It seems that with its contemporary appearance it questions its historic surroundings. It is a complex morphology that offers many different types of play. In Carve's words, it comprises stimulating challenges for 'sliding, stepping, climbing, lounging, crawling, performing, balancing' and also invites other unforeseen means of interaction. All in one excellent exercise in shape and material. The jury praised the use of local craftsmanship. The shaping of the stone wouldn't be possible in many other countries due to high expenses, which, essentially, makes it site-specific. Furthermore, due to its sculptural quality, it doesn't necessarily look like a playground. The design of the playground holds many situations with an abstract charge; there is a hole that can act as a door, and there is a clear distinction between being inside and outside, up and down, so children may see it as a fortress, a space-ship, a creature from another world ... The object's context, everlasting material, contemporary shape, and its relation to the park and the trees offer enough contrasts and use interpretations that engage the imagination of children much more than conventional, catalogue-based playgrounds. ]]> https://landezine.com/tophane-park-playground-by-carve/feed/ 0 https://landezine.com/arcloud-by-carve/ https://landezine.com/arcloud-by-carve/#respond Thu, 16 Feb 2023 12:05:00 +0000 https://landezine.com/?p=101000 A new public realm for the Arcloud Shopping Mall in Hanam Gamil Arcloud is a large mixed-use development located at the foot of the Geomdansan mountain on the eastern edge of Seoul.
