Architects, landscape designers, builders, gardeners and teachers
have all at some time been called upon to design a play area.
Unfortunately, this diversity has not resulted in a similar
diversity of design solutions for this very problematic task.
Despite a proliferation of 'how to' books on this subject,
playgrounds have remained virtually the same throughout the world
since their creation over a century ago. This is not a 'how to'
design book. Instead, based on thirty years' experience as a
specialist play area designer, Barbara Hendricks details a
radically new approach, applying cutting-edge thinking from child
development and child psychology to find innovative design
solutions, challenging the established notions of play provision.
Covering key sociological, public policy, environmental and design
issues, this book provides designers with an exploration of and
guide to, designing from a 'child's eye' view of the world.
Beautifully crafted and copiously illustrated with numerous
examples of recently designed playgrounds, this book is not only
stimulating and informative, but fun to read and seriously playful
in itself. This second edition brings the text up to date from 2001
to 2010 with added discussion about new ideas for play area designs
and what has not worked in the past decade.
