2015年，Carve和Playpoint赢得了由Moshe Safdie建筑事务所设计的Jewel Changi机场开发项目内的冒险滑梯景点的投标。该景点位于新开发项目最高层的天幕公园内，该项目包括一个购物中心、景点公园和一个花园，全部位于1号航站楼前。在这个天幕公园里，将有1400多棵树和棕榈树与许多其他景点一起被安置。创造终极机场体验，并说服旅客通过新加坡樟宜机场而不是其他机场。
In 2015 Carve and Playpoint won a tender for an adventurous sliding attraction inside the Jewel Changi Airport development, designed by Moshe Safdie Architects. The attraction is located in Canopy Park on the highest level of the new development, which includes a shopping mall, attraction park, and a garden, all in front of Terminal 1. In this canopied park, more than 1400 trees and palms will be housed alongside many other attractions. Creating the ultimate airport experience, and convincing travelers to go through Singapore’s Changi airport instead of others.
在Carve的最初概念中，游乐场被设计成类似于宝石的雕塑；被雕刻出来的部分–滑梯、楼梯和爬绳–揭示了宝石的彩色内部。这样一来，游乐场就呈现出了它的双重性；一颗宝石在宝石的第五环上平衡，而滑梯的吸引力则隐藏在里面。
In Carve’s original concept, the playground was designed like a sculpture resembling a gemstone; with parts that are carved out – the slides, stairs, and rope climbs – revealing the colored interior of the gem. In this way the playground presents itself in duality; a gem balancing on the fifth ring of a Jewel with a slide attraction hidden inside.
起初，这个蜿蜒的外壳被设计成在整个结构上铺设镜面瓷砖。在与客户的设计过程中，这表现为一个连续和无缝的抛光钢皮，包裹着三个圆锥体，支撑着大的通道平台。在公园的绿色森林山谷中，这是一颗闪亮的宝石。它是一个能吸引人们远道而来的物体。贝壳以其液态水银的形式，引导并突出了对周围环境的关注，游客可以体验到无限的、超现实的自我反射。地板上的橡胶图案甚至被设计成在游乐场的外壳上形成一个螺旋形的抽象反射。
At first, the sinuous shell was designed with mirror tiling over the whole structure. During the design process with the client, this manifested as a continuous and seamless polished steel skin wrapping around the three cones holding up the large access platform. A shiny jewel in the green forest valley of the park. It is an object that will attract people from afar. The shell, with its liquid mercury form, directs and accentuates focus on its surroundings, and visitors can experience infinite and surreal reflections of themselves. The rubber patterning on the floor was even designed to create a spiraling abstract reflection in the shell of the playground.
游乐场的观景台将是该建筑群中可到达的最高点，可以看到整个机场航站楼内部的美妙景色。自然，这将使游乐场的雕塑成为人群的宠儿和社交媒体的磁铁，但它也将邀请和吸引所有年龄段的儿童和家庭进行冒险和游戏。在具有挑战性的滑道上上下下，这种滑过锥体并在底部着陆的 “WOW “体验将使游客一次又一次地回来。
The viewing deck of the playground will be the highest accessible point in the complex, giving a fantastic view of the entire interior of the airport terminal. Naturally, this will make the play sculpture a crowdpleaser and social media magnet, but it will also invite and attract children of all ages and families for adventure and play. Going up and down the challenging slides, this “WOW” experience of sliding through the cones and landing at the bottom will make visitors come back time and time again.
游戏雕塑内部的亮黄色包含四个滑道；一个家庭滑道，一个陡峭的落差滑道，以及两个从最高点下来的玻璃覆盖的螺旋滑道。发现滑梯的结构有一个完整的双曲面钢制表面。弧形玻璃被用作栏杆，在观赏地板上，作为螺旋滑梯的盖子，以及最高锥体的双弧形盖子上。光纤灯被集成在结构周围的橡胶地板上，最高锥体中的点灯，以及弧形玻璃栏杆周边的LED条。空调也被整合到雕塑的观景台上，当孩子们在建筑屋顶下直接玩滑梯时，可以提供舒适的温度。
The bright yellow inside of the play sculpture contains four slides; A family slide, a steep drop slide, and two glass-covered spiral slides coming down from the highest point. The Discovery Slides structure has a complete double-curved steel surface. The curved glass was used as balustrades, in the viewing floor, as spiral slide covers, and on the double curved lid of the highest cone. Fiber optic lights were integrated into the rubberized floor surrounding the structure, point lights in the highest cone, and LED strips on the perimeter of the curved glass balustrade. Air-conditioning was also integrated into the sculpture’s viewing deck to provide a comfortable temperature when children are playing on the slides directly under the roof of the building.
发现滑梯游乐场跨度超过18米，长度为16.7米，在平台的最高点有7.5米高。在世界三个不同的地方建造和生产，它确实是一个非常复杂和独特的游戏雕塑。从概念设计到实现，这个项目花了两年多的时间才完成。
The Discovery Slides playground spans over 18 meters by 16.7 meters in length and stands at 7.5 meters high at the highest point of the platform. Built and produced in three different parts of the world it is indeed a very complex and unique play sculpture. From concept design to realization, the project took over two years to complete.
