Playscapes: Gathering Perspectives on Play Playscapes is a small collection of questions and answers of students around the age of 18-21 and interviewed parents and their elementary-aged children in Providence about their experiences and perspectives around play.
Our project was centered around building a workbook that illustrates the current landscape of play across generations and a toolkit for parent and child to utilize in order to investigate it themselves. We hope the activity of imagining one’s ideal play environment will spark further shared communication about play between parent and child, while the creation of the publication will allow these stories to be shared and create a varied community around play.
Publication in collaboration with Nicole Ban and Lucia Li. Advised by Tycho Horan for Experimental Publishing.
