I'm late getting to this one, but WIRED magazine featured "
The Future of Playgrounds" as a speculative scenario in its FOUND series last month. The winning design team members were Anonymous, Ryan Flake, jgombarcik, and Scott. Aaron Rowe was the writer, Daniel Salo the photographer and Joel McKendry designed the blueprint. They seem to see the future as a magnified version of today: safety signage has morphed into a full legal disclamer, the playground is thoroughly 'branded', including at the required sterilization dip tank and the increasing sedentary grown-ups have consigned their strollers to an autonomous track. A grim vision (though tongue-in-cheek, I know). What's yours? Where will playgrounds be in 2024?
