spaces
The zones in the playground reflect interactivity, mobility and flexibility in its seating and working options and can be used for hosting workshops, pop-ups, classes and studio sessions. The three dedicated zones enable users to empathize, brainstorm, ideate, prototype and test ideas and can be made available upon booking.
The fourth zone is the Social Zone, which includes a lounge and a making area that provides quick access to soft prototyping tools. Have you read the SOP for using the playground?
Zone 01 is specifically designed for group-based activities with desks and chairs that provide a seating posture comfortable enough for use for extended periods of time. This zone is equipped with a multimedia trolley, a resource cart for prototyping supplies, and movable multi-purpose boards that are designed such that they have a white-board on one side, soft board on the other, and storage space in the middle. This zone offers a stimulating environment for all its inhabitants.
Zone 02 offers spatial and operational flexibility with its portable and stackable multipurpose boxes, multiple ottomans and a large sofa. With far more customizability, this zone encourages its inhabitants to push, pull, and drag furniture to make the space their own. Comes equipped with a multimedia trolley, a resource cart for crafts and supplies and our multi-purpose boards on wheels (white-board, soft board, and storage).
Zone 03 features standing (movable) desks and stools designed specifically to facilitate making and prototyping activities. This zone comes equipped with a multimedia trolley, resource cart with quick access to soft prototyping tools and mobile multi-purpose boards that have a white-board on one side, soft board on the other, and storage space in the middle.
materials
The playground is equipped with a huge variety of tools that facilitate ideation and prototyping activities, enabling users to carry out sketching, modeling, cutting, and joining. We also have sewing machines, hammers, a plotter and a 3D printer. A major goal of the playground is to remove barriers between various design and making facilities on campus.
