Playground

Case Study 02:
A community play structure designed to provide youth with a dedicated space for play, socialization, and informal gathering. The origami-folded surfaces are constructed with mycelium-based panels that contribute to the filtration of airborne particulates, addressing environmental conditions while creating an engaging spatial experience. The intervention combines recreation and environmental performance, offering a space where young people can gather and play within a healthier outdoor environment.
