This project proposes “personality traits” as its main play area zoning strategy, in order to break the age boundaries in traditional play spaces. With bright colors as the major palette, the new playscape utilizes dynamic topographic changes, simple flexible components, smart play equipment and sensory planting design to reshape the existing site. The design encourages intergenerational users to explore themselves according to their personal preferences, and uncover more possibilities regardless of age.
