Spring 2022 Arch 112

The Play Place project began with choosing a game play. I chose “One Tap Two Tap”, which consist of players sitting in a circle and tapping their hands according to the game rules.

To translate the data I collected from running the game, I took the circular graphs and made them linear with wooden sticks (P1). I then took the building logic of P1 and made a preliminary Play Structure (P2) that had no specific enviroment. I focused on stained glass and exploration.

The final assignment was a Play Pavillion that took into account its context, the St. Louis City Museum, and our client’s/classmate’s requests. I aimed to intigrate the eclectic and fun nature of the city musuem with a structure for braiding (my client’s request). I focused on the building technique I had developed in previous parts of the project and the stained glass of the Play Structure.
