Joy. Pride. Excitement. Surprise. Wonder. Desirable emotions evoked during play. With emotions as a starting point, my project is about re-designing a playground that is engaging for children, to provide a multi-sensory experience. With the increasing rates of obesity, myopia and small families, the playground is designed in the hope of creating an area that is fun, interesting and engaging, to encourage children in physical and social play instead of solitary computer games. I also desire for the playground to be a break away from the regular rigid structures to a form that is more organic and playful. I believe that environments affect our activities and as play can be partially defined as unconstrained movement, flowing organic forms would be more suitable.
