Publisher's Synopsis

'PLAY!' is a reflection on the culture of playground design. Urban playgrounds form a vast, intricate spatial and social network. Increasingly designed from standards and regulations, and under pressure in the limited urban space, they tend to disappear into the background. Yet, they are also spaces where material innovation happens, that become a stage of new professional collaborations, and that carry so much hidden social, spatial, climate mitigation, and nature positive design potential. With a photo documentation of over 200 playgrounds across Rotterdam, 'PLAY!' records and reflects on the accumulated urban environment of play, an amalgamation of ideas, dreams, and attempts, annotated with insights from interviews with playground makers, designers, and urban thinkers.

Brasovul meu, acum! Nota 10

de andreea LIBRARIA QUINET | 31/08/2013 18:44

Fotografiile realizate de Eugen Andronic timp de 14 ani devin prin acest album ale tuturor. Nu mai este doar Brasovul lui, este Brasovul tuturor celor care se hotarasc sa achizitioneze cartea sau daca nu, macar sa-i rasfoiasca paginile. Aici sunt adunate fotografii cu o mare incarcatura afectiva, intrucat fotograful nostru este de-al locului. Ce este diferit? faptul ca nu regasesti doar locurile deja cunoscute sau strazile, cladirile intens promovate ci locuri pe care nu le stiu decat cei nascuti acolo. Zone periferice, cladiri cu fatade ce stau sa se prabuseasca si oameni care nu stau in cea mai buna lumina, nu au cele mai frumoase vesminte sau cele mai zambitoare fete. Oameni vechi si noi, locuri vechi si locuri noi dupa cum este structurat si albumul. Aceste lucruri il scot din banal si din comercial, devenind ceva aparte.
