FIRM  RDG Planning & Design

PHOTOGRAPHER  RDG Planning & Design

The PLAY exhibit is structured around Dr. Stuart Brown’s research into play, exploring his five types of play and outlining how each type of play is critical at all stages of life. Exhibit visitors begin their PLAY experience by first visiting the Bow Truss Gallery before moving through a collection of individual artist installations in subsequent galleries. Through various height extrusions and material finishes, users are able to put on a stage play, construct objects, climb and explore, have a conversation, and solve puzzles.

Jury Notes: Built on a low budget, there is a sheer playfulness to this project that completely transforms an anonymous space.
