creative collaboration requires the right kind of environment. that is what the playground offers.

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?

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.
