Carve：2015年，Carve和Playpoint赢得了新加坡樟宜机场开发项目中的冒险滑梯景点的投标，樟宜机场由Moshe Safdie建筑事务所设计。该景点位于新开发项目顶层的星空花园，包括一个购物商场、一个景点公园和一个花园，它们均位于1号航站楼前。在这个有顶篷的公园里，有超过1400棵树和棕榈将和其他景点一起构建起园内景观。通过这种方式，创造出极致的机场体验，吸引游客前来参观。

Carve：In 2015 Carve and Playpoint won a tender for an adventurous sliding attraction inside the Jewel Changi Airport development, designed by Moshe Safdie Architects. The attraction is located in the Canopy Park on the highest level of the new development, which includes a shopping mall, attraction park and a garden, all in front of Terminal 1. In this canopied park, more than 1400 trees and palms will be housed alongside many other attractions. Creating the ultimate airport experience, and convincing travellers to go through Singapore’s Changi airport instead of others.

Carve最初的设计概念是将游乐设施做成一个类似宝石形状的结构；滑道、楼梯和攀爬绳这些被雕琢过的部分展示了宝石内部的颜色。在这样的方式下，游乐场呈现出了双重性；宝石状的游乐设施内部藏着一个滑梯，在樟宜机场的第五层上保持着一种平衡感。

In Carve’s original concept, the playground was designed like a sculpture resembling a gemstone; with parts that are carved out – the slides, stairs and rope climbs – revealing the coloured interior of the gem. In this way the playground presents itself in duality; a gem balancing on the fifth ring of Jewel with a slide attraction hidden inside.

整个结构的外壳是可弯曲的镜面材料，在设计过程中，紧密相连的抛光钢壳包裹在支撑着入口平台的三个锥体的周围，一颗闪亮的宝石镶嵌在绿意盎然的公园之中。这是一个能吸引远处的人们走近的物体，其液态汞状的外壳借助了周围环境的动感和美学，引导并强调了对周身环境的关注，这样游客就可以体验到自身与周边环境在镜面里无限的、超现实的映像，而地面的橡胶图案旨在创造一个螺旋式的抽象反映，映射于游乐设施的表皮上。

At first the sinuous shell was designed with mirror tiling over the whole structure. During the design process with the client this manifested as a continuous and seamless polished steel skin wrapping around the three cones holding up the large access platform. A shiny jewel in the green forest valley of the park. It is an object that will attract people from afar. The shell, with its liquid mercury form, borrows the motion and aesthetic of its surroundings. It directs and accentuates focus on its surroundings so visitors can experience infinite and surreal reflections of themselves and their surroundings. The rubber patterning on the floor was even designed to create a spiraling abstract reflection in the shell of the playground.

滑梯上部的观景台是这个建筑综合体中视野最好的制高点，站在上面可以看到机场航站楼的内部景象，如此一来，游乐雕塑将成为大众乐于前往的打卡地和社交媒体的话题点。不仅如此，它也将邀请和吸引各个家庭不同年龄层的儿童到此展开冒险和游戏活动。孩子们在充满挑战的滑梯上爬上爬下，这种“哇”地一下滑过圆筒并在底部着陆的体验会让参与者欲罢不能。

The viewing deck of the playground will be the highest accessible point in the complex, giving a fantastic view of the entire interior of the airport terminal. Naturally this will make the playsculpture a crowdpleaser and social media magnet, but it will also invite and attract children of all ages and families for adventure and play. Going up and down the challenging slides, this “WOW” experience of sliding through the cones and landing at the bottom will make visitors come back time and time again.

游乐雕塑内部的亮黄色通道分别是四个滑道：一个亲子滑梯、一个坡度较陡的滑梯和两个玻璃覆盖的螺旋滑梯。滑梯的结构具有完整的双曲面钢表皮，弧形玻璃则用在了观景台的栏杆、螺旋滑梯的顶盖和最高锥体柱的双曲面盖子上。

The bright yellow inside of the playsculpture contains four slides; A family slide, a steep drop slide and two glass-covered spiral slides coming down from the highest point. The Discovery Slides structure has a complete double curved steel surface. Curved glass was used as balustrades, in the viewing floor, as spiralslide covers and on the double curved lid of the highest cone.

光纤灯布设在游乐设施周围的橡胶地面上、最高锥形柱的点光源上以及弧形玻璃栏杆周围的LED灯带上。观景台上也布设了空调，可以为在滑梯上玩耍的孩子们营造一个舒适的温度环境。

Fibre optic lights were integrated in the rubberized floor surrounding the structure, point lights in the highest cone and LED strips on the perimeter of the curved glass balustrade. Air-conditioning was also integrated into the sculpture’s viewing deck to provide a comfortable temperature when children are playing on the slides directly under the buildings roof.

“冒险滑梯”游乐场长16.7米，宽18米，平台的最高点距地面7.5米。这个设施是在世界上三个不同的地方建造和生产的，确实是一个非常复杂和独特的玩具雕塑，从概念设计到落地实现，整个项目花了两年多的时间才完成。

The Discovery Slides playground spans over 18 metres by 16.7 metres in length and stands at 7.5 metres high at the highest point of the platform. Built and produced in three different parts of the world it is indeed a very complex and unique playsculpture. From concept design to realisation, the project took over two years to complete.
