The participation by children and adults in designing public spaces reinforces the identity in people’s immediate surroundings and evolves a sense of responsibility for it.
The project «Playhouse» could be a small component within these participation projects.
The first action to the building of the Playhouse could take place during kindergarten celebrations. Here the shingles can be painted by the children. If they use colours,
stamps or carving tools depends on their individual skills. Following the shingles have to be sealed with wood oil.
The second action is the construction of the Playhouse. The excavation of the holes is done quickly, if young and old tackle Self-Build-Playhouse together. A layer of
gravel is put in the holes to prevent water logging. The gable ends are then assembled, put into the holes and then connected with the roof battens. Afterwards the shingles
can be nailed one by one. Finally, the roof consists of 80 little pieces of artwork which together form one big image.
The third action is to find a name for the playhouse according to the organisation of a competition.
The fourth action is the ceremonial opening of the Playhouse.
Children and adults come together due to the playhouse project in order to achieve something in common.
