Hypothesis/Design Solution

The proposed design solution consists of two parts:

  • A terraced playscape
  • Interactive elements incorporated into the playscape

Adding terraces to the landscape would enable the users to interact on various levels and possibly carry out imaginative play activities. These tiers, while a basic addition, have very few constraints associated with them; therefore making play activities open-ended and multi-dimensional.

Incorporating interactive elements into the playscape may either facilitate constructive play or be used to initialize sociodramatic play activities. Constructive play may involve sand play and/or other artistic media. Sociodramatic play may involve direct physical interaction with a landscaped feature (e.g. boulder or a nook).
