Playground for urban cities by Alain Gilles
Playground for urban cities in 2015 is a a project by Alain Gilles, formerly working at Quinze and Milan and now opening his own studio.
Antzzz or the little community: Open, closed or linked structures replicate everyday social behaviors.
Culbuto:
Let all that positive energy out, as children need to unleash once in a while. Up to four kids can shake that tree like structure and reap the benefits of their effort.
Urban Jungle:
Hanging or walking between rubber vines. Playing hide and seek with their peers. Young children need to learn to go beyond their fears, to step into unknown territories.
Follow that Frog:
Society is a lot about behaving like other, and in a way following other people in their footsteps. Children can jump on one green lotus after the other as they light up the path taken by a virtual frog. Computer controlled LEDs are lit via bluetooth sensors thus defining a random path.
Boulo Modulo:
Big memory foam balls in which children can leave their imprints for a little while. By leaving their marks in, they will make the playground their, and be tempted to respect it a lot more.

The first one (the orange) is simply fantastic. A playful idea for a school of infants or for a park =)
