RE-UN Bound

The design targets at a play for the refugee children, it emphasizes on how play can do a lot more. Thinking beyond the conventional defined way of play and looking for possibilities of how different activities can help a child develop their communication, collaboration, creativity and confidence were focused on. Play is a necessity!

Playducation

The built environment shapes everything about us – from our mental states to our physical well being – everything is connected to places we live in, even more so those which nurture us. The idea of play promoted in this module is that of “playducation” – to learn with play, more than just merely through it.

Reclaiming Childhood

Reconstituted Play

At the core of our project is the idea of creating an adaptable play landscape. The modular design fits into varying spatial arrangements ranging from linear to central gathering. We seek to give children the ability to physically transform their own environment with our design kit simply facilitating this exchange.
