Play and work are often considered opposites. Play is for fun and work is an obligation. We see play as done for its own sake, for enjoyment, but it is also essential. Play is conducive to social interaction, creativity, emotional development and physical exercise. Play spaces become gathering spaces for the community, not just for children but also for their caretakers, the elderly and for those seeking space to relax or work out. This is particularly true for play spaces in high density environments where open space isn’t always available to all. High density cities struggle to allocate and equitably distribute sufficient amounts of play space for their residents. The studio will serve as a platform within which to develop radically new solutions for high density play space. As a departure point, we will set out to utilize pedestrian infrastructure in the form of footbridges as untapped opportunities for play. This suggests that areas typically used exclusively for transit allow for the juxtaposition of play areas. Built, managed and maintained by the Highways Department, footbridges in Hong Kong are never designed as more than crossings. In parallel, the Leisure and Cultural Services Dpt. (LCSD) in charge of swimming pools, parks and playgrounds is responsible for developing and managing areas solely dedicated to leisure. An occupiable pedestrian bridge intended for play suggests an overlap between the two.
