It is also supposed to be a repair of disturbed senses and sensory deprivation as well as communication on the architecture-recipient line. #Urbandesigncompetition #Conceptarchitecturecompetition

“Temporary Playground For A Permanent Place” is a proposal for sensory play for children to freely explore their environment and foster resilience and confidence. The design responds to the site’s natural climate and physicality. It seeks to provide a feeling of safety in an otherwise challenging and unstable environment. # Concept Architecture Competition
