InSPIRATIONS

Singapore Jewel Changi Airport
It has done acoustic treatment to reduce noise level to provide greater comfort and safety for visitors. Plants and trees were planted in the building to improve air quality and encourage sustainability.

Central Park Fountain and Ice Skating Loop
Design that looks like a map. Park with multi-usage that is built closely around residential and retail areas.

I like the amount of attraction the play area has and how it turns vehicles into play areas.

London's biggest play street
Personally I love the idea of play streets and am very encouraged to see them popping up more regularly. This is a form of opportunistic play than can be merged into everyday life and one that is enjoyed multi generational, it meets the requirements of two somewhat opposing clients- the young people that seek to play with whatever is at their disposal and the parent who wishes to appease these needs but must first conduct the ‘dull’ life admin which must be carried out on the highstreet. A monotony splashed with playful inspiration and opportunity.

The Hive Mind
I enjoy these installations because they are multi-purpose and TEMPORARY, we should not get lost in the belligerent mind set that infrastructure always works when set in concrete. It is playful and experimental which are attributes that reflect upon its use- yes it’s a hunk of scaffold that has been made into a sculptural archway, but to young mind it could be the corridor to another far away universe or the space between the tip of a wave and the sea. The real beauty in this design is that the components can be used for play today and to build a house tomorrow.

Drapers park - Waltham forest
Clearly I am not often a fan of structured play installations that tell a young mind how to play, which begs the question of why I would include a recreational play park within this piece… However, this playscape project I found fascinating due to its simplicity, there is no instruction manual to indicate how to use the landscaped meanders of humps, it is just there and there to play with. It indicated memories of rolling hills in the countryside right in the center of the capital which inspires multi-generational play. Again due to its placement it is opportunistic, right on the route to a local school it is not a case of a weekend visit when the weather is fair, it is an opportunity to play at least twice a day monday- friday in school time making it a pinnacle part of the young people’s day.
