A great conversation about the new ISO and a balanced approach to risk.

Always fun to see your designs pop up in new places! Our Arches Playground in Omaha w/ OJB was front in center in the new Landscape Structures Play Book. A great partnership that led to an amazing place to play for all ages! playlsi.com/en/view-playgr…

Thanks @civicgrit.bsky.social! Its definitely our favorite project to date...more coming soon :)

Sure, cherry blossoms are romantic, but have you tried a tandem swing? As swings get bigger and swoopier and stranger, they attract more than just kids. bloomberg.com/features/2024-…

Play doesn't stop after childhood, it just evolves. Lets design play for all! Our playground at FDR Park w/ WRT and Fairmount Park Conservancy is a perfect example.

Wow!!! So proud of the amazing 18 page spread in Landscape Architecture Magazine of our Arches Playground w/ @ojbla. So many thanks to the always impressive Dan Jost for a phenomenal feature. We need more play spaces that let kids and their grownups choose their own adventure!

Excited to read this!!

We designed the playscape at Moorestown Friends School to be habitat not just for kids, but for local wildlife too! So exciting to see that birds felt safe enough to nest in one of our kid nests :) W/ Metcalfe Architecture & Design, Moorestown Friends School

Yes and yes. Public space for people of all ages to be together and play, is essential infrastructure.

Loved seeing this article by the fabulous Alexandra Lange, showcasing not just skating, but stormwater too! Solving climate problems with play?? Yes!

Excited to see our Arches Playground with OJB featured in Dezeen! dezeen.com/2024/09/20/ojb…

We don't talk enough about how play supports our whole body....including our hidden senses. Play is not just about physical movement, but creating opportunities of joy, connection, and stimulation of our whole self, throughout life.

How can play affect climate change and build more resilient, happier communities? This is the question we are exploring in Albania with landscape architecture students from the University of Pennsylvania and our partner @qendra_marredhenie.

When you don’t plan it, but accidentally stumble upon a treehouse restaurant overlooking Koman Lake and the Albanian Alps, that also has swings and adorable cats. We are winning at travel studio! (@weitzman_landarch)

Its fun when colleagues are at conferences and our research pops up. Happy to see our National Study of Playgrounds findings supporting the development of better public spaces and proving why everyone needs a place to play! (w/ DesignPhiladelphia, Trust for Public Land)
