The AZCA Playground is a privately owned custom playground that is open to the public. The design aspires to employ architectural space, form and materials to render a stimulating play environment specific to the ergonomics and imaginations of the 2-5 year old user group.
The project is conceived as a dialectic conversation between two social forces, the cultures of risk and security. They both facilitate freedom, exploration and growth, but only in concert; a balance that is delicate and controversial.
Security provides the necessary degree of safety and comfort to encourage children to thrive and is rendered through compliance with the safety standards established by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission. Risk is the exposure to uncertainty and is rendered through the creative negotiation of those standards to provide children the opportunity to challenge their physical and psychological comfort zones.
