2GAX Complex Morphologies

Toy Scale is a project that focuses on creating immersive and interactive landscape by altering the user’s perception of scale using playful objects. By manipulating the scale of toys that children play with, the project transforms the entire school into a big playground, giving us the illusion that we are part of the canvas in this fantasy world of toys.

Our project started with the scaling and meshing of toys to form playful chair like figures for children to play with. For our classroom designs, we continued using this design strategy to form creative spaces using toys such as enlarging balloon whales to create reading domes and big mattress to manipulate how users perceive themselves within our toy scape classrooms.

An ideal school in our imagination would be a place where students can run and play everywhere in the campus with smiles on face. Therefore, In this design, we enlarged and deform toys and clouds into didferent scale of chairs and buildings. The hard shape buildings are made to be softer so that the whole aatmosphere becomes mild, pleasant and cozy.

The material we used for the buildings is colorful precast terrazzo, we used the same material for the chairs and part of landscaping. So the color scheme of the whole site will look more coherent
