Playscape Project

First-year students of the Bahçeşehir University Faculty of Architecture and Design, Department of Interior Architecture and Environmental Design, carried out a PLAYSCAPE project at seven alternative sites in Yeldeğirmeni, within the scope of the INT-1002 Design Studies course and in collaboration with Tasarım Atölyesi Kadıköy (TAK).

In the project, which set out with the idea of producing a social structure and public interior space, students first carried out sensory mapping studies in Yeldeğirmeni. Following this work, aimed at strengthening their relationship with the context, they focused on designing a space for experiment and experience for children in the age groups they selected (2-6 | 6-10 | 10-14), focusing on the social, mental and physical needs of these groups.

20 projects selected from those produced in the course were presented at Tasarım Atölyesi Kadıköy on 23 March 2016. The projects will be exhibited at Tasarım Atölyesi Kadıköy until 7 April.
