The Fold
Community playground that mobilizes children’s perceptions with landform
The Folds is a community playground that mobilizes children’s perceptions with landform, it is designed with the notion of returning to the basics, through folding of spaces. We deliberately minimize the use of playground equipment. We believe that the folding landform can encourage children to perceive the space with their hands and feet. Children can run, climb, play Hide and Seek, and decide how to have fun by themselves. We hope that this space will not be bound by function or program, with less purpose and more instinct.
