Red Swing, Theodore Ceraldi, New York City, 1971


One more, one more swing...if you watched the William Whyte Social Life of Small Urban Spaces video below you'll have noted the pop art, big red swing of Theodore Ceraldi, installed in 1971.  It sways on its cables just enough to be a swing, but not enough to keep it from being a bench, which is brilliant.

Still swinging at 777 Third Avenue, between E. 48th and 49th streets in NYC. [source]

    Hi, I do love this site as a new graduated landscape architect that has interest in play spaces and has a new baby!! So its private and professional at the same time :))

    I was wondering if you may announce (if you get to know them of course) design competitions regarding playscapes from all over the world. Or do you know any special site that one can follow??

    Thanks and good luck and all the best from Germany.
