PROJECT 1 : RE-PLAY - CHILDREN'S OUTDOOR PLAYSCAPE

​

Task One: Initiating the exploration of ‘Leisure and Architecture’, Project 1 deals with the basic action of ‘play’ and leisure at the smallest scale through the understanding of repurposed materials and their relationship to the crafting of spaces for children experience. Students will be required to design Re-Play - children's outdoor playscape, which is intended to showcase specific material(s) for a proposed set of activities. It is to develop awareness of environmental sustainability through the responsible and innovative use of reclaimable and repurposed materials in relation to user needs. The exploration of ‘play’ in this project will relate to the programmatic requirements in Project 2.

​

In a group of 3, students are to discuss and select the reusable materials to be repurposed for their design. In addition, each group is required to understand the needs a child aged 7 to 12 that will constitute the ‘user’ of the Playscape.
