The Object in its Playroom 

The playground is an environment for imaginative freedom and empowerment of a sublime mind — where learning and play are interchangeable actions. Through design of objective and ambiguous play sculptures as a means to redefine a child's learning environment, complexities in the act of play embed themselves within the educational building. As boundaries soften, adaptive variability and potentiation increase and object parts become coordinated into spontaneous action. The discourse between object, projection, and child become reliant within the community of play-rooms, where a ‘room’ is scaleless. Objects perform within the catalogue of scalelessness to open possibilities for environmental indeterminacies and discoveries throughout the urban context and returns imaginative ownership to the individual and the collective.
