A Criança e a Invenção de seu Espaço

Abstract

Since 1977, I have been woorking on the design of play-equipments for public spaces. The resulting space usually develops into a mix of stage settings, fun faires, circuses and popular feasts. As a sculptress and designer, I attempt to transform the traditional toy into a ludic - sculpture, which invites to play, stimulating children’s criativity and imagination. Another context, closer to the language of works of art, is created through the production of unusual forms, which transcends the monologue of utilitarian objets. This article is the result of the refletion on four profects relating context design, production and use of public spaces
