Bizarre Joints

The exploration of the architectural elements that composed these informal structures, led me to drawings of the joints that held the wooden logs together. The were improvised, but creative and functional, which motivated us to believe that any shape, inclination or transition in this structure was possible.

The result was the conceptual design of contemporary Cassone that served as a playground for children. A structure that grew vertically to make the architectural journey dynamic, and that used all the components of the original structures to make it playful, form hanging fishing nets to rest, to wooden panels to climb and logs to elevate, and finally, floating satellite platforms to jump to.
