今年，坐落于克罗地亚乌玛格Marija i Lina小学旁的运动场项目正式完工，将之前废弃的学校运动场变身为广受当地市民、运动员和儿童青睐的聚集场所。该项目由建筑师Nenad Marić设计，投资者是乌玛格市政当局，旨在对乌玛格小学旁边现有的、几近废弃的操场区域进行重建。

This year, in Umag, the project for the sports field next to the Elementary School of “Marija i Lina” was completed in Umag, which turned the previously abbandoned and unused school sport field into a gathering place for citizens, athletes and children. The playground was designed by architect Nenad Marić, and the investor was the Municipality of Umag. The project consisted of reconstruction of the existing, neglected, playground area next to the elementary school in Umag.

除了改造操场外，项目任务包括对其周边环境的改造。宽阔的环形区域道路、学校体育大厅以及开敞的绿地定义了体育场的环境背景，现有操场由三个基本元素组成，分别为：作为主要部分的运动场地区域，运动场周围的环形跑道，以及跑道外侧的堤防绿地。原操场，作为学校操场，是专门为儿童和学童设计的，而在不上课的时间里，操场则无人使用。

The project task included the reconstruction of the playground space and the transformation of the surrounding environment. The context is defined by a wide regional road with roundabouts, a school’s sports hall and a spacious green area, while the existing condition of the playground consisted of three basic elements: field – sports field area, track – surrounding the field and embankment – around the track. The school playground is a space intended for children, schoolchildren, but also a space that did not have its users in the hours when classes are not taking place.

设计的核心理念基于人们对于户外运动设施不断增加的需求（在疫情限制期间，这种需求尤为明显），此外，设计团队还坚信空间能够影响人们的行为习惯，精心设计的空间可以产生新的社交联系，激发新的活动内容。设计师希望该项目同样可以服务于当地市民，因此操场的设计应该是开放的，以适应每个人的使用需求。

Apart from the fact that the demand for a designed outdoor sports facilities is growing every day (which was especially evident during the period of restrictions related to the pandemic), we were guided by the idea that space affects people’s habits and that well-designed space can generate new activities of socializing and meeting. With the idea of ​​involving citizens, a school playground was designed that should be open and adapted to everyone.
