Sketching

Expression

Collaboration

Abstract Play is a architecture project that focuses on connecting the community together. This project was created for an overgrown section of Lederman Park which is across from MGH and next to the Museum of Science. The idea was specifically built around the community and abstraction which gave many structures for this project. Nonetheless, the final project was a layout of the site and a close-up of one of the playground areas. The structures in the play area were based off of basic shapes so that the users could choose how to play on them without set rules. This brings a feeling of creativity and independence while also connecting the community.

In this studio, I focused on research and sketching. These included writing out multiple zoning diagrams for my site while also having sketches of each structure with measurements. For the zoning diagrams, we needed to research how people used the space and how it looked. While doing this project, I also had growth in my collaboration and expression. This increased both the amount of work we delegated to each member and how well we provided the feeling of creativity and community into our project. In the future these skills may come to use when I want to connect with the users or work with people I have never had a project with.
