100 Architects-Magma Flow Public Space

 

마그마 플로우는 중국 저장성에서 두번째로 인구가 많은 도시인 닝보의 항구 도시에 새로 지어진 상업 및 주거 지역의 보행자 거리의 도시 활성화를 촉진한다. 마그마 광장에서 볼 수 있는 기능 중에는 그늘진 캐노피 아래에 여러 개의 좌석과 휴식 공간이 있으며 마작 및 틱택토 테이블과 성인을 위한 라운지 공간이 잇다. 아이들의 즐거움과 오락을 위해 놀이터도 갖추고 있다. 전체적으로 이 제안은 새로운 상업 및 주거 개발 내에서 도시의 매력과 엔터테이먼트 핫스팟 역할을 하는 공공 공간을 만든다.

Magma Flow is a stimulating urban activation of a pedestrian street from a newly built commercial and residential area in the port city of Ningbo, the second-most populous city in Zhejiang Province, China.

 

One of the most characteristic features of this place is the presence of grand stairs that serve as pedestrian access to the open second floor of the commercial street. In order to activate this pedestrian junction and turn it into an eventful and eye-catching public space, colonizing the stairs extending and detaching the proposal from the horizontal plane of the floor was early identified as a key action to gain visibility, and from which the rest of the proposal could be articulated.

 

Thus, what before were just simple stairs to access the second floor, is now a volcano of public activity by inserting several amphitheaters at different levels, providing the stairs with platforms for hanging out and resting; shading structures mimicking the violent eruptive process, while providing shadow to the new resting areas; and even some slides resembling the erupted lava going down the hill.

 

To continue with the narrative on the rest of the space, a huge stain of erupted magma razes the ground level with color and playful functions for kids and adults alike, generating a very eye-catching multifunctional plaza right at the pedestrian junction. The flow of magma creates an intense & vivid circuit of events and spaces arising by its side.

 

Among the functions that we can find on the magma plaza, there are several seatings and resting areas located under shadowing canopies, as well as mahjong & tic-tac-toe tables and a lounge area for adults. For the joy & entertainment of kids, we equipped the space with a swing pergola, seesaws, slides, hills and bumps, tunnels, punching bags & challenging obstacles along the circuit.

 

Altogether, the proposal creates an incandescent public space that acts as an urban attractor and entertainment hotspot within the new commercial and residential development.
