LEISURATOR
tm
a new approach at the sports field.
a performative and adaptive
vision of architecture in the realm of sports.
a transforming, responsive
field for contemporary sports and games_ unformalized, innovative, hybrid, to
engender improvisation. LEISURATOR tm is a design research project that provides
a spatial response to the urban sensibility of the skateboarder, the morphing
structure of today's games and challenge sports, the changing needs of recreation
of the fast-living city dweller. LEISURATOR tm - performative and adaptive leisure
generator field - provides a reconfigurable field that engenders a variety of
leisure, sport and improvisational activities. This field is programmed with
a set of variable configurations, the transformations of which offer emergent
conditions suggestive of alternate social organization and cultural dimensions
of game-like activities. Borrowing the urban sensibility of skateboarding culture,
the design of the structure is informed by the series of temporal sessions,
which by repetition over time will provide specific localization. The field
structure will respond in two ways to the users. First, the kinetic mechanism
will adapt to the existing programs considered as a timeline with environmental
parameters. This pre-defines numerous configurations which are inscribed as
latent performativities of the surface. Secondly, the adjacencies and relationship
in each of these configurations is to catalyze new way of using surfaces, walls
and edges of the field, providing both defined boundaries for existing leisure
activities (e.g., tennis, jogging, playground), surfaces for non-formalized
games (e.g., skating, casual play, etc.), and zones which allow the occupation
of space in a game-like manner. It is a trademark for sports architecture considered
as an extension to the equipment of the sports and moreover to the body of the
superhuman. The project is presented officially to public at open jury on 30
January 2003 at the Architectural Association, within the Responsive Environments
Agenda of the Design Research Laboratory.
