PLAY! is a deep dive into the evolving culture of playground design, examining the spatial and social networks formed by urban playgrounds. As urban public spaces face increasing pressures from regulations and limited space, playgrounds risk fading into the background, despite their essential role in public life and social interaction.
Through a photo documentation of playgrounds across Rotterdam, PLAY! captures the dynamic environment of play, blending ideas, dreams, and innovation. Featuring curated conversations with playground designers, environmental experts, and urban thinkers, the book highlights progressive practices, material innovations, and the vital role of playgrounds in climate mitigation and nature-positive design.
This book sparks a conversation about the future of public play landscapes, focusing on their potential to restore nature, mitigate climate change, and foster cohesive social spaces in cities.
