Carve imagined a small, vibrant village that is scaled down to a child’s size, designed to spark curiosity in both young and adults. From the outset, our team took a multi-age approach to the design, resulting in a one-of-a kind play village built from clusters of hexagonal plateaus and towers, where kids can explore and move from one tower to the next in a winding maze.

In 2020, Carve was asked to design a play area in the historical Tophane Park. The exceptional setting, including a blend of ancient and contemporary structures such as the Ottoman baroque-style building, the Ottoman-style Mahmud-Han fountain and the modern museum and mall, quickly captivated and challenged our attention to create a playful as well as distinctive design.

In looking for a sculptural form that is attractive for all age groups and at the same time serving as a meeting place, Carve designed an organically shaped sculpture that incorporates various play functions. By arranging the various functions in one object, the space around it is divided into three zones, redefining its surroundings. Photo: Marleen Beek.
Biodiversity is essential to human health, economic prosperity, and well-being, yet it is alarmingly imperiled.

Climate change is also now a major driver for biodiversity loss and species will face greater threats with every degree of warming. Photo: Nancy Studio. Hassell

Traditional, or historic methods of stormwater management involve fast conveyance; runoff is transported rapidly through pipes into streams, rivers, and wetlands. And although these systems can be efficient, they are not resilient to large rainfall events where the volume of water entering the pipe and stream network can exceed a system’s designed capacity.

While many people have heard the term ‘landscape architecture’, misconceptions about the breadth/depth of the discipline and profession are common. People often default to thinking of landscape architecture as garden design and not wrongly; many very talented landscape architects design gardens. However, the field of landscape architecture is much larger than gardens alone, with many different avenues of theory and practice. Photo: Kongjian Yu, Turenscape
