 “里,一个球门被画在墙上,把这个区域扩展为一个运动场。最后,物体的一个外端蜷缩起来,为一个大秋千创造了空间。这样就创造了一个全方位的游戏对象,儿童可以在上面、周围和里面玩耍。

On one side of the sculpture, a mirrored wall is integrated, which reflects its green surroundings. Whilst playing or approaching the mirror wall, the reflections of playing children and passers-by are extremely distorted, which provokes immediate reactions. In the second ‘armpit’ of an object, a large trampoline is integrated into the floor. In the third armpit, a goal has been painted on the wall, extending the area as a playing field. Finally, one of the outer ends of the object curls up, creating a space for a large swing. With this, an omnidirectional play object is created, that children can play on, around, and inside.

虽然该物体略微隐藏在树木之间,但其明亮的淡紫色涂层和独特的形状创造了一个从远处就能看到的地标,为公园中一个曾经被遗忘的地方带来了新的活力。

Although the object is slightly hidden between the trees, its bright lilac coating and distinctive shape create a landmark that is visible from afar, giving a new dynamic to a formerly forgotten part of the park.
