TryPlay project, carried out by students of the Degree in Design, Irene Morillas, Maria Terrisse, and An Yi, and tutored by Miquel Espinet, was finalist at Premis Habitàcola 2017.
Premis Habitàcola, by ArquinFAD, were created in 1987, in order to promote the reflection about the new theoretical within the field of design and architecture, as well as discuss, along with the schools, about solutions and innovative points of view related concerning different topics of social interest, proposed in each meeting.
The topic chosen for these awards has always addressed relevant aspects for society as well as unsolved current issues. This edition presents a new reflection - which is too often ignored - about the role of design in schoolyards, which is simultaneously a space to play and learn, but also a space of freedom in which children establish social relationships in which conflicts such as the lack of gender equity arise.
TriPlay is an innovative proposal to change the structure of today's schoolyards. It is made up of modules that can be easily moved and assembled by students.
New ludic and pedagogical platforms can be created by putting the modules together. Thus, we can save schoolyards' problems by using simple pieces.
The strength of this proposal resides in its versatility, because it can be set in any type of schoolyard.
