THE NATURAL WATER CYCLE Spain

THE NATURAL WATER CYCLE Spain

This project, developed for the municipality of San Sebastiรกn de los Reyes, Madrid, has been inspired on natural water cycle, which is accurately reproduced through several elements of different nature, providing the area with a clear educational approach, bringing together both leisure and learning time for the youngest of the family.

THE NATURAL WATER CYCLE Spain

With the aim of adding value to the space, all play items have been endowed with a narrative content explaining natural water process. This natural process is developed in a closed loop scheme; all along the process, the quantity of water of the planet remains constant, what is known under the name of “hydrological cycle�.

For this project, we started with a hydrological scheme drawn on the rubber floor, from which all play equipment emerges, inspired on each phase of the cycle. In the different parts of the circular tour, we find different play elements designed for different age ranges, including challenges with different difficulty levels.

This way, each play structure matches each different phase of the hydrological scheme, which can also be explained through explanatory sign boards.
