圣玛丽学校是印度Rajkot市的重要教育机构之一，拥有超过60年的丰富历史。学校拥有19000平方米的空地，专门用于学生的户外娱乐活动。

St. Mary’s School is one of the important educational institutions of Rajkot with a rich history spanning 60+ years. The School enjoys the luxury of an open ground of 19000 SQM dedicated purely to the students’ recreational activities.

▽项目概览

他们的新篮球场选址靠近现有的篮球场，以便同时进行训练。这个位置位于学校空地的东南角，东部边缘点缀着一排郁郁葱葱的树木。该场地通向西部边缘的广阔土地，而现有的篮球场位于北部边缘。

The location for their new basketball court was selected close to the already existing one so that simultaneous training sessions can be carried out. This location is at the south-east corner of the School’s open ground, with a line of lush trees dotting the eastern edge. The site opens to the vast ground on the western edge while the existing basketball court is on the northern edge.

▽项目区位

该项目内容非常简单，一个露天篮球场加上一圈外围座位。在研究了项目与周围的环境后，发现不应该将该设施与空地隔绝起来。设计师建议，这一新设施应将多用途场地的特点和活动纳入其中，在其外围三面设置座椅，并向露天场地开放。

The program was straightforward, an open-air basketball court with peripheral seating. After studying the context, it was observed that this facility should not act as an isolated island in the open ground. It was proposed that this new facility embraces the multipurpose ground’s character and activities, by having its peripheral seating only on three sides and opening itself to the open ground.

这一思路的具体实现方式如下；外围座椅设计成逐渐从地面升起的方式。座椅台阶以一种有趣的形式放置，从3000 x 600 x 300 MM的单个台阶开始，高度依次增加，直到有七个台阶交错排列。然后，该模块被镜像并垂直于第一个模块放置，这些模块的连接处被切割出来，以创建一个动态入口点。现在组合的L形模块再次被镜像到球场的另一侧，从而在三个侧面包围球场。

Taking this chain of thought further; the peripheral seating is devised in a way that it gradually rises from the ground. The seating steps are placed in a playful way starting from a single step of 3000 x 600 x 300 MM, leading to a staggered formation of seven steps increasing in height. This module is then mirrored and placed perpendicular to the first module, and the junction of these modules is carved out to create a dynamic entry point. The now combined L-shaped module is then mirrored to the other side of the court, thereby enveloping the court on three sides.

依照学校四栋房屋的颜色，为每个模块分配一种原色。这些颜色也遵循与形式相同的逻辑；第一步被指定为最浅的色调，随着高度的增加，颜色会越来越深，最高的一步呈现出纯原色。

Each module is assigned a primary colour, based on the colours of the School’s four Houses. These colours also follow the same logic as the form; the first step is assigned the lightest shade, and as the height increases, it gets darker, with the highest step being the pure prime colour.

主球场则由两种深浅的棕色组成，以区分不同的比赛区域，同时也与开阔地上尘土飞扬的棕色色调相匹配和融合。主球场周围的外围空间保持混凝土不变，以此作为棕色区域和原色区域之间的过渡区。

The main court is a combination of two shades of brown, to differentiate the playing zones, but also to match and merge with the dusty brown hue of the open ground. The peripheral space around the main court is left as exposed concrete, allowing it to act as a neutral differentiating belt between the browns and primary colours.

这种有趣而简单的组合形式受到了大家的欢迎；在上午的课间休息时间，学生们会爬上爬下的在上面玩耍；而在晚上，父母则坐在上面等待孩子完成训练。它还被用作学院之间比赛的非正式露天比赛场，以及板球和足球比赛的场地。它真正融入了多用途场地的开放特性，除了用作篮球场。

This playful yet simple assembly ensures that this new platform is frequented by all; during the mid-morning recess break, students use it to sit, play and climb; while in the evenings, parents use it to sit while waiting for their children to finish training. It is also used as an informal amphitheatre for inter-House competitions and as a pavilion for cricket and football matches. It has truly amalgamated itself to the open character of the multipurpose ground, apart from serving just as a basketball court.
