Two wonderful projects by David Garcia Studios, which operates as an "experimental architectural platform...with an "open door" philosophy, where objectives and partnerships are established from project to project."
Mobius (a form with which I have been fascinated since 3rd grade math) was developed in collaboration with artist Pernille Worsøe and designer Martin Larsen...
"The circular shape functions not only as a playground with a rich formal and textural vocabulary, but as a unifying element for the school, where it becomes a meeting point for the institution and a symbolic gesture for curiosity."
A more fully realized playspace at a kindergarten in Drejens, Denmark uses precision placement of color against natural wood to striking effect. And do I see a mirror in the middle of that parabola?
"Shifts in scale and direction, and variations in space, from intimate to shared and open, define the social qualities of the interventions. But it is the simplicity of the compositions, which allow for open interpretations, that has received so many compliments and have proven to be an instant hit with children."
The installation was carried out in collaboration with artist Pernille Worsøe and designer Martin Larsen, and manufactured (with beautiful precision!) by boat builders Årøsund Bådværft.
