HorseLand | 100architects

HORSELAND is a public space project comprising a combination of landscape design and different outdoor facilities in a single space, such as sport features, playscape features for kids and leisure features for adults.

梦马行云是一个独立公共空间，它是融合了多种户外设施的景观设计项目，比如，体育设施，儿童游乐场设施和成人休闲设施。

It is located in the hilly topographies of Chongqing, positioned in an urban plateau among residential buildings. Its privileged location provides a unique viewpoint toward the green cityscape of this urban area. 

它位于重庆市丘陵地带，地处城市高原上的住宅建筑群中。得天独厚的地理位置为这座城市的绿色城市景观提供了独特的视角。

Following our series theme of “Horses”, the design of this vibrant and multifunctional public space resembles the abstract geometry of a Horse when seen from an aerial point of view.

延续我们的“马”主题系列，创造了充满活力和多功能的公共空间，通过抽象几何体的组合，使其俯瞰如一匹矫健的骏马。

Inspired by the basic circular sketching strokes commonly used to draw animals’ anatomy, the abstract geometry of the horse is drawn only by intercepting circles of different size.

马的抽象几何学的灵感来源于通用的，绘制动物解剖结构的圆形笔画，通过截取不同大小的圆圈绘制而成。

We used the circle as basic geometry to reveal the different parts of the Horse’s body, as a design strategy to subdivide the space into multiple smaller functional pockets, turning the playscape into a multifunctional space to be enjoyed by kids & adults alike.

我们的设计策略是，以多种形态的几何圆形为基础，以展示马身体的不同部分，从而将景观空间细分为多个较小的功能性区域，将游乐场变成一个让孩子和大人都能寻得乐趣的多功能空间。

Transferring this idea to the spatial organization strategy of the project, we thought of creating a multifunctional public space by the combination and intersection of smaller independent fractions of circles, using smaller circles for simple functions and bigger circles for more elaborated ones.

基于上述理念，转换到本项目的空间组织策略中，我们考虑通过部分较小独立的圆的组合和交集，用较小的圆来实现简单的功能，用较大的圆来实现更复杂的功能，从而创造一个多功能的公共空间。

Besides having leisure spaces to be enjoyed by adults, such as seating and resting features, the project also counts with a series of play pockets for the entertainment of young users, such as a climbing surface, an amphitheater hill or a mini basketball court among others. However, the most prominent and eye-catching feature is the biggest circle, which consists on a circular elevated pipe from which are hanging many sport related features for outdoor fitness activities, enclosing a fitness area to complete the functional program.

除了有供成年人放松的休闲空间，如座椅和休息设施，还包括一系列供年轻人娱乐的游戏空间，如攀岩场、圆形剧场或迷你篮球场等。然而，最突出、最引人注目的是最大的圆圈，它由抬升的圆环立面的竖向空间，以及其上悬挂着的许多与运动相关的户外健身设施组成，从而围成一个健身区来凸显其功能性。

The Horse is surrounded by circles of greenery to insert a pinch of nature within the proposal and complementing the overall doted landscape.

马的周围环绕着一圈绿色植物，在设计中加入一些自然气息，并与整体景观相得益彰。

Custom lighting features were designed specifically for this project, featuring branched poles with spherical bulbs matching the circular design language.

照明灯是专门为这个项目量身定制的，采用了分支的球形灯泡，与圆形设计语言相呼应。

The big majority of playing surfaces and sport areas are solved with EPDM rubber in multiple vibrant colors to highlight the geometrical intersections of different circles. The remaining circulation space is solved with shades of grey pavement stone, allowing a strong contrast with the shape of the Horse.

大部分比赛场地和运动场地采用多种颜色鲜艳的EPDM橡胶，以突出不同圆圈的几何交叉点。剩下的流动空间用灰色的铺路石，与马的形状形成强烈的对比。
