Trying to keep it positive and inspiring especially after the disappointing outcome of the referendum from the UK...
We love what architectural studio Assemble conceived with artist Simon Terrill, The Brutalist Playground—because it brings together some of our favorite subject matters: kids, play, architecture, and the powers of the imagination.
"Designed for the Architecture Gallery at the RIBA, the Brutalist Playground consisted of full size fragments of three distinctive London housing estates: Churchill Gardens in Pimlico, the Brownfield Estate in Poplar, and the Brunel Estate in Paddington. Assemble recast these concrete and steel playground structures in reconstituted foam in order to allow people to consider their formal characteristics separately from their materiality, and in doing so allow them to be reappraised as places for play."
