Area: N / A
The key directive was for a multi-sensory exploration of play within the precinct of a family garden. Guided by the professional advice / collaboration with an Occupational Therapist, the provision for play “skipped and hopped” away from the narrow imaginings of the proverbial “jungle gym” in the backyard and catapulted into a dynamic imaginarium.
The emergent sculptural compilation of play opportunities amounts to a blended integration with the landscape, offering different scales of opportunities of play. Playful in its diversity, materiality, extent, shape and size, the Playstation targets creative, connective, transformative, imaginative, sensory, gross-motor possibilities of play while maintaining an architectural sculptural undertone.
The station provides an inviting forum for solitary, parallel / cooperative play – a true playground for the whole child, at different times, at different stages, timeless in its appeal.
