The Diamond Spectrum Playground is deeply rooted in its industrial context, drawing inspiration from the surrounding site's history of diamond grinding factories. The conceptual foundation stems from the prismatic spectrum, the seven colors refracted through a diamond when struck by light. These hues are interpreted through two distinct tonalities: warm and cool.
This duality shapes the spatial composition of two interconnected play stations, each reflecting the emotional and physical qualities of its respective color palette and geometric expression. The Red Diamond play station features energetic, challenging terrain with steep gradients and dynamic forms that encourage vigorous, adventurous play. In contrast, the Blue Diamond zone offers a gentler, more contemplative experience through softer contours and slower movement, inviting reflection and imaginative interaction.
Physically, the two areas are connected by an elevated net tunnel above and a ground-level pathway below, which traces the full color spectrum—creating a continuous loop of play, learning, and spatial discovery.
Both zones are unified through a design language of crystalline geometries and gradual chromatic transitions. The study of light distribution through diamonds informs the spatial logic, while the use of angular forms and vibrant lines captures children’s attention. Equally important is the playground’s role in enhancing the visual identity of the surrounding community.
