GHD Woodhead 作品 「Bubup Nairm 兒童中心」

如果去過墨爾本的St Kilda，一定忘不了吹著海風悠閒地逛著海邊市集的喜悅，還有整排露天桌椅的餐廳區。如何才能把這閒情逸致的環境氛圍融入兒童中心的建築風格呢？澳洲的建築師事務所GHD Woodhead如何在菲利浦海港市（City of Port Philip）的委託下設計出一個活潑又色彩豐富的兒童中心─「Bubup Nairm Children's Centre」。

早在1938年，St Kilda地區便開始執行完善的孩童照顧計劃，而當時所成立的兒童中心，同時成為當地社區的一處交流空間。因此，在日益增加的孩童照顧與家庭交流的需求下，才又重新設計這間兒童中心。在該地區重整的規劃下，也新增了社區的活動設施，並有效地連結了其他的社區福利設施。

兒童中心基地位於菲利浦海港市議會大樓、歷史教堂及地段昂貴的遊樂場之間。在空間的因素下，事務所將兒童中心規劃成L型空間。位於三叉路口的入口設計也非常具特色，呼應著三叉路口而做出了三角形的橘色天花板，利用鋼管和混凝土拼湊出相當活潑的樓梯入口直上二樓，讓人從入口處就能感受到輕鬆且多彩的氛圍。不論在使用上及視覺上，讓兒童中心與社區產生更緊密的互動氛圍。

在多功能使用的概念下，兒童中心設計了許多可讓社區活動及家長使用的空間。事務所特地將會議室、協調室及多功能活動區等房間，設計於一樓的入口處；而二樓一進門是家庭室、管理室、新手父母室及多功能活動區等空間，而孩童的活動則分佈在一樓與二樓區的室外區，避免遊戲吵鬧聲影響到室內活動的進行。

Bubup Nairm兒童中心的取名相當有趣，其實「Bubup」就是當地海灣原住民Boon Wurrung話語中的兒童，而「Nairm」則是菲利浦海港市的意思，以「菲利浦海港市的孩童」來為兒童中心命名是最合適不過了。

GHD Woodhead事務所表示，Bubup Nairm兒童中心以「多感知」的概念呼應四周的自然環境，創造出能刺激孩童與家長們身心靈為設計導向的建築。建築物內多變的光線變化、色彩及能實際觸摸的材料體驗來鼓勵與激發學習。白天時走在兒童中心內，不但處處可看見光影的交錯變化（真的要感謝St Kilda地區長年充足的日光），室內外也可看見大量的木建材使用，讓人感覺兒童中心溫暖而親切，其實這也是事務所在此建案中想呈現的永續建築概念。隨活動需求而變化的空間，則是在多功能原則下的彈性設計。在整合性的設計下，兒童中心為該社區持續提供家庭所需的服務。經過事務所事前的研究與協調，相信Bubup Nairm兒童中心已成為了澳洲兒童中心的設計典範及社區活動中心。

GHD Woodhead-Bubup Nairm Children’s Centre, St Kilda

The City of Port Philip council commissioned GHD Woodhead to design the new integrated childcare and community hub to service the growing needs of the children and families in the surrounding community. The site located at 171 Chapel Street, St Kilda has a strong history in providing childcare to the community with a Baby Health Centre first been established on the site at in 1938.

In 1971 a new Children’s Centre and Maternal & Child Health Centre was erected on the same site, which remained until of GHD Woodhead engagement for the redevelopment of 171 Chapel Street.

The existing childcare centre was demolished with the site revitalised to provide more effective links with adjacent community amenities, increasing the community facilities on site, the childcare places offered and family services, based on local demand.

The new ‘L-shape’ facility is nestled between the imposing City of Port Philip council chambers, a historic church and expansive playing fields. Yet, the dynamic angled entrance off Carlisle Street provides an identifiable, welcoming and accessible entry experience – increasing physical and visual access and encouraging community use and interaction.

The GHD Woodhead design provides a flexible approach to community use, with multi-use rooms and venues alongside child care, children’s health and parenting facilities which move with the needs of the community.

The facility is a multi-sensorial built form and natural environment aimed at stimulating the minds and bodies of children and their families. The building makes use of varied light, colour, and tactile material experiences to encourage and inspire exploration and learning.
Throughout the design process the project team focused on:
•The use of sensory and sustainable materials and construction methods
•Multi-function and adaptability – flexible spaces which respond to the needs of the users and the community
•Sanctuary – a facility which provides a secure, safe and comfortable haven for learning
Through effective research and collaboration, the resulting design creates a benchmark for childcare facilities and an exciting environment for community nucleus.
After wide consultation the name Bubup Nairm was accepted by the City of Port Phillip Council. Bubup is local Aboriginal Boon Wurrung meaning children and Nairm is Port Phillip Bay. i.e. “ Children of Port Philip Bay”.

This centre is based on a model of integration which brings together at a local level, various programs in a seamless service to ensure better coordination and simpler access for all families, providing a welcoming and enriching place that nurtures and supports children and families offering such facilities as:
•116 No. licensed children’s services places with generous outdoor spaces
•3 No. Maternal and child health services
•2 No. dedicated Playgroup Rooms
•2 Dedicated Spaces for playgroups
•New parent groups
•Immunisation services
•Early childhood intervention services
•Family services
•Multi-purpose room for community use
•Outdoor Playgroup Spaces

An integrated service response of this nature supports consistent and timely intervention for families, children and young people, particularly those most in need.
