A
playground is an isolated object.
Children often experience a disconnection from their parents in this area, which might be designed for the opposite purpose. From one perspective, while parents stand by, they chat, guard, play phone, or do nothing. Instead of merely providing a space for parental supervision, the playground could be reimagined to accommodate multiple generations, considering public spatial and architectural design features.
The playground fails to fully leverage the advantages of locating within the park. It remains disconnected from the natural elements, such as grass and trees surrounding it. Even within the confines of a highly controlled natural environment, there should be an effort to break free from rigid structures, allowing for flexibility and interaction between both humans and nature.
I document the nearby playground, focusing on capturing its vibrant details. However, my intention is not to highlight the brutality of these playground areas. Instead, I aspire that my exploration would be a source of inspiration for new playground designs. I believe that playgrounds should be thoughtfully designed, moving beyond a simplistic and utilitarian approach. It is essential to consider more than just superficial variations in colors and themes but to dive deeper into creating meaningful and engaging spaces for all kinds.
