The role of the playground in schools is a question that invites reflection from both the fields of education and architecture. Historically, playgrounds have been viewed as spaces for recreation, rest, and breaks in the learning process, in contrast to classrooms, which are defined as the primary setting for pedagogical activity. This secondary status is being challenged by contemporary pedagogies, which recognize that learning processes occur everywhere. Consequently, it is essential to reflect on the architectural brief for school spaces, particularly regarding the playground as a significant site for education.
