Hello everybody!
my post will be short today (i am unexpectedly indisposed, accept my apologise). I described the location in a separate post - Research, Framework, Network - the Pocket Park in Ouagadougou
I maintain still the same idea of location. We are advancing with some technical intervention in the area to avoid flooding (it is kind of improvised, the townhall is rather passive (or overloaded with other priorities) - so we have put some earth and rammed it - to the place where we would like to install the “TiP” structures in June).
I am sketching some alternative urban furniture (playful permanent structures not necessarily considered as playgrounds) - I will send you pictures when possible.
The major feature of the design is that it should be resistant. The children in Ouagadougou are usually very energetic, their way of playing is really intense - the swings last year that we have installed are already broken. The design should be also simple and clear - not very sophisticate details or unusual modes of use… hmmm
Have a great day
