This project is inspired by the idea of approaching our city as a playground and exploring how architectural forms and sculptures can be deployed to encourage community engagement, promote physical literacy, develop strong connections with culture and improve mental health.

As a community we collaboratively came up with themes and ideas we wanted to bring to life in these sculptural forms. These ideas were generated as part of online consultation and our #CLUBHOUSE workshops.

With the help of Rich Holland and Bedir Bekar we have been able to bring these ideas to life in not only the physical realm but also in the metaverse.

By exploring how physical forms can be placed in different locations within (any) city we believe we can help to stimulate new conversations and approaches to how we interact with each other and our urban environments.

Treat these forms as mini stages, benches, play pieces… whatever you want them to be is what they are, that’s what makes them.

The physical forms have been made using cutting edge 3D printed concrete and are a world first. As part of this process we have been working with WEBER to understand and test the technology to create sculptures and innovate our approach to construction.

Enjoy!
