Combined with our <a href=\"https:\/\/showroom.kaiser-kuehne.com\/product-category\/wasserspielanlagen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stainless steel water feature system<\/a> they become \u201emagic\u201c on every playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Copenhagen architectural office <a href=\"https:\/\/3xn.com\/project\/blue-planet?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">3XN<\/a> has been involved in the planning of the <strong>Blue Planet<\/strong> The company made a conscious decision to extend the building with a spacious water play landscape. The result is a fascinating water playground made of stainless steel, which Kaiser &amp; K\u00fchne realised together with its Danish partner and which blends in perfectly with the award-winning architecture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Blue Planet - the national aquarium of Denmark<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marvel at rays and sharks in the underwater tunnel, get active in the water playground with pumps and sluices or go on a discovery tour in the rainforest: In the <strong>National Aquarium Denmark - Den Bl\u00e5 Planet<\/strong> you won't be bored for a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Blue Planet is Denmark's largest and most modern aquarium and is considered the largest aquarium in Northern Europe. On an indoor area of around 10,000 m\u00b2 and an outdoor area of around 2,000 m\u00b2, visitors can experience thousands of aquatic animal species and a total of around seven million litres of water - right on the banks of the \u00d6resund in Kastrup near Copenhagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Architecturally, the building immediately catches the eye: like a gigantic whirlpool, it draws guests into its vortex-shaped floor plan and thus figuratively \u201eunder the surface of the water\u201c. Numerous awards - including the <strong>RIBA EU Architect Award<\/strong> and the \u201eBest Building\u201c award at the <strong>World Architecture Festival<\/strong> - emphasise the iconic character of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Water play landscape with clear shapes and stainless steel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The water playground is located directly in front of the entrance to the aquarium and is part of the outdoor area that surrounds the Blue Planet with water on all sides. The shimmering stainless steel play equipment echoes the look of the silver, diamond-shaped aluminium fa\u00e7ade and fits in perfectly with the urban location right by the sea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The water play landscape comprises several levels and water channels that open up in a fan shape towards the \u00d6resund. Children can control and change the water flow themselves using pumps, sluices, channels and basins. One <strong>Water spiral<\/strong> and others <a href=\"https:\/\/showroom.kaiser-kuehne.com\/product-category\/wasserspielgeraete\/\">Water play equipment<\/a> made of stainless steel make it possible to experience the element of water in different ways - without deep pools of water, but with a high level of movement and experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Blue Planet as a highly frequented tourist attraction, a particularly durable, robust and maintenance-friendly solution was crucial. The stainless steel appliances used are based on the high standards that we set with our <a href=\"https:\/\/kaiser-kuehne.com\/en\/quality-seal\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Quality seals<\/a> document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Architecture, location and playground in dialogue<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the very beginning, it was important to the Kaiser &amp; K\u00fchne design and architecture team that the water playground <strong>seamlessly and naturally into the architectural concept<\/strong> of the Blue Planet. The harbour with a view of the \u00d6resund, the spectacular shape of the building and the surrounding water basin around the aquarium create a harmonious overall picture, which is continued in the playground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201eWhen we plan a facility like this, the location is important to us first. The building here is incredibly fascinating for us because it picks up on the play theme of water with its structure and also gives our stainless steel material a place on the side with the aluminium fa\u00e7ade material,\u201c explains Wolfram Ziegenhorn from Kaiser &amp; K\u00fchne, whose team is responsible for the design of the play equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, the water playground, building and surroundings interact via their <strong>Play of colour and light<\/strong> together. The aluminium fa\u00e7ade reflects the daylight like a water surface, while the stainless steel equipment reflects light and colours in its own nuances. This creates an interplay in which the architecture, landscape and play equipment act like an orchestra - each element contributes its part to the overall sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The planning team utilised the natural slope towards the \u00d6resund to bring the theme of water to life with all the senses: The channels and play lines open up like a fan towards the coast and pick up on the central motif of the Blue Planet architecture - the water vortex. If you look closely, you will recognise the \u201ewater splashes\u201c of this whirlpool in the arrangement of the play elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Further information on the aquarium, the architecture and the outdoor facilities can be found on the official website of the <a href=\"https:\/\/denblaaplanet.dk\/en\/\">National Aquarium Denmark - Den Bl\u00e5 Planet<\/a> and the contribution to the <a href=\"https:\/\/denblaaplanet.dk\/vandlegeplads\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">Opening of the water playground<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wasser und Sand geh\u00f6ren zu den wichtigsten Ressourcen dieser Erde \u2013 und sie sind zugleich zwei der beliebtesten Spielmaterialien.
