Brain-Stimulating Playgrounds

This Colorful Playground Aims to Evoke Kids' Curiosity & Creativity

— September 29, 2015 — Art & Design
Design firm Crossboundaries created this delightful and vibrantly colorful playground for children. Titled 'Family Box Qingdao,' this colorful playground is a two-storey structure that encourages kids to get active and enjoy the process of learning.

The Family Box Qingdao, located in China, is the sixth brand of the Family Box designs. The idea is to encourage kids to stimulate their brains through color, exercise and educational experiences as "early childhood education progresses rapidly in China."

In order to make learning a bit more fun for children, this design incorporates a swimming pool, classrooms and open concept cafeterias and play areas. The bright green color scheme is undeniably the main attraction of this facility. With various rooms and activities, there is bound to be something intriguing to each child that will aid in the process of high education.
Trend Themes
1. Brain-stimulating Playgrounds - The trend of designing playgrounds to stimulate children's curiosity and promote learning through play can lead to new innovations in education technology and recreational equipment design.
2. Colorful Learning Environments - The trend of using vibrant colors in learning environments can disrupt conventional schools, leading to new interior design methods and innovative educational tools and technologies.
3. Open-concept Play Areas - With the rise of open-concept play areas in educational facilities, there is an opportunity for designing multi-functional and adaptable spaces that can cater to different learning needs and encourage collaborative learning.
Industry Implications

2. Interior Design - The trend of colorful and education-focused interior design can lead to new opportunities in designing recreational and learning spaces beyond schools, such as museums and public libraries.
3. Recreation Equipment - The design of playground equipment can be disrupted by incorporating new sensory and educational features that can enhance children's play experiences and encourage lifelong learning.
