Italian studio Carlo Ratti Associati and architect Italo Rota have designed a concept for a tower called Playscraper, which is a temporary structure that consists of eight tennis courts layered on top of each other.
The conceptual Playscraper rises 90 metres (300 feet) into the sky and has 5,500 square metres (60,000 square feet) of playing space.
“We liked the idea of creating a temporary structure that could easily be assembled and disassembled, while at the same time creating a new type of public space extending into the sky and unprecedented visual experiences for people in different cities,” Carlo Ratti Associati founder Carlo Ratti told Dezeen.
意大利工作室Carlo Ratti Associati和建築師Italo Rota設計了一個名為Playscraper的塔的概念，該塔是一個臨時結構，由八個相互疊置的網球場組成。
概念性的Playscraper爬到了90米（300英尺）的天空中，並擁有5,500平方米（60,000平方英尺）的遊戲空間。
“我們喜歡創建一個易於組裝和拆卸的臨時結構的想法，同時創建一種新型的公共空間，延伸到空中並為不同城市的人們提供前所未有的視覺體驗，” Carlo Ratti Associati創始人Carlo 拉蒂告訴德澤恩。
The concept, created for Italian sport and media company RCS Sport, uses a construction technology based on a lightweight, stainless-steel sandwich structure that was developed by the Broad Sustainable Building company (BSB).
“None of this would have been possible without Broad’s innovative technology of lightweight metal sandwiches – which we had already studied in detail while curating the Shenzhen Biennale last year,” Ratti explained.
Each of the eight boxes in the concept is designed to have a stand-alone tennis court, with the narrow sides of the box featuring transparent walls to give the players views of the surrounding landscape.
The long sides, meanwhile, have electronic facades for streaming the game being played, or other digital content, to onlookers.
該概念是為意大利體育和媒體公司RCS Sport創建的，使用了由Broad Sustainable Building公司（BSB）開發的基於輕型不銹鋼三明治結構的建築技術。
Ratti解釋說：“如果沒有Broad的輕質金屬三明治創新技術，這一切都是不可能的。去年，我們在策劃深圳雙年展時就已經對其進行了詳細研究。”
該概念的八個盒子中的每個盒子都設計有一個獨立的網球場，盒子的狹窄側面具有透明的牆壁，可讓玩家欣賞周圍景觀。
同時，長邊具有電子外觀，可將正在玩的遊戲或其他數字內容流式傳輸給旁觀者。
The courts in the proposal are stacked vertically using BSB’s B-Core slab structure. B-Core slabs are prefabricated and consist of two stainless steel plates held together with an array of extremely thin core tubes.
BSB claims the construction of B-Core slab buildings is at least 10 times faster than the construction of regular buildings.
“I find the technology that is being developed by BROAD in China extremely interesting,” Ratti said. “Most people have gotten to know it because of the many popular online videos of skyscrapers built in a handful days.”
“What I like about it is that it allows us to construct circular buildings, where everything including the structure can be reassembled or recycled,” he added.
While it’s just a concept for now, Ratti hopes the Playscraper building might be realised.
“RCS commissioned it to us as a concept to be built and I know that they have been looking at its financial feasibility in detail,” he said. “So I think that we stand a good chance to build it.”
Even if the building isn’t ever completed, coming up with these kinds of concepts are a designer’s “responsibility”, according to Ratti.
“I like the definition of design as an exploration into different futures,” Ratti said. “As such, I think that it is our responsibility as designers to constantly introduce new ideas, even if at times they are just speculative.”
He also believes that these ideas can stimulate public debate and create healthy feedback loops in society.
“As we recently wrote together with Daan Roosegarde, even fantastical concepts at times become self-fulfilling prophecies – they start circulating, aggregate support and become reality,” he said.
The studio also recently unveiled a design for compostable markers to be used with its drawing robot Scribit, and completed MEET, a centre for digital culture in Milan.
提案中的法院使用BSB的B-Core平板結構垂直堆疊。 B型鐵心預製板是預製的，由兩個不銹鋼板和一系列極細的鐵心管固定在一起。
BSB聲稱B核心板式建築的建造速度比常規建築的建造速度至少快10倍。
拉蒂說：“我發現百羅德在中國開發的技術非常有趣。” “大多數人已經了解了它，因為幾天之內就建立了許多受歡迎的摩天大樓在線視頻。”
他補充說：“我喜歡它的原因是它允許我們建造圓形建築物，其中包括結構在內的所有物品都可以重新組裝或回收。”
儘管這只是目前的概念，但拉蒂希望Playscraper大樓能夠實現。
他說：“ RCS委託它作為我們要建立的概念，我知道他們一直在詳細研究其財務可行性。” “因此，我認為我們有機會建造它。”
拉蒂說，即使這座建築從未完工，提出這些概念也是設計師的“責任”。
拉蒂說：“我喜歡將設計的定義視為對不同未來的探索。” “因此，我認為作為設計師，我們有責任不斷引入新想法，即使有時只是投機。”
他還認為，這些想法可以激發公眾辯論，並在社會中建立健康的反饋循環。
他說：“正如我們最近與戴安·羅斯加德（Daan Roosegarde）一起寫的那樣，甚至幻想的概念有時也會變成自我實現的預言–它們開始傳播，聚集支持並成為現實。”
該工作室最近還推出了一種可堆肥記號筆的設計，供其繪畫機器人Scribit使用，並完成了米蘭數字文化中心MEET的建設。
