Description
Design place to play for this school on a temporary location and a unique vision on education
Challenge
Temporary location with two areas:
A semi-public space forming the ‘facade’ of the school and the link with the neighborhood
Hardly any budgets for this part.
An enclosed schoolyard was designed more traditional.
Process
Dialogues about translating the educational vision into the outdoor play: children discovering their own play, no ready made play-elements. The school was open for experiments! E-bay became my best friend.
Result
A semi-public play landscape, with height differences, huge wooden cable spools, and railwaysleeper, inpiring children to their OWN play!
