中央公园是纽约标志性的公共空间。这片城市中的自然吸引了来自全球的游客。中央公园夏季馆竞赛于不久前结束，主办方希望夏季馆能承办夏季多彩的文化娱乐活动，无论白天还是夜晚，这个和周边环境和谐共处的建筑都将成为游客必到之处。

来自纽约的建筑师Chang Kyu Lee和加州大学洛杉矶分校的学生Dokyung Kim合作提交的方案‘plaYform’获得了本次竞赛的二等奖。方案重新定义了线性建筑，简洁流畅的线条并没有打破建筑的整体感，方案看起来干脆利落。

Central Park Summer Pavilion Competition was open to international undergraduate and graduate students and recent graduate of architecture. The CPSP was envisioned as a meeting point for different cultural and leisure circuits, with the goal of using the same space for a broad range of daytime and nocturnal activities in a sustainable fashion that respects its surroundings. The idea was for it to become an obligatory stop for visitors to Central Park.

Chang Kyu Lee New York based architectural designer and Dokyung Kim from University of California, Los Angeles won the second prize on this competition with a project challenges definition of linear gesture. The ‘plaYform’ proposes a “space of experiences” – simply pushed-down a plaTform connects human and nature as a ‘plaYform’ at the same time a simple linear gesture defines a whole proposal that shows as an object.

A gigantic Central Park is the emblematic piece of urban break space in New York City. Central Park is the most visited park in the United States and holds numerous trees and species of animals. The park is a urban scale and a space that separates two urban fabric relationships.

‘plaYform’将成为大受欢迎的公共建筑，不同的娱乐需求和文化活动在这里相遇。夏冬季节的水上雪上活动、音乐节、露天电影、时尚发布会、咖啡馆、餐厅，这里似乎可以承办所有你能想象的活动。这里既是终点，又是探索世界的起点。建筑将人和自然用空间和活动连接起来，激发了整个场所的活力。

通过体块简单的推拉，建筑拉近了人与自然的关系，同时也打通了两个城市肌理的视觉和空间上的联系，南北向的水轴线与东西向的文化带在此交汇。同时‘plaYform’可旋转的顶棚为建筑带来了更多的可能性。当屋顶南北向延伸时，建筑连接延续着中央公园的水轴线。而当建筑旋转90度，成为了东西向时，则表示它将为居民们带来各式各样的文化休闲活动。旋转不仅仅是建筑形体上的变化，也代表着其功能的变化。五花八门的夏季活动让不同文化不同地区的人们愉快的共度夏季时光。比如，白天南北向的屋顶用作水滑梯，到了晚上，则摇身一变成为了东西向的T台。纽约的人们在建筑前面大片的早地上嬉戏玩闹。但只需要一个投影仪，这里立刻变成了露天电影院，人们三三两两的坐在草地上，看向化身为幕布的建筑立面。

A ‘plaYform’ is a place of great public destination; an exploration and a shelter. A ‘plaYform’ is also a point and a place that meets different leisure and cultural circuits (axis). The ‘plaYform’, therefore, is also a shelter from the world (inward) and a place of center to explore the world (outward). From daily uses to special events, the ‘plaYform’ accommodates various activities. Multipurpose ‘plaYform’ in the Central Park can accommodate events such as water (summer) / snow (winter) sliding, music festival, open air cinema, fashion show runway and restaurant with café. Thus, the project integrates existing communities and nature not only physical but also programmatic manner, and provides new space to rejuvenate the community and the everyday summer life of NYC neighborhoods.

The project ‘plaYform’ proposes a “space of experiences” – simply pushed-down a plaTform connects human and nature as a ‘plaYform’. The project opens up the visual and physical corridors between two urban fabric relationships: water axis (North to South of Central Park) and culture axis(West to East of Central Park). At the same time the ‘plaYform’ creates a smooth program transition from the rotation that provides opportunities for various programs.

The ‘plaYform’ is located between 81st and 82nd st and 6th and 7th ave. When it is positioned in north – south of Central Park, the plaYform represents water axis that connects water way of Central park and when it is positioned in south and west of Central Park, the plaYform represents culture axis that provides cultural programs to residents. Rotating the ‘plaYform’ is a gesture not only provides visual change but also offers different program. The project provides versatile summer public programs which attract visitors, blend diverse culture and neighbors. For example, when it is located in water axis it becomes place for water sliding(daytime), and when it relocated in culture axis it becomes stage, fashion runway (nighttime). The large green open space gives New Yorkers space to interact, play, relax, and gather. The open space is for large gatherings and the wall of this ‘plaYform’ becomes movie screen for open air cinema. plaYform invites people in all ages to experience different programs of curved surface.

▽ 不同的活动与建筑，activities and the architecture

‘plaYform’简洁的建筑形态拉近了人与自然的距离，丰富多彩的活动项目不断地吸引着大批游客的前来。生活和自然在这里和谐共处，相得益彰。

Creating a sustainable space from the simple architectural gesture is what we should pursuit, therefore, ‘plaYform’ that integrates human and nature with the culture programs create a great sustainable value.

‘PlayForm’ celebrates human and nature interaction through simple architectural gesture while maintaining as a place of great public destination.
