Kid’s playground
Come back to nature Thesis design | Personal project Location: Lea Marston Lakes, Birmingham City, UK | 2019 Software: Autocad, Illustrator, Sketchup, Photoshop, Lumion, Adobe sketching, Physical 3D model. Seemore: https://issuu.com/trinh.tran/docs/kid_play_ground_work_book The idea came from the different kinds of natural elements and environment, namely “water, sand, and upland forest” to provide diverse experience and connections with nature for children while playing on the site. Besides that, each zone has been targeted with a specific colour, finishing materials and plants. The proposal was also taken into account the typology of the site - “ mountain adventure project” as well as facilitating activities inside and outside (passing through the site).
