Trekroner School playground, Stig L. Andersson, Roskilde, Denmark, 2002










Also found at vulgare is the Trekroner School Playground by Stig L. Andersson architects, with a wading pool that looks like a giant mud puddle. I'm particularly intrigued by the way its shallow sides allow for running and unstructured play, as pictured. Do any of you landscape architect types know what this is made of? I assume a drain is provided for cleaning...

"The school playground is conceived as a ‘garden of knowledge’ framed by the school buildings which have no corridors, so to get from one block to another everyone has to go outside and feel the weather and the changes of nature."
