Place Design Group Shanghai Office：
随着城市环境的快速变迁和人的不断流动，我们似乎总是在经历新事物，新的道路、新的设施、新的生活环境……很难不产生陌生感。但有时，能够激发情感联系的设计——有时仅仅通过简单却巧妙的小细节——也能为人们在变迁的环境中带来归属感，建立情感联结。With the rapid change of urban environment and the unceasing migration of people, we seem to be always experiencing new things, new roads, new home, new surroundings... which can easily lead to the sense of unfamiliarity. However, designs that stimulate emotional connection, sometimes just by simple but smart details, can create a sense of belonging and emotional connection for people in the changing environment. 政务壹号便是我们对这一设计思考实践的代表性例子。这一位于合肥市政务文化新区的项目由办公、社区配套商业、高层和小高层住宅组成，于今年初完成了住宅大区建设。2017年落成的示范区除简洁写意的设计外，儿童活动场地中的小象滑梯更是触发了许多合肥人的童年记忆，让人想起逍遥津公园中为童年带来了诸多乐趣的水磨石大象滑梯。The One is a typical case that has well utilised this design thinking. Located in the New Municipal and Culture District in Hefei City, the development consists of office towers, retail, high-rise and lower-rise residential buildings with the construction of the residential area completed early this year. In the display area completed in 2017, apart from the concise design, the sculptural play slide in the shape of an elephant located in playground had triggered the childhood memory of many locals about the terrazzo elephant slide in the old Xiaoyaojin Park.
设计师借由相似元素的运用，将其延续到儿童活动场地的设计中，以小象滑梯作为媒介搭建起两代人，甚至几代人的情感和记忆联结。如今逍遥津公园正面临更新改造，逍遥津的大象滑梯亦不知何去何从，但我们可以确信的是逍遥津大象滑梯承载的人们的童年记忆和今天孩子们的童年在政务壹号社区重叠，这份温暖也将继续传递下去。Applying similar pieces in The One, our designer uses the play slide as a medium that marries the memories and emotional connections of two and even more generations. Though the old slide faces an unknown future due to the park renovation at present, the warm childhood memories created by the elephant slide will continue to be passed on.

The design idea is also embodied in many other details. The feature wall with a scene of birds flying over mountains is designer’s tribute to the Dashu Mountain and birds in forests that used to be visible in the city.

Now the elephant play slide that was placed in the display area has been moved next to the colorful rotatable play structure in the community playground, together with bespoke facilities including elevated rubber surfaced mounds integrated with slides and a small wooden bridge has provided a rich play environment for kids.

临近儿童活动场地的自然探索园也是本案的一个亮点。我们选用本地常见的、具有高辨识度的植物、昆虫和鸟类，设计成放大镜科普认知牌分设在不同圆环绿岛中，信息简洁易懂，但包容了丰富的互动可能性。这是我们最早实践自然探索园体系设计的项目之一，也是我们在如何为城市中的儿童提供日常可及的了解和亲近自然的机会，从而起到潜移默化的自然教育这一设计思考之上，逐步深化实践的重要一步。Another highlight is the “Nature Exploration Garden” near the playground. We selected common and easily recognizable local plants, insects, and birds, and designed a set of bespoke magnifier shaped signages to place in different circular planting beds by category. The explanatory texts are concise and clear, whilst also providing rich opportunities for interaction. This is one of our first projects that includes the “Nature Exploration Garden” system, building on the broader design thinking about how to provide opportunities for children living in cities to learn and explore nature in their daily life as a way of nature education.

Combining both elements of enclosure and openness, folding screens are designed to divide the broad EVA space into several courtyards. These lockable slide screens can be moved to form larger or smaller spaces depending on requirements, creating more flexible scaled courtyard spaces for residents to enjoy.
