The 2016 Sasaki Intern Charrette explored the future of play through research, site visits, design, and play itself. The intern team developed a vision to reactivate a portion of the Charles River park in Watertown with Groundswell, a series of interventions including an inventive playscape that promotes adventurous, intergenerational, and accessible play. In conjunction with site visioning, the group generated iterations of a full-scale prototype to test how the play structure could be adapted and replicated at other sites.
We are proud to present this work alongside
exhibitions that profile playscapes at Sasaki
Associates and the Design Museum Boston and to participate in a growing discussion of how design professionals can take a leading role in fostering play.
