Description

651 playground areas for children in Hong Kong exist according to the Hong Kong government report (2020). The majority of these playground designs follow fixed rules regarding their materiality, structure, formation, and functionality. There are only a few facilities which allow children to explore and learn by the investigation of play. My idea is to create a playground where children can discover and interact with the designed structure generating a performance of imaginative play. The project is inspired by the act of shadow play which tells a story through the configuration of shad- ow projections on a screen. The classic Chinese story ,Journey to the West’ will form the narrative for my playground design. The relationship between sun and structure by which the shadow creates the storyline will follow a sequence of how to play the game.
