Infrastructure for leisure time
playground for all - an infrastructure of leisureArchitectural Design The project will design a community park located in the middle of the city. Combining the functions of a local character and a park, it envisions how the new urban infrastructure will evolve in the context of the increasing privatization of urban land and the use of more and more public spaces for real estate. Based on the participants' research on their own cities, combined with their reflections on the relationship between people and architecture in the 2020s, this project will design a project that is between architecture and landscape, infrastructure and art installation. 【Proposal Tutor】

Whether it's Aldo van Eyck's reflections on urbanism in the post-World War II Netherlands, or Isamu Noguchi's vision of a playground in the United States that is a cross between sculpture and landscape, the public spaces of the 20th century focused on social well-being and family structures, and sought to bring modernist ideas of society, family, aesthetics, and economics into everyday life.
Today, when social housing is no longer mainstream, and the real estate industry dominates urban development, cities around the world are privatizing public spaces. China's mainstream gated community excludes non-residents from the fence, and new public spaces such as New York's Highline and Qinhuangdao's Araya have become real estate developers' magnets for urban development.
In the 2020 era, people's need for air, body and social, open public spaces such as parks has once again become the focus of life. How can public spaces once again become the infrastructure of communities in the context of the increasing privatization of urban land? 
diller scofidio + renfro. the highline, section.[Project Objectives].
The project requires students to design a community park of up to 10,000 square meters. Students will study the relationship between the city and the site and the needs of the community, and finalize 1-2 core programs (including landscape, swimming pool, garden, community garden, playground, fitness facilities, etc.) based on the research, and provide infrastructure such as public health.
The project required construction-led interventions such as paving, roofing, height differences, materials, etc.
