So being that a blog is highly public, I don't feel comfortable posting my actual design ideas or hand drawn plans (just in case some of you are a tad insane and try to steal :-P). However, here are a few images and spaces that have inspired me:
This image truly relates to my idea of an activity landscape indoors. However, it doesn't account for those who are physically disabled. I want to take the ideas of movement, play, interactions, and fun into a space that functions for physically disabled children without losing any of the qualities shown above.
One of my goals is to create different scales of space, one being a type of treehouse-esque space with different levels of inhabitation that houses activities like play and crafts.
Because there are two areas on the building where roof top gardens could be added, I am starting to research roof gardens and aspects that will cater to the physically disabled like container gardens where they can learn about growing their own food and where wheelchairs can pull up near and under.
Since one of my goals with this activity landscape is to stimulate movement, development, thought, fun, etc, I am starting to look at how pattern and light could stimulate the children without being overwhelming.
