Urban Playground
"Young children acquire most of their social behaviors through the act of playing. Thus the playground and the facilities therein stand quite important." says Alain Gilles with his proposal for an urban playground.
By: Alain Gilles
Culbuto: Up to four kids can shake the tree like structure and reap the benefits of their effort.
Most of the proposed construction requires easily accessible technology (metalwork, rotation molding, PUR foam, recycled rubber…), making it economically feasible. This is important, to make the playground a reality. And also accessible, to a larger economic cross-section of society.
Boulo Modulo: Big memory foam balls in which children can leave their imprints for a little while.
The various elements of the playground are designed to encourage communication and team work; at the same time the importance of being independent."
