缅甸竹操场丨Blue Temple

项目位于缅甸，是一座具有双重功能的竹制结构装置。一方面，该结构将学校的操场变身成一个有趣且具有互动性的景观界面，它像一条缎带一样从地面延伸至屋顶，孩子们既可以在装置上面玩耍也可以在下面或周围乘凉休憩；另一方面，本项目也反映出建筑师对于城市中未受重视的非正式公共空间的思考，场地上的输水管道随着时间的推移逐渐变身成一条步行通道，引导人们穿越郁郁葱葱的草丛；精心设计的照明不仅出于美学考虑，同时为学校提供了安全的夜间环境，在灯光的衬托下，该装置变身成一座雕塑，甚至景观地标，为这里创造出一种独特的场所感。

The construction serves 2 different functions. On one side, the school playground becomes an interactive and playful surface, a sort of ribbon that starts as a floor and morphs into a roof, kids can play on top, around, and underneath the structure. On the other side, the design is addressing an unconsidered and informal public space in the city; an above-ground water pipeline that over time became a pedestrian highway; by providing it with lighting at night for safety and aesthetic purposes, the structure also stands in the landscape as a sculpture, a landmark to create a sense of place.

根据校方的要求，项目的搭建范围被限制在学校中央开放空间的边缘，而主要开放空间还将继续作为男孩儿们的足球场使用。在本项目开始之前，该场地实际上就是学校浴室后面的垃圾堆放处，设计团队不得不花费整整一个星期的时间清除和处理垃圾。而项目落成之后，学校最具问题的部分转变为备受孩子们青睐的理想游戏场地，使校内有限的娱乐空间得到了优化。

The school allocated to our project a space at the border of the central open space, mostly used by boys to play football. Our designated space was literally a rubbish dump behind the school bathroom. We had to spend an entire week cleaning up and dispose of the trash. By transforming the most problematic part of the school into a very desirable space for the kids, the limited recreational space was optimized.

设计的核心理念旨在以微建筑的方式引导孩子们展开一系列充满想象力的自主游戏活动，例如跑酷，以达到鼓励孩子们自由探索、积极参与户外活动的目的。如丝带一般的装置的两端都以极具互动性的方式邀请着孩子们前来玩耍，一端的竹席延伸至地面、隐蔽在一棵茂盛的大树之下，另一段则是倾斜的藤架。流畅的曲线形结构与学校的建筑形成对比，在场地上和孩子们的心中创造出一处特别的场所，一个有趣且与众不同的地方。

The concept was to create a micro-narrative as a series of imagination-fueled, self-directed games into a kind of parkour. The games give the children the freedom of exploring a multitude of ways of engagement. Both ends of the ribbon-like structure are inviting and welcoming the kids to come and play. One end starts as a bamboo mat floor right under a beautiful tree, the other as a tilted pergola. The circular shape of the structure contrasts with the architecture of the school and creates a special place on the site and in the minds of the kids, one that is playful and different.

项目的成型得益于香港设计信托基金会提供的种子基金。在建造过程中，设计团队与缅甸竹材专家Kyaw Zin Latt通力合作，Kyaw Zin Latt同时也是“缅甸仁爱之家”项目的承包商。此外，他还参与了结构的设计，提供了一系列对竹子种类以及节点形式的建议，并将设计团队的构思做成1:1的实体推敲模型等。为了使施工过程对工人来说更容易，本项目没有采用任何绘制文档，而是全程依靠模型作为搭建依据，通过1:50的模型将结构以可视化的方式呈现出来，并通过测绘标记以及简单易懂的小图来向工人们展示出施工的细节。

Our project received a seed grant from Design Trust in Hong Kong that allowed the project to take shape. We worked together with Kyaw Zin Latt, a Myanmar bamboo technician, also a contractor for ‘Habitat for Humanity Myanmar’. He was also involved in the design of the structure, by either suggesting different joints to be used, which bamboo species were appropriate, prototyping some ideas 1:1 scale before the construction. In order to make the construction process easier for the workers, we decided not to draw any documents, but to rely only on an architecture model as a construction document. The 1:50 scale model was used to visualize the structure, write down measurements and draw small diagrams to explain construction details.
