什鲁斯伯里国际学校
Shrewsbury International School
Shma：这个“运动场”是为什鲁斯伯里国际学校提议的一个新幼儿园操场。现有的游乐场是用传统的一体式游戏设备“定义”的，这种设备的游戏方式是有限的，不太鼓励儿童的大脑发育。为了突破这种典型性，建筑师为年轻人引入了更合适的游戏空间。
Shma: This ‘Play Field’ was proposed for a new kindergarten playground for Shrewsbury International School. The existing playground was ‘defined’ with traditional all-in-one play equipment, which ways of play is limited and does not much encourage child brain development. Aiming to break through this typicality, the architect introduces a more appropriate play space for young.

新的游乐场应该加强他们的探索意识和社会互动，这将有助于儿童的发展。该设计提供了一个宽敞灵活的“运动场”，可容纳一系列户外课堂活动。各种“游戏吊舱”随机放置在场地上，创造了一个更亲密的空间，1.2米的形状定义了不同的特征。高木隔墙。其中包括模仿蜗牛壳移动体验的“漩涡荚”，环绕着水生植物的“岛荚”，用泰国草药培养嗅觉的“药草荚”，用屋顶聚集全班的“教室荚”，以及他们最喜欢的沙滩游戏“沙荚”。隔板的高度足以让孩子们创造他们自己的世界，同时也让老师看到里面的安全。间隔开一个圆孔，加强了另一层空间相互作用。操场的第三个元素是“自行车道”，它蜿蜒在这些豆荚之间，有时穿过豆荚，为他们的自行车课提供有趣的游乐设施。
The new playground should enhance their exploration senses and social interaction which would assists child development. The design offers a generous and flexible ‘Play Field’ that can accommodate a range of outdoor class activities. Various ‘Play Pods’ are placed randomly on the field creating a more intimate space with different character defined by the shape of 1.2 m. high wooden partitions. These comprises of ‘Swirl Pod’ that mimics the experience of moving though snail shell, ‘Island Pod’ which encircled with water plant, ‘Herb Pod’ to develop smell sense with Thai Herbs, ‘Classroom Pod’ with roof for gathering of the whole class, and ‘Sand Pod’ for their all-time favorite sand play. The partitions are high enough for children to create their own world yet allowing teacher to see inside for safety. Circular hole at intervals reinforce another layer of space interaction. The third element of the playground is the ‘Bicycle Track’ which meanders between these pods and sometimes cut through the pods to provide fun rides for their bike class.
橡胶地板（EPDM）采用绿色色调，以模拟在草坪上玩耍的感觉。这也改善了整体环境，比典型的强原色地板对儿童敏感的眼睛更舒适。所有现有的树木都是为了遮荫而保留的，而灌木则是因为其质地多样而选择的，突出的是“鸢尾”和“象耳”，它们随风轻轻移动，直立的巨叶很容易超过瞳孔的高度。这是一次终极的花园游戏体验。
Green colour tint of the rubber floor (EPDM) is chosen to simulate the feeling of playing on a lawn. This also improves the overall environment which is more pleasant to children’s sensitive eyes than typical strong primary colour flooring. All existing trees are kept for their shade and shrubs are selected for their variety of texture quality highlighted with ‘Iris’ which move softly along with the wind and ‘Elephant Ear’ which feature an upright giant leaf that is easily surpass the height of the pupil. It’s an ultimate play garden experience.
通过探索操场，孩子们面临着不断变化的空间，从内到外，从不被看到到被看到，从私人到公共，可能性无穷。操场可能会培养他们的探索意识，培养他们的社交技能，这对他们的未来至关重要。
By exploring the playground, children are facing with constantly changing spaces from inside to outside, from not being seen to being seen, and from private to public with endless possibility. The Playground will perhaps prepare them the exploring sense and develop their social interaction skill which is vital for their future.
