"Playgrounds for small children under the age of six should be placed in the vicinity of the flat dwellings.” (This provision applies to all tenement houses containing 8 families and more.) —Danmark, 1939

Key Characteristic: Everywhere, Natural Idea, Exploration.

Comparison: Everywhere Playground for children is common in Europe as necessity party in "people-friendly urban environment", for example in Berlin. Berlin Playground Distribution.png Berlin Playground Information.png

However the situation is total different to Chinese children. When I was a kid, there was still farm around where children can have fun. Now there are full of houses and from my perspective, there is no place to children. Comparing the maps between Berlin and my hometown(Kandun, Cixi, Zhejiang Province, China), what a pity! As a rough conclusion, there are main 4 "playgrounds" for children in China are 1.Adult Exercise Equipments in Public, 2.Big Theme Park for Children, 3.Temporary Inflatable Castle in Public, 4.Commercial Play Space in the Mall.

Natural Idea


Observation: Play with billboard.jpg The playground is not only for children, it is the meeting and relaxing point to everyone.

Experiment: "Communicating" with neighbourhood(children).

Creating a play "area".
