Project Description
Leisure area for children in Majorca, there
incorporating a traditional toy concept: the Kaleidoscope.
An element there have played multiple generations by observing their optical effects,
and decided to build a large scale, so that children can interact with them.
Variables such as external elements, natural light and the children on the move generated a set
of effects of light and reflections, so there are modifying the space and creating multiple worlds
where children are inside.
The sobriety of the ancient track of squash from rational and neutral hub, is altered by a large
element that passes through all the space: the Kaleidoscope, whose hexagonal section of 9
meters in length and 2 meters high, allows children walk inside and interact with all the space,
forming part of the own kaleidoscopic effect perceiving a strange sensation of weightlessness
on the outdoor park which is oriented.
The main instance that wraps the Kaleidoscope is characterized by its pink hue, color whose
relaxed excitement power feelings, making it another element for the creation of this dream-like
space that is generated. All of this was helped by a rand
