COLOUR SPLASH is a playscape that transforms in different weathers, where children can experience splashes of colours in the sun and splashes of water in the rain. The weather affects play. On a bright sunny day, children come out to play. But when the sky turns grey, children run away. Hence, we wanted to create a playscape that could adapt to the different weathers.
Our key structure is a panel that reveals coloured shadows under the sun and also serves as a shelter when it rains.
When it begins to rain, children can hide under the leaf shelters and play with the water.
Inspired by the form of a leaf, the shelters are slightly curved in the centre and arranged in descending height in order to effectively capture a larger surface area of rain water to be stored for play in the day, enabling children to play regardless of weather.
The leaf shelters are arranged in descending height to facilitate the collection of water. Water is channelled from the leaf shelters and is collected into the spiral puddle.
