“I believe the most important factor when designing spaces for children is adding as much play value into a space as possible. Playgrounds in schools and communities are such an important resource for children’s learning, development, and social connections, that as a designer we want to provide a play space with the highest amount of play value. This means not just providing a design that looks great on paper or a design that looks good for adults, but one that offers an exciting, interesting space to explore and experience, one that functions and delivers as much as possible for its community.”
