Open Minds, Open Doors: The curation of space, from research to practice
With the design of a hybrid workshop cum walk-in space in which we present integrated and immersive approach to the curation of a play space as a learning place. Based on our experience we present an interactive play space where we invite teacher, parents and other stakeholders to learn from each other about play, the role of space and the affordances of materials. Throughout the day we present provocations for discussions in which we use a reflective approach to share thoughts, expand our mindsets, and create visions about play in the 21st century.
