The notion of free play allows for diverse groups of children to meet and play, facilitating integration between children of different economic and ethnic backgrounds and making uniquely diverse social spaces. This, coupled with a collective form of architecture and design constructed around notions of play and social interaction set within an ecologically sensitive environment makes the adventure playground a model for a totally radical and extremely valuable form of public space.
That is why we believe that the idea of free play and collective creativity can be extended beyond a children’s playground to teenagers and adults, creating a place were people of different ages and backgrounds can feel free, creative and relaxed and the same time learn about recycling and composting. An area were the equipment and facilities present are also invented and/or created by the future users and have no fixed destination, allowing maximum flexibility.
To make possible that the activities of the park can also be conducted during the winter months, geodesic domes have been designed, that will provide the necessary shelter. The geodesic dome was chosen for its high sustainability and great flexibility. It is in fact light, easy to assemble and disassemble if necessary (in case of program changes over the years), easy to heat thanks to the fact that it is transparent and it has a minimal constructive impact on the ground.
