Kindergarten Kekec, Arhitektura Jure Kotnik, Ljubljana Slovenia, 2011






 

The facade of a building is a tremendous, and often missed, opportunity to create playable space (see an exception, the previously blogged WOS 8).  Slovenian studio Arhitektura Jure Kotnik used rotating vertical shutters, painted in bright colours on one side and plain wood on the other, over a glazed facade for a kindergarten in Ljubljana.  The construction, which could easily be adapted as a playground feature, or part of a fence, used prefabricated wood and was built in just three days.   Absolutely brilliant.
