The post about the crochet playground constructions of Toshiko Horiuchi MacAdam is one of the most popular ever here at Playscapes (second only to the Puckelball Pitch in page views).
It has been a bit difficult to find information on Toshiko's work, as most of the locations are in Japan. But the MacAdams have recently launched their own site with more information about their unique playscapes, which they call NetPlayWorks...you can now see a comprehensive list of locations, as well as previously unavailable photos of each, a small selection of which are seen below. Oh, the eye candy...don't you feel happy just looking at these!
UPDATE: For now, as of July 5, the above link to the MacAdam's site isn't working...it may have been too much traffic. I'll keep you posted.
UPDATED UPDATE: The MacAdam's are now back online, see your crochet playgrounds here!
Really magical. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteWhat an experience for the children (and adults) this would be! I would love to be in there.
It reminds me of an Ernest Neto exhibition called ' The Edges of The World' shown at the Haywood Gallery in London in 2010?

What inspiring useful art. I love the repetition of circles and use of colours. And greetings for Kiribati (middle of the Pacific ocean between Australia and Hawaii !)
ReplyDeleteSuch wonderful inspiration! I wish they had such creative playgrounds here in Los Angeles. Thank you for your blog - it's just lovely. BTW, the link to the MacAdams' site doesn't seem to be working...not sure if it's just me, but I would love to see their site if you can fix the link! Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love!!!
