PlayablelO International Design Competition Wraps This Weekend

PlayablelO International Design Competition has been an intriguing and exhausting experience, but I think I can say it has been a success. The idea was to get designers around the world who do not normally think about designing for play to do so. We will end up with a unique playspace for Woodruff Park, a few do-it-yourself manuals for building your own playspace, and a conceptual design to encourage the real designers of the 22+ mile Atlanta BeltLine to incorporate play into their master plan.

The winners will be announced this weekend, but here are a few of the semifinalists in different categories:

We will have an online exhibit after the competition is over so that everyone can enjoy the entries.

Play Champions of the Year

There just aren't enough words to thank the folks at Landscape Structures for all they are doing to make creative play happen for the children of Atlanta. 

LSI took the new playground at Woodruff Park off of the drawing board and made it come alive. They made the PlayChastain Exploratorium happen for the families and children of north Atlanta. 

Landscape Structures has gone above and beyond and their efforts are greatly appreciated. 

Congratulations to LSI, ATOP's Play Champions of the Year 2012!
