Do you recognize any parks by their architectural elements? ??? Even with all the excitement around our 18th Pecha Kucha event last week, modus associate architect Michael Pope snuck off to Jonesboro, Arkansas, for the annual Arkansas Recreation & Parks Association conference and tradeshow. While there, Michael presented a park planning educational session titled Architecture as Art: Park Buildings That Contribute to the Experience of Place. We all know that parks can inspire and engage the community, but Michael asserts that architectural elements should transform parks into immersive art experiences and that the architecture itself can contribute to the park's memorable identity and character. "We all value and understand the significant physical, mental, and social benefits that parks bring to our communities. Using the architectural elements inherent in park facilities as art pieces enhances these benefits and brings added value to the park by creating a heightened sense of place." - Michael Pope Our parks and recreation adventures continue next week as our team travels to Atlanta for the 2024 National Recreation and Park Association Annual Conference!

What a great article ? Some interesting insights into how we should all be thinking about our 'play spaces'. As developers we have a responsibility to make sure we think about the needs, wants and desires of the community we are creating, so why not become innovators and visionaries?! ??♀?
In celebration of #parksweek2024, we're highlighting the innovators shaping our parks and public spaces. ?? Our first feature is an interview with Meghan Talarowski, PLA, ASLA, CPSI a renowned public space practitioner and the visionary behind Studio Ludo. With degrees in architecture and landscape architecture, Meghan, a certified playground safety inspector, has been instrumental in shaping parks across the United States since 2008. Here are our top 3 takeaways: ? Play evolves beyond childhood, and as designers, it's our responsibility to support and enhance play in public spaces. ? Swings remain universally popular across all ages, and building larger ones (for 30 people!) draws a diverse crowd. ? Playgrounds aren't just for children; half of the users are all ages. We need to start prioritising intergenerational design. Explore Meghan's insights, her journey, and Studio Ludo's innovative work in our Q&A.

Designing with Purpose: Post-Production Studios goes beyond aesthetics; it's a purpose-driven, functional, contemporary vision of a workspace that recognises the benefits of immersion in nature. Our ‘Pioneer Nature’ method focuses on a nature-forward approach, and this is perfectly exemplified at Post-Production Studios. We have loved sharing this World Architecture Festival project spotlight - follow us to stay tuned for our next WAF project reveal! #Architectureanddesign #PioneerNature #atelierarchitectureanddesign #architectureandnature #architecturalrenders

PROJECT | THE LIGHTHOUSE ? In the creation of The Lighthouse, we have conceived a space where fantasy and imagination intertwine with the essence of the sea and its stories. Inspired by nautical architectures, sea creatures and myths surrounding the ocean, we have given shape to a lighthouse turned into a playground. Located in the heart of Diagonal Mar, The Lighthouse not only aims to be a place of entertainment, but also to offer a complete experience, beyond the simple act of playing, where each visit becomes a journey into the unknown. The Lighthouse invites little adventurers to conquer its heights. Through an internal climb, they can reach the top and slide down the thrilling slide that winds its way down. But this park is not just a physical challenge, it is also a portal to imaginary worlds, where every corner is steeped in stories to be discovered. Every detail has been carefully designed to stimulate children's creativity and curiosity; every element of The Lighthouse invites you to immerse yourself in a world of fantasy. The Lighthouse is not just a playground; it is a beacon of adventure, a beacon of imagination and a beacon of fun in the vast ocean of possibilities that is childhood.

Lilium Tower in Warsaw, Poland Visualisations by VA-ARTS LLC Architectural design: APA Wojciechowski Sp. z o.o. for Golden Star Group. ? Skyscrapers: Expanding Possibilities or Changing Horizons? Every time I walk through a city of towering skyscrapers, I feel that familiar mix of awe and curiosity. ?? These structures push the boundaries of what we can build, but they also raise a big question—are they expanding how we see and use space, or are they cutting off our connection to the open world around us? On one hand, skyscrapers symbolize progress and innovation. ?? They create vertical space where horizontal space is limited, allowing cities to grow and evolve in ways we never thought possible. But on the other, do they change the way we connect to the environment? Drop your thoughts in the comments, and if this post made you think about how cities shape us, don’t forget to like it! ?? Let’s spark a conversation about how architecture influences our experience of space.?? #Architecture #Skyscrapers #UrbanPlanning #DesignDebate #CityLife #RealEstate #CGArtists #InnovationInDesign

Steps beyond their fundamental function of connecting vertical levels can be integrated as social and interactive design elements to foster engagement, interaction, and a sense of community. They can act as: ??Gathering Spaces ??Architectural Focal Points ??Visual and Spatial Interest In our project, Sona University Centre and Library Block, we have created a stepped casual seating from wood. The tiered or elevated steps act as reading nooks or discussion zones, offering patrons unique and comfortable spaces for individual study or group conversations. At IMK Architects, we believe steps are a valuable design element that can enhance the space's functionality and support a diverse range of activities, ultimately contributing to a vibrant and engaging environment. #IMKArchiects #Steps #SocialInteractions #DesignElement #Architecture

The quality of the #openspaces is almost more important for the city than the buildings themselves. It is the space where people spend time and come together. If this in-between space has no quality, if people don't feel comfortable in public spaces, then no urban district will emerge. For us as #architects, the spaces that promote social exchange and encounters are important, regardless of the functions that bring people to the place.

Architecture significantly influences human behavior by shaping the way we interact with different spaces. When in a hospital or museum, people tend to be quieter and more subdued, whereas in parks or shopping malls, they are more lively and energetic. This variation is due to architectural design, which subtly guides our actions and behaviors. Architecture creates environments that inspire behavior suited to the space, providing experiences that shape our responses. Studying psychology, logic, and philosophy helps architects understand human behavior deeply, enabling them to design spaces that effectively influence and enhance human experiences through elements like scale, thermal comfort, color, natural light, acoustics, airflow, greenery, and odor. #Architecture #HumanBehavior #DesignPsychology #BuiltEnvironment #SpaceDesign #ArchitecturalInfluence #BehavioralDesign #HumanExperience
