Project Overview: Design and construction of playground canopy complex at International School
Complex project playground canopy at an international school is a comprehensive architectural solution, designed to create safe, multifunctional and inspiring outdoor spaces for students. The project includes a variety of roofs with different forms and materials, optimized for specific areas such as sports fields, playgrounds and rest areas, to enhance the quality of facilities and educational experience.
- Category: Canopy complex for playgrounds, sports fields and public areas
- Structure: Multi-shape tensile membrane (dome, sail, umbrella)
- Main materials: High quality PVDF stretch film, anti-corrosion steel structure
- Safety standards: Design complies with safety principles for school environments, especially children's play areas.
Technical Requirements Analysis & Project Context
Designing a canopy for a school environment requires balancing many technical, safety and educational factors. The core requirements set for the project include:
- Safety comes first: All structures must be designed to eliminate potential risks. Poles and cable anchor points must be located appropriately, away from major movement areas and have shielding and protection solutions to ensure collision safety.
- Suitable for use: Canopy design must be customized for each space. Sports areas need large, unobstructed spaces, while playgrounds need creative, thought-provoking forms.
- Sustainable and safe materials: Materials must be durable, long lasting, fire resistant and non-toxic, and comply with safety standards for products used in schools.
- Stimulate creativity and dynamism: Especially in playground areas, the design needs to use playful and dynamic shapes and colors to create an active learning and playing environment.
- Fast construction: The installation process needs to be optimized to minimize disruption to school teaching and learning activities.
Technical Solutions and Implementation Process
To meet these diverse requirements, Flexiiform has developed a comprehensive solution, combining the choice of high-tech materials and intelligent architectural design.
Technical Material Selection: PVDF Stretch Film
The material solution chosen is high-grade PVDF stretch film. Compared with traditional PVC, PVDF has outstanding technical advantages: high tensile strength, 15-20 year design life, slow fire resistance, and environmental friendliness. The PVDF coated surface is UV resistant, anti-fouling and self-cleaning under the influence of rain, which significantly reduces long-term maintenance costs and efforts.
Functional Architectural Design
Design solutions are customized for each area to optimize functionality and educational purposes:
– Sports field area: Use a large, seamless dome canopy in a solid color to ensure the space is unobstructed, has adequate clearance height, and is not distracting to physical activities.
– Children's playground area: Apply creative textures (petals, ripples) with bright colors to stimulate vision, creative thinking and create excitement for students.
– Rest area: Arrange compact umbrella-shaped canopies to cover outdoor tables and chairs, creating resting and interaction spots for students.
Safety Solutions in Design and Installation
Safety is built into the design from the start. Structural columns are strategically located away from the main activity area. Column bases and cable anchor points are rounded and covered with soft, shock-absorbing materials (rubber) to comply with international playground safety standards such as those of IPEMA (International Playground Equipment Manufacturers Association). This is the core element of the projects. architectural stretch canvas in educational environment
Results and Performance Evaluation
Combination playground canopy Once completed, it has brought a comprehensive upgrade to the school's outdoor space:
- About functions and utilities: Provide multi-purpose covered spaces, allowing extracurricular, physical and recreational activities to take place in all weather conditions.
- About safety: Ensuring a maximum safe play environment for students through carefully calculated design and material solutions.
- About educational environment: Create engaging, creative outdoor spaces that contribute to a holistic approach to education, encouraging student movement and interaction.
- About operating efficiency: Using durable, low-maintenance materials helps schools optimize long-term facility maintenance and operating costs.
