Course: 1
Theme: playground
The playground is designed as a musical scenario. Eight towers symbolize eight emotions: joy, anxiety, excitement, curiosity, fear, embarrassment, boredom, and anger. Each tower transforms the terrain beneath it — raising it into a hill, sinking it into a tunnel, turning it into stairs, or creating a sharp drop-off.
The eight towers form spatial zones around them: jazz, rock, drum‑pop, techno, blues, reggae, folk, and hip‑hop. Each zone has its own sound: children don’t just play — they compose their own musical story as they move from one sonic universe to another.
The roof bounds the play space and sets its architectural rhythm. Its unusual shape “imprints” itself on the ground surface, creating a natural amphitheater.
