Playland
Playland is an attempt to create a Self-Sufficient neighbourhood focusing on the public space for diverse users. The goal was to create a modern, comfortable space as well as to give an opportunity to citizens to be aware of an extremely significant issue - Energy. The vast majority of humans has no idea about its importance, so the aim of the project -“to teach� citizens through the game, to involve people to the Green Energy production process. Superblock was chosen as a site for the project. This area is currently one of the most important development plans in the city.

Playland
The existing empty space of the area has been used as a one platform. The concept was to interpret this platform as a flat. The flat consists of rooms that vary in sizes, levels and types of activity. A variety of tools is installed in every room which is able to produce energy due to the interaction with people. The producing Green Energy flows into the storage (central building), then to the surrounding buildings.

This system is based on the Smart Grid. The Smart Grid represents an unprecedented opportunity to move the energy industry into a new era of reliability, availability, and efficiency that will contribute to our economic and environmental health. The producing Green Energy flows into the storage, which is located in the old building and after that it is supplied to the surrounding buildings. All existing tools are connected with the Smart Grid. Every room has different tools according to diverse activities, however the installed tools differ in the potential of energy production.

Different parts of the platform are used differently during the day, to give all people a chance to be part of energy production. In the morning the most popular space is a garden (I). In the noon the most crowded place is the space for office workers. Afternoon the funniest place playground (II) is becoming alive. Children are also involved to the Energy process. In the evening citizens have an opportunity to watch a movie using the amphitheatre (III). I Garden
