这是一个由CNC切割胶合板制成的趣味结构，由学生、学校管理人员和志愿者在工作坊活动中共同建造。

This playful structure, made from CNC cut plywood, was developed through workshops with the school children, funded through a charity dinner and built by the school caretaker and some volunteers.

▼项目概览，project overview

2017年，Highgate小学委托Collective Works对未经充分利用的操场空间进行优化。学校希望为正式的授课以及非正式的娱乐及表演活动提供灵活的空间，并坚信户外教学对于促进学生的积极性和改善身体健康有着十分重要的意义。设计团队在开展设计之前举办了创意工坊以收集孩子们对色彩、形状和景物的看法。当孩子们被问到“为什么在户外学习很重要”时，他们给出了简单的解释：“我们可以奔跑和大叫！”

In 2017 Highgate Primary School asked Collective Works to improve an underutilised space in their playground. The school needed flexible space that could be used for formal learning as well as informal play and performances by the children. The school has a belief in the importance of outdoor learning, understanding that it not only promotes emotional and physical health but also combats under achievement. Collective Works held design hacks with their team before holding an inclusive ideas workshop to gather and incorporate the children’s thoughts on colours, shapes and landscapes. When asked why learning outside is so important they simply explained “we can shout and run too!”

设计完成之后，由于资金的缺乏，项目只好被搁置下来。项目团队凭借其过去的众筹经验，与当地餐厅OmVed Gardens共同策划了一次筹款晚宴。餐厅的主厨Arthur Potts Dawson准备了五道主菜，在当晚筹集到了近3000英镑。得益于本次筹款，该项目也顺利于2018年夏天启动。

Once the design was complete however a lack of funding meant the project went on hold. The practice drew on their experience of crowdfunding and partnered with local organisation, OmVed Gardens to arrange a fundraising dinner and auction. Omved Garden’s Chef, and advocate for the World Food Programme, Arthur Potts Dawson prepared a five course meal and the evening raised nearly £3000. With this much needed injection of funds, building commenced in the summer of 2018.

这一65平方米的空间由落叶松木平台和彩色的背景墙构成，为学生们提供了日常的活动空间。孩子们可以在这里看书、画画、做手工，或者听老师讲故事。最受孩子们欢迎的是隐藏在墙壁中的“秘密空间”，小小的洞穴只有他们才能够进入。平时，这些空间用于存放黄色的圆柱形坐凳。

The 65 sqm space, which is formed of a larch platform and colourful backdrop, is being used every day by small groups of children for activities such as reading, arts and crafts, or listen to storytelling. One of the children’s favourites features are the secret spaces that are too small for adults to fit which are normally house the yellow stools.

据老师们说，一些孩子会借助这些秘密空间来放松心情，使室内教学不会为他们带来太多压力。黄色的凳子也可以作为积木玩具被堆叠成不同的高度，使孩子们在爬上爬下的过程中感受操场其他区域的景致。此外，木制平台还提供了自然的表演空间和集会场所，家长们也可以将其作为舒适的等候和接送区。

The school’s teachers have reported that some children have already been using these spaces to calm down and reset if and when faced by frustrations during indoor learning. The stools can also be stacked or used as building blocks, arranged at different heights to allow for a climbing route up and over with different views of the rest of the playground. The space will also offer somewhere to put on a show, spontaneously, or to practice for school assemblies and performances and as a comfortable waiting place for parents and carers at pick up times.

Highgate小学的校长William Dean表示，“Collective Work富有创意的设计使原本昏暗的操场角落发生了令人惊喜的转变，它鼓励孩子们以他们自己的独特方式和想象力去游戏。这间户外教室就像是一座魔法城堡，将童话故事里的动物们隐藏在其中，并为它们提供理想的栖息地和表演舞台。”

“A rather dark and somewhat windswept space within the Early Years’ playground, has been completely transformed with the creation of ‘The Outdoor Classroom’. Collective Work’s unique and innovative creation has inspired children to play in a range of imaginative and quite brilliant ways – it becomes a magical castle to hide from mythical creatures, a habitat for baby owls to nest and a stage on which to perform the best shows. — William Dean, Head Teacher at Highgate Primary

Collective Works合伙人Siri Zanelli表示：“通过打破传统游戏设施的设计惯例，我们希望打造出一个具有自身叙事性的、同时受到大人和小孩喜爱的空间。为孩子们打造空间时所需要考量的因素绝不少于为成年人做设计。”

Collective Works的建筑师Natalia Zwardon表示：“我们希望将孩子们的想法转化为一个能够带来自由的空间，就像大自然一样，使他们可以在充满想象的土地上尽情奔跑。攀爬路径能够激发他们的勇气和好奇心，由于正对着学校的教室，身处室内的学生们也可以随时感受到它充满活力的色彩。

“By moving away from the catalogue sets of play equipment, we wanted to design a space that creates its own narrative, and is enjoyable for children and adults alike. Spaces for children should be designed with as much consideration as spaces for adults.” — Siri Zanelli, Partner at Collective Works

“We wanted to translate the Children’s ambitions into a structure which, like nature, offer freedom, so the children could escape to an imaginary land. The climbing path was designed to encourage their bravery and curiosity and being directly opposite the conventional classrooms also means that colours from the structure are visible from indoors too.” — Natalia Zwardon,Collective Works
