Life is a game, also in urban design

The other day I was amazed to find this in the new street furniture from the park near my house. I did not know if it is a monument or a game, but I started to investigate and contacted those responsible for their choice. They sent me the explanation of all the possibilities that this stone offers. It is a size in granite, which has all the safety certifications, and its game value is to experiment with the dimensions and weight of the stone. The page of BDU, Barcelona Urban Design, shows many original and similar funny devices.

Let us think that our sense of space and time are governed by the dimensions of our body and its speed of movement. But in the world of recreational physics These parameters are transformed and it can be discovered, in a playful way, that matter and force are full of surprises. This huge rotating stone can be moved with enormous effort in a short time, but we can also make it turn faster and faster if we push it little by little, even with the little finger and it will go faster the more external the push point. Children, when they are such, investigate, and with this huge stone they can play with the inertia And his secrets

Playground games are no longer what they were. Little by little, the trends that are already common in Germany or in the Nordic countries are introduced in Spain, original children's games, full of possibilities and insurance. The discovery of the limits of our body or the forces of nature are not things that must be learned in the books, doing so exploring and experiencing is a magnificent and unforgettable way.
