Create a website#AppleCastle is an art playhouse for children that takes its shape from series of stories of flying structures. The project was awarded the Huizinga Peace Prize by the Canadian Museum for Human Rights in Winnipeg, and the UNI Editor's Choice Prize for the best concept for child play area in Warsaw, Poland
General view
Structure components that support the trajectory such as a verge, wooden surfaces, stone step and sun-sculpture uprising above the slope support the scenario of the play and let children feel safe and happy, reflecting the flows of such elements as wind and the sun, water and sand in the imaginary worlds of their play
Canon
The parts of the construction were born as a product of many years of reflection on the interest of children to play no-childish things. The structure was built using the local community paraphernalia: the lath fence as a wall, the well ring as a portal, the slope of the lawn serves as the stairs with garden-membrane house as a pinnacle on its top
Elements
The way children invade the Castle unfold to them the variety in haptic and visual story: entering the shadowed space of the well ring with its rough surface, they step on the soft sand, warmed by the sun, climbing the juicy green slope inside the small orchard-house, that lets them finish a round sliding from the shiny plate of the ramp
Concept
The Castle is imaginary nomadic, floating around with a telltale to children from different parts of the world and landing near an apple tree. These favored fruits grow almost everywhere so an apple tree was conceived as a fairy portal to multiple objects all over the world
