德国波鸿棋盘游戏景观设计

在未来几年，德国波鸿内城最大也是最重要的广场——休斯曼广场，将会被彻底地重新设计。在这项翻新工程开工之前，波鸿市政府发现可以通过一种不同寻常的方法，将内城转化为一个开放空间，在城市中心为市民提供玩耍娱乐场所。

One of the largest and most important inner-city squares in Bochum, Husemannplatz, will be completely redesigned in the coming years. The city of Bochum saw the last phase before the renovation as an opportunity. As an opportunity to try out inner city as an open space and, specifically, to make playing in the city center tangible with unusual ideas.

设计态度

ATTITUDES

1. 我们设计的并不是一个临时的游戏场地，而是一个临时的景观。

2. 这个场所是一个无论男女老少都会激发出好奇心的地方。

3. 这个场所的临时性和实验性都必须是可见的。

1. We don't want a temporary playground, we want a temporary landscape!2. It should be a place that arouses curiosity, regardless of age.3. The temporary, the experimental must be visible.

设计概念

CONCEPT

设置木板游戏的初衷是为了打破广场死板的对称结构。这样，木板游戏破掉了广场本身的轴对称，在混乱的形态中创造出对立关系。90个左右的木板犹如细网络一般覆盖了整个广场，每片木板呈水平放置，相互重叠，或倾斜或有着障碍物。

The starting point of the board game is to break the rigid symmetry of the square. The board game refuses idiosyncratic axiality and seeks tension in a form that brings a chaotic moment to the square. About 90 boards lay across the square like a network of narrow webs. The boards run horizontally, dip one below the other, are inclined or have gaps that have to be overcome.

但是在混乱的背后，却还是内含逻辑的：每块木板都是相同长度，并且相互连接成行。没有任意一块是单独存在的，它们始终都至少和另外一块木板连成线。这样有意为之的混乱使得场地有一种富有创造性的平衡，而设计整体还是清晰可辨的。对我们来说，这不仅是一个游戏场地，更是一个对所有人开放的、暂时的、雕塑性的景观。这件作品的外观也凸显了其临时性和实验性。

Behind the chaos, however, lies the logic that all boards are the same length and at the same time part of a row. No board is single, but always in line with at least one other board. A decision to bring the work into a creative balance and to make it legible despite all, even conscious disorder. A place that is not a playground for us, but a temporary, sculptural (play) landscape that is open to everyone. And a work that makes the temporary and experimental character visible in its appearance.

技术手法

TECHNOLOGY

由于广场整体翻新，我们才能将有钢铁支架的地板固定在花岗岩板上。这样焊接在钢铁支架上的螺纹杆就能用坚固的螺母固定在想要的高度。使得工程在应对中下层土情况变化时，结构依然具有一定的灵活性。螺纹杆一共有三种不同的高度，最高的螺纹杆还包括一块不高于60厘米的木板，来防止由于坠落而受伤。为了增加可玩性与可靠性，落叶松木板经过刨平，磨砂，上釉工序，同时为了在多样的场地中突出作品，木板边缘也涂上了对比度较大的颜色。可触碰的警示带放置在场地附近，可以让路人注意到场地情况。

The reconstruction of the square allowed us to screw the base plates of the steel consoles into the granite surfaces. Threaded rods are welded to the plates on which steel consoles can be screwed to the correct height with sturdy nuts. This allowed a certain amount of flexibility to react to the conditions of the subsoil during the construction process. There are a total of 3 different heights of the threaded rods, the maximum height including the board always remains below 60cm in order to take the fall protection into account. The larch boards are planed, sanded and glazed in a contrasting color on the edges in order to make the playability more reliable and to emphasize the work in a very heterogeneous environment, also visually. A tactile warning strip was affixed around the work to draw the attention of passers-by to the situation.
