The Ian Potter Children’s WILD PLAY Garden by ASPECT Studios was officially opened in October 2017 by NSW Minister for the Environment, Local Government and Heritage, Gabrielle Upton. Located within Centennial Parklands Learning Centre, WILD PLAY is designed as a learning experience for kids of all abilities aged 2-12. Its botanical adventure covers 6,500 square metres (roughly the size of a rugby field) with tracks and trails winding through densely planted mounds of shrubs and trees, with existing fig trees incorporated for seating and shade. WILD PLAY lets kids adventure through an artesian water basin of creek beds and fountains, tunnel their way through thick bamboo, navigate a balancing course in the form of an ‘eel’, snaking its way around fig trees, or cross a swing bridge and test their mettle climbing a treehouse.
由ASPECT Studios设计的Ian Potter WILD PLAY在2017年10月份正式向公众开放,建于Centennial Parklands学习中心的WILD PLAY是为年龄介于2-12岁之间的不同儿童群体作为学习体验而设计的。覆盖面积6500平方米(大约有一个橄榄球场大小)的丛林冒险区中,设有蜿蜒通过密集种植成堆的灌木和树木的跑道和小径,以及由现有的无花果树包围着的座椅和荫蔽区。WILD PLAY引导孩子自流水盆地溪床和喷泉开始探险,穿过茂密的竹林隧道,如同平衡课程中的鳗鱼一样,在无花果树间挖隧道蜿蜒穿梭,或是越过一段吊桥并勇敢地爬上一个树屋。
“Kids like discovery, challenges, movement and adventure. They thrive on being in nature – playing with water, climbing trees, jumping through puddles, hiding in trees. We know this instinctively as parents, and as designers we build these observations into our work,”
says Sacha Coles – ASPECT Studios Director and UTS Adjunct Professor. “The bamboo forest, banksia scrub and caves are about hiding, being engulfed, ducking and weaving. The water play is about immersion, relief, joy and surprise. The treehouse is about the sublime – delightful terror! Pushing yourself to the limit of comfortable risk. And the tunnel is about imagining becoming a burrowing creature!” Three years in the making, WILD PLAY was created with support from the Ian Potter Foundation, whose Children’s Garden at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne, has been a popular drawcard since opening in 2006, attracting 207,000 visitors into the gardens in 2016 alone. A shared goal between the Foundation, Centennial Parklands and ASPECT Studios is to promote innovation and excellence, with a focus on community health and learning, and in particular – encouraging active, inquisitive kids.
ASPECT Studios的主设计师、悉尼科技大学的客座教授Sacha Coles说:“孩子们善于发现,挑战新的事物,好动且喜欢冒险。他们可以在自然中茁壮成长——嬉水爬树,跳跃水坑,在树林中捉迷藏。而我们站在父母的角度,本能地认识到这一点,而作为设计师,我们应该把这些发现结合到设计中来。竹林,山龙眼科的灌木丛和洞穴用来捉迷藏。嬉水可引导孩子投入,放松,收获快乐和惊奇。树屋是一楚惊奇的令人愉快的探险,引你开启一段有限的舒适的冒险旅程。而隧道则是让孩子们打开思维,想象自己是一种穴居动物!”
在长达三年的建设中,WILD PLAY得到了Ian Potter基金会的支持,该基金会创立的位于墨尔本皇家植物园里的儿童花园自2006年开放以来就受到大众的追捧,仅在2016年就吸引了多达20.7万的游客前来游赏。基金会、 Centennial Parklands和ASPECT Studios共同的期望是能促进创新和卓越,聚焦居民的健康和学习,尤其是活泼、充满好奇心的孩子们。
