Analysis - rst impressions

A small space with good potential for an interesting garden.

Not very much vegetation to work with aside from a non-descript bush and a large treeoff site on the eastern edge.

It felt very lifeless but this could have been due to the onsite construction and a veryrainy day.

The surrounding buildings seem overpowering almost - but in

retrospect this is good for monitoring the young children.

Analysis - access points

current

The two plans an the right show current and proposedaccess points to the garden.

The proposed being once the new build on the oldcaretakers house is complete.

There will be one new entrance from the double doorsof the new build.

The entrance on the north side through the wooden fence isone that could be widened should the fence be removed.

The entrance on the eastern side of the house could berestricted with a lockable gate to ensure children do notleave the garden and unwanted visitiors do not enter.

Smallbuilding

The garden is connected closely tothe three surrounding schoolbuildings on the south side, north east

and northern end.

The residential blocks on the easternside are approximately 21 metersaway from the garden so should notsuffer too much from noise from thegarden.

This corner of the garden is also theonly area that is not under the shadowof a building and while exposed inwinter months, is sheltered by the treeon the outskirts of the property the restof the year.

Aims

-to create a soniferous garden for 2-5 year olds that is a fun and safelearning environment.

-the space will offer exibility, providing place for inter-play and also quiet con

templation, for children and adults.

Objectives

-the garden proposal will feature various natural and d igital elements that surpriseand stimulate with movement and sound.

-there will be a mixture of surface textures, hard and soft, withgathering places, seating and a sheltered den.

-planting kept to a minimum to keep maintenance costs down.-level changes will be created with onsite cut and ll.

p r e c e d e n t

Proposal 1: natural water

The jumping fountain addsa playful feature to thegarden, inviting the user tochase the stream.

Each water jet generates a con-guration of precisely cut water jets that disappear in a small catchopening with pin-point prediction.

The water can be manipulatedinto a continuous arc that stands inthe air or a water jet segment.

Since it only requires a small open-ing in the ground and a tiny poolof water, any potential risks withwater and 2-5 year olds is minimal .

Proposal 2: interactive water

p r e c e d e n t

The following studiesrepresent the possibilitiesin creating a kinetic digitalcatalyst for social interac-tion.

Each node has the ability tochange colour and create soundwhilst encouraging the user tointeract with the others.

The system consists of interactiveposition tracking with a pressureand heat sensitive monitoringsystem.

An overhead projector relays theimage of the pond onto theinteractive oor surface.

Proposal 3: greenery

p r e c e d e n t

Changes in topography andlevels are important for nerualdevelopment in young children.

Their play spaces should always includea variation of soft and hard landscap-ing with challenging spaces for stepping,

balancing and climbing.

The moss pit is a space of mossysquares of earth with slight changes inlevels .

There is minimal risk as the surface is softand can also be used as an area adultscould relax, converse or watch over their children.

The animation to the right shows anexample of the space.

Proposal 4: interactive sound

p r e c e d e n t

This is an interactive soundmachine for children and adults.

A sensor within the pipe reacts tomovement and a sound is emitted.

Continuing with the theme of

interactivity, it is a fun addition to thesound garden, and can entertainchildren and adults.

It does not require an instrument to play,simply moving ones hand over the pipeopening will create a sound.

Different sounds could also beprogrammed to play.

Scroll over the coloured spheres torelease a different sound.

Proposal 5: kinetic sound

p r e c e d e n t

Jason bruges dado rail andDaan Roosegaardes dune 4.0are precedent for a responsive,kinetic sound installation.

The digigarden installation is suspend-ed and chime-like, responding to windmovements and human interaction.

Powered with solar technology and asmall internal battery, they are made ofbres with concealed speakers andsensors which react to wind and humanmovement.

The sounds they emit can be verysubtle, natural sounds, that t into thelandscape that they are a part of.

J i f t i speci cations


35/36

Many Jumping Jets can be synchronized to

achieve a choreographed display.

A popular variation on this concept is to have many jumping jets hidden in different plant-ers. The jets shoot, in sequence,from planter to planter, looking like leaping snakes.

LED lights with changing colours can also be included inthesystem to add a dynamic effect at night time.

Interactive pond technical details The interactive oor would work similiarly to touch screen technology.

A small amount of voltage is supplied to thefour corners of the interactive oor surface witha uniform electric eld.

A foot touches the oor and draws a minute

amount of current to the point of contact. The XY location of the point of contact is cal-culated by a controller and transmitted to aPC.
