这是由DE MATOS RYAN设计的英国伦敦南部萨瑟克区的Charlotte Sharman小学游乐场。设计师决定推出新的设计方案，取代原本平淡的灰色柏油操场，利用绘制有鲜艳色彩抽象画的柏油地面来连接场地上的新建的两座木质构架和攀岩墙。

当面对公共部门削减开支的时候，该项目向世人演示了如何通过小规模的干预，带来积极的变化。设计师利用名为“俱乐部”和“舞台”的两个木质构架，来鼓励孩子们讲故事和表演，并促进孩子们尽可能地发挥其创造性。同时，场地还提供了遮阳避雨的功能，并且在夏季学期能够被利用作为户外教学区域。

木质构架的设计为孩子们创造了一个空间，让他们能够在这个充满想象的空间中表演出自己构想的故事。孩子们的想象力是无限的，漂浮在水面的玩乐设备及新的建筑结构，都能够让孩子们徜徉在奇妙的海洋景观之中。抽象的亭台楼阁，鼓励孩子们重新诠释他们自己的海洋世界，他们占领了建筑的大部分区域，并将其想象为甲板、船长的小屋、勘探平台和划艇等等。

London-based practice de Matos Ryan has brightened up the playground at Charlotte Sharman Primary School in Southwark South London with a new play scheme designed to promote dramatic inquiry. The scheme replaces an uninspiring grey tarmac playground and is centred around two new timber pavilions and climbing wall linked by a brightly coloured abstract landscape painted directly onto the tarmac.

At a time of public sector spending cuts, the project illustrates how it is possible to effect positive change through small-scale intervention. Dubbed ‘The Clubhouse’ and ‘Stage’ the two pavilions have been designed to promote creative play and encourage story telling and performance. They also provide shelter from the rain and sun and double up as an outdoor teaching area during the summer term.

The pavilions provide a backdrop for dramatic inquiry, a term the practice became aware of whilst working with education psychologist Brian Edmiston on a collaborative research project for Creative Partnerships at Wearhead Primary School, County Durham. The intention has been to create a space in which the school children can act out imagined narratives in imagined spaces.

The scheme was developed in consultation with the pupils of the school through their School Council. The imagination of the children was unlimited and gave license to the playground being understood as a fantastic marine landscape whereby the new built structures and play equipment were flotsam on the surface of the water.

The pavilions are sufficiently abstract to encourage renewed interpretations so that within the marine landscape the children can occupy them as numerous parts of a ship: the hold, the captain’s cabin, an oil platform and a rowing boat. The pavilions are constructed of a steel frame and decking boards affixed to WBP plywood and are clad with slatted Siberian Larch. Sinuous lines carved into the larch of the Clubhouse create a wave formation across the slats adding dynamism to the structure. A series of gridded ‘rafts’ incorporated into the tarmac landscape are hot spots to play out a unique game called Champ which was historically devised by the school pupils and especially incorporated by the architects for this setting.
