“Carve” is a landscape architecture, engineering and industrial design practice that was established in Amsterdam, NL by Elger Blitz and Mark van der Eng in 1997.
The company specialises in a wide range of facilities that benefits the younger population, they generally design urban recreational playgrounds, parks, school grounds, skateparks and installations which include play equipment, street furniture, boundary solutions and other sports and gaming facilities.
In 2010 “Purple Pleasure” was the answer to the local populations need for an outdoor space to congregate, play and leave a noticeable statement on their surrounding landscape. As the name suggests, the space is coated in a vibrant and noticeable shade of purple, the features situated around the space are sculpted in such a way to provide limitless possibilities of use, all sculpted features are smooth in order to convey a sense of harmlessness to its users, some include coping edges for improved skateboarding utilisation. The centre of the area is open, providing ample space for activities such as football and basketball to take place in amongst the sculpted perimeter, acting somewhat like a unique area for sport spectating.
