Overall section:
I have re-produced a playground through using many parts found in the Vitra Museum, such as the spiral staircase, which i have re-designed into a spiral slide, and the roofing which i have re-designed into a curved monkey bar, and a curved spider-web.
The playground is formed from numerous colours, consisting of mainly purple, yellow and blue. The use of numerous colours helps stimulate the children's imagination, which i believe is important in a playground. The monkey bars and spider web are important in a children's playground as it helps develop the child's upper-body. The playground is also constructed ontop of a grass environment, as it would help cushion a child's fall, and also allows them to run around the large space of grass.
The building serves as an indoor-sport function, which welcomes adults as well as children's into the playground.
Play Equipment section:
The play equipment as been built to be child-safe, such as the height between the equipments and the ground being low, and the ground being of grass, softening a child's fall. Windows are also found on en-closed equipments, allowing the children to be visible from outside.
The equipments also help the development of the child, mainly the muscle groups in the upper-body, through equipments such as the monkey bars, and the spiderweb. The spiderweb also tests the balance of the child, as the spiderweb is made from numerous ropes. The blocks of colours, as well as the different colours found on the play equipment, help stimulate the child's imagination, which is an important factor in a child's playground, as it helps them to enjoy and also play many different kinds of games in the playground.
Multi-functional centre:
The multi-functional centre serves as an indoor function, allowing sports like indoor soccer and indoor basketball to be played. The centre is inspired by the rear-end of the Vitra Museum, as well as the cross window, and the seat-like window. These windows have been applied to the roofing of the centre, creating a dynamic space, as well as allowing natural light to dominate the inside of the space, creating a natural space to the centre. The centre is a main attraction for adults, which is also an important factor of a playground, allowing both children and adults to interact with it.
