A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
This thesis seeks to understand children’s role in the built environment and how we can further develop cities to foster children’s engagement through play and care, focusing on the scale of the child and what is needed for their development through childhood. The project proposal is a playscape with two bigger structures in Dnipro, Ukraine, in a residential district called Peremoha. The new structures aim to act as mediators where the children play between the residential buildings, schools, and playgrounds with which they are usually affiliated. This proposal is not just about creating a playspace in Peremoha but about forwarding children and shedding light on how we can integrate children in the future, where the district can become a learning ground for children’s placemaking in the city.
