A timber play structure that reimagines traditional playground design for primary school children through an architectural lens. Made with sustinably sourced timber from Catalonia, this timber installation merges structural innovation with playfulness, creating a spatial experience that encourages exploration, creativity, and physical activity.
This project was designed and built by students at Valldaura Labs, part of the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC). Located within the Collserola Forest on the outskirts of Barcelona, Valldaura Labs is a self-sufficient campus dedicated to research and experimentation in ecological building and sustainable design.
As part of the Master’s in Advanced Ecological Buildings and Biocities (MAEBB), students live, work, and create in close connection with nature, utilizing local timber, computational design and digital fabrication technologies to craft projects that refelct ecological principles.
