Tree of Life 1
The Tree of Life… is the source of terrestrial fertility and life. Human life is descended from it; its fruit confers everlasting life.
To bring all lives together, the concept of the Tree of Life aligns with Lappset’s 3-Generation idea. To translate this metaphoric meaning into a reality, the Tree of Life Playground transforms a 20x20m flat land into a multi-functional terrain that contains traditional playground elements such as a slide, distinctive manmade landforms, innovative interactive devices and an artificial Tree of Life. The Tree of Life Playground aims to provide fun, leisure and happiness for all: people of all age, race and gender, and with distinct personalities, different lifestyle and physical capacities. It also blurs the boundaries between a traditional playground for children, a garden for elderly and an urban park for teenagers and adults to hangout and exercise.
The Tree of Life Playground is consisted of a variety of landscape elements, which include wooden terraces, a grass slope, and sandy spots. It is a terrain that provides multiple options, enabling children to invent their own game and adults to relax in their own way. It is a perfect landscape to play tag as well as lying down and take a nap. Freedom is maximized by the landscape variety and thus activities of different nature can be performed side by side under various degrees of social interaction and privacy. Physical activities such as running, climbing and dancing can be performed while others are day-dreaming, reading, resting, chatting, and taking a nap at wall niches and mid-air platforms. Group of different sizes may scatter in the playground such as playing hide-and-seek, or they may concentrate in one location such as playing with the interactive LED wall, dancing at the Tree of Life, having fun at the sand beds, and even having a yoga class at the wooden terraces.
