PARKS AND PLAYGROUNDS

With a clear direction of utilising parks to distribute the parliament and with the idea of appealing to youth, I have started an investigation into parks and playgrounds with the aim of finding an appropriate architectural solution.
 During this investigation I found many interesting approaches to designing a space that invites participation from young people.

SOME EXAMPLES..

 
CARLTON PLAYGROUND, MELBOURNE 2000
Taylor Cullity Lethlean with Mary Jeavons Landscape Architects





NOGUCHI UN PLAYGROUND,  NEW YORK, PROPOSAL, 1952
Isamu Noguchi

CHILDREN’S PLAYGROUND, TAKINO HILLSIDE PARK, JAPAN, 2000



VAN CAMPENVAAT PLAYGROUND, HOLLAND,
Carve
 

SCULPTURAL PLAYGROUND, GERMANY 2011
Annabau
 



Having thought about these approaches and the brief at hand, I am very keen to consider further if there might be a way to design a solution that incorporates a playful approach or a way to invite interaction from young people...
