Cool Idea: Play in Public

Sep 5 2008 - 3:00pm

We may not remember rocking away in bouncy seats [1] as infants, but I'm sure we all remember playing on swing sets [2] as kids. In either case, was it ever not fun? I think not. So, why are Trix just for kids? And why should play be relegated just to playgrounds and backyards? I think adults should get a piece of the fun and games, and play should be accepted in public, and apparently so does British industrial design student Bruno Taylor [3].The renegade playground builder has decided that it's about time we bring play back into public space [4]. He has created a project which incorporates incidental play in the public realm, including a public bench that bounces, for all to use, and the installation of swings into existing bus stops. Is that rad or what? To see a video of Taylor's swing being installed guerrilla-style into a bus stop, .
