Design Challenge 3

Design Challenge 3: Portable Playground

Sub-themes: Child-friendly Community Development

Design Assignment

The competition challenges participants to design a mobile playground unit for a community that should offer a variety of play spaces for preschool-age children (ages 2-5) and elementary-age children (ages 6-12). The proposed design should be geared towards the conditions in typical urban poor settlements in Metro Manila (i.e. SHEC community in Malibay, Pasay City).

Space Requirement

The total ground area that should be occupied by the playground should not exceed 100 square meters.

Judging Criteria

Criterion # 1: The design should provide adequate spaces for appropriate and safe play experiences of children and create opportunities for teaching children the value of environmental responsibility.

Criterion # 2: The playground unit should be mobile and transportable to other areas of available open space in a community.

Criterion # 3: The playground unit should be cost effective and should be built using sustainable construction materials and techniques. Designers should consider use of local materials, tools/equipment and labor and construction methods, durability and ease of maintenance and repair.

Criterion # 4: The design should be socio-culturally sensitive and affordable, has high possibility of being constructed by people’s organizations like SHEC.

Designers are asked to use the criteria listed as guidelines and should not be limited by these criteria in developing their designs. Entries will be judged based on these criteria and other considerations stemming from the jury’s background and experience.
