About Hi Ladders High Pavijon

Hi Ladders High është një pavijon i ndërtuar në një kamp verior të një shkolle fillore në rrethin Luotian, provinca Hubei, Kinë. Struktura përbëhet nga njëzet shkallë të pavarura prej druri, të prera dhe të lëmuara nga bredhi kinez (China fir). Çdo shkallë është e qëndrueshme dhe ka një kënd anësor të rregullueshëm, duke mundësuar kështu shumë kombinime hapësinore. Fëmijë pa trajnim arkitekturor morën pjesë në të gjithë procesin e projektimit dhe ndërtimit. Objekteve të zakonshme rurale, si shkallët, mbulesat transparente të tavolinave dhe kartoni, u janë dhënë funksione të reja. Pavijoni ofron një hapësirë të hapur për lojëra dhe aktivitete të kampit.

Production Technology
The architects and children collectively made Hi Ladders High into a stage for a three-act space drama where events such as a carnival or camp closing ceremony take place. The children interact with Hi Ladders High not only by playing games in the structure, but also by making changes to it through their creation.
As an indeterminate building, the blank part of Hi Ladders High can only be filled by its users, that is, the children of the construction camp. The children proposed over a dozen ideas for Hi Ladders High. One of them even sketched 15 designs all by himself.
Design Challenge
Kids designed and built those pavilion all by themselves. The most important thing is safety. The cost was only 1000 dollars. All the main materials for Hi Ladders High are objects common in the country, such as wooden ladders, transparent tablecloths and cardboards. But this time, these common objects are given completely different functions through their construction.
Research
Reyner Banham proposed the concept of 'an indeterminate participatory open ended situation' in which you could create space suited to what you are going to do next. As a relatively stable open-ended structure, Hi Ladders High provides a place of variable spatial forms. Without preset functions, it could trigger or respond to events happening inside. It changes in indeterminate ways over time, continually manifesting new properties.
Inspiration
In recent years, lots of kids in mountain villages are left behind to their older grandparents. They are called left-behind children. Architects want to use architecture as a medium to help children grow, and show a new world to kids - working in factory is not the only choice in the future.
Hi Ladders High was set up to provides a place of variable spatial forms, it could be designed and built all by kids. Common things such as wooden ladders, transparent tablecloths are given completely different functions through their construction. Therefore, the children have the chance to view them from a brand-new perspective, and try to be an architect or artist.
Project Duration
Tanghe Primary School in Luotian County, Hubei Province, China
Operation Flow
Hi Ladders High consists of twenty independent wooden ladders. This kind of ladder is one of the most common and easily accessible tools in China’s rural areas. Its main body is cut or polished from China fir. Since each ladder has a completely independent and relatively stable structure with a highly adjustable angle of inclination, these ladders present plenty of possibilities of spatial combination. Even children without professional architectural training could be involved in the whole process of designing and building.
