Entrant: Erect Architecture, London Name of Building/Space: Kilburn Grange Park Adventure Playground, London Country: England Type of Building/Space: Outdoor Description: Kilburn Grange is a play centre, adventure and nature play facility in a 2500sqm site within a public park. The project objectives are: place-shaping, sustainability, safety, design, and improvement of children's use of public space. The project also aimed to: set the standard for future projects, to provide an environment where children can challenge themselves physically, to promote inclusive play and an appreciation of the natural environment, and to form part of the park as a whole. During the initial outreach the needs and ideas of the whole community were established through a series of workshops aimed at equipping the young people with the knowledge and tools to develop their playground freely and creatively. The play centre itself is very simple in plan – effectively a large open space with a subordinate office, toilet and kitchen spaces, enabling it to be adapted to a wide range of future uses.
Entrant: Abbozzo, Glasgow Name of Building/Space: Hyndland After School Club, Partick, Glasgow Country: Scotland Type of Building/Space: After School Club Description: Hyndland After School Club provides out of school care for children aged between 5 and 12 years. Their premises are located within Hyndland Primary School, originally used as a drill hall (approx 1930) and then a school dining hall. The school’s own refurbishment included a new dining hall, and the after school club were then able to access the old dining hall for their sole use, allowing for greater flexibility in their service. The original facilities needed to be upgraded to allow the club to make best use of the space and reduce the need to use rooms within the school. The environment is intended as a happy and welcoming child friendly destination. Having this building allows the Club to be creative and adventurous, facilitating arts and crafts activities and games to suit all ages and abilities.
