《群山》矗立於關埔國小中年級區的校園峽谷,以簡潔有力的結構系統創造平台懸空的飄浮感,在層層堆築向上的平台間創造不同的攀登情境,抽象的量體之間騰出留白的想像空間,由校園中靈活奔跑的姿態延續,從水平向穿梭奔跑之外提供了垂直上下的身體體驗;以山及樹林間的陽光作為整體色調搭配,使用自然質感材料如鋪面礫石及實木外飾面板,讓攀爬面的觸感更親合,使整體空間氛圍更協調自然。
橫過晃動的吊橋如越過溪流、爬桿上快速的滑落就像在樹藤上遊戲、與之相伴的扶手有如雲霧流動於量體之間、躲藏在洞穴間窺探天空、在不同塊面的軟硬之間爬行……《群山》在遊戲場中提供不同的難易度挑戰,透過每一次的遊玩時光,啓發孩子更多的身體潛能。
The installation towers above the campus canyon in the middle-grade area of the Guan-Pu Elementary School. It conveys a sense of floating with a structure as simple as powerful. Various postures of climbing unfold amid its layers of platforms. Its abstract volume is interspersed with empty spaces that inspire imaginations. Drawing from the students’ agile running on campus, this installation brings the students the corporeal experience of vertical movement apart from that of horizontal shuttling. Its overall tone comprises the colors of mountains and sunlight filtering through trees. To create a more congenial and natural atmosphere, the installation is made of materials with a natural texture, such as gravel paving and solid wood panels that render the tactile quality of the surface for climbing more appealing.
The students cross the wobbly suspension bridge as if they were crossing a stream. They slide rapidly down the pole as if they were playing on the vine. The accompanying handrails resemble clouds scudding through the volume. The students can go into hiding in the caves and peep at the sky, as well as climb on the soft and hard surfaces. This installation provides different levels of challenge in the playground, and the students’ physical potential is ergo unlocked through each play.
