Thawsi游乐场打破了标准化大规模生产的塑料游乐场的形式，展现出最大限度地与自然的联系，并提供独特的、自由玩耍的体验。

Thawsi playground was conceived as a departure from the standardized mass produced plastic playground. A key driver was to maximize the connection with nature and to provide a sense of free play.

场地独特且具有挑战性，游乐场的建造是Thawsi学校更新的一系列计划中的第一步。新游乐场的建成归功于一项宏伟的计划，该计划旨在将一条机动车道引入该场地，这导致原来的游乐场被拆除，并将新游乐场定位在规划道路上方的高架平台上。

The site is unique and challenging. The playground itself is the first in a series of planned renovations to the overall Thawsi school Master Plan. The location of the new playground is in response to an ambitious plan to introduce a vehicular road into the site. This results in both the eradication of the original playground and the positioning of the new playground on an elevated platform above the planned road.

设计最鲜明的特征之一是其与原游乐场的独特关系，被取代的木制游乐场原本深受学生的喜爱，于是团队试图在新设计中保留其最成功的品质，其中包括使用木材作为主要材料。从这个意义上说，新的Thawsi游乐场可以说是对原游乐场进行回收和升级的结果，这些改造使得一个全新的主题诞生。

One of the design’s most distinct characteristics is its unique relationship to the playground it replaced. The superseded wooden playground was much loved and highly rated by students. In response to this we tried to preserve its most successful qualities into the new design, among them the use of wood as the primary material. In that sense, the new Thawsi playground can be said to be the result of the recycling and upgrading of ideas that allow an altogether new proposition to arise.

游乐场所在的高架平台同样也是设计独特性的一部分，设计师以此为契机，开发了一种被理解为零件装配的设计。无论是在材料和装配层面，还是在游乐结构层面，这种组装的思维方式让人们可以在场地外建造游乐结构，并在平台上重新组装，而无需建造结构基础。平台本身也可以被理解为设计的延伸，因为团队特别注意围绕现有树木进行建造，并确保平台的高度不会造成危险。平台边缘经过精心设计，使树木得以穿过平台，而不干扰其生长。

The elevated platform the playground is situated on also contributes to the design’s distinctness. We took this as an opportunity to develop and introduce a design understood as an assembly of parts, both at the level of its material and assembly as well as at the level of the play structures. This mindset of assembly allowed the play structures to be built offsite and reassembled on the platform without the need for structural foundation. The platform itself can also be understood as an extension of the design, as we took particular care to build around existing trees and make sure that the elevation of the platform didn’t contribute to hazardous play. We carefully designed the platform’s edges and allowed trees to perforate the platform.

如此设计的结果是带来了游戏结构的个性化和多样性，每个游戏设施都有自己的功能、结构逻辑和自主性。木桥，塔楼，沙坑，平衡木和踏步，各自扮演自己的角色，并相互关联，集成到一个高架平台上。

The outcome was a diversity of individually designed play objects, each with its own function, structural logic and autonomy. The bridge, the tower, the sandpit, the balancing beam and the climbing steps, each with their own identity, conceived with the others in mind, integrated onto an elevated platform.
