Who We Are
Architects, landscape architects, and designers
Our group is a joint knowledge community of the Boston Society for Architecture and the Boston Society of Landscape Architects. Both are membership organizations whose members have participated in all of our charrettes and projects.
Mission
To collaboratively design and build community play and gathering spaces to support social cohesion and healing.
Vision
To develop a transnational, collaborative and replicable process for designing, constructing, and supporting the development of child-focused public spaces.
Our goal is to develop a global network through partnerships with architects, landscape architects, designers, contractors, academics and students in the professions, and community organizations in the project areas.
“Children have always learned and created places for themselves through play.”
