July August Heat / DI Bernhard Gruber

DI Bernhard Gruber has devised a creative proposal for a new typology of playground systems for harsh weather climates such as Tel-Aviv Israel. Read more about this conditioned micro climate playground and additional images of the project after the break.

Busy life means busy parents. We want to use the limited time we have with our children to give them a real feeling of warmth and security. After spending their day in in a closed class room or sitting at home in front of the computer we must do something radical to remind them that there is more to life than shopping and Internet. There is no better solution than to take them back to our roots, the memories we have from when we were children, before the instant culture took control over our life.  The “Keep cool pool” playground offers kids all the benefits of outdoor activities, such as running, sliding, swinging, climbing, playing in the sand box etc. While minimizing the negative impact of hard weather conditions as they appear in the months of July and August all around Israel.
