This volume assembles key texts from the 1960s and 1970s where Oberlander urges city planners and developers to recognize playgrounds as important sites for childhood development and to include them in new construction. She emphasizes the social benefits that free play and independent discovery create, and she provides practical proposals for the formulation of new playgrounds. In pieces including a short history of children's play, reflections on her own work, and a report urging levels of government to protect children's right to play, Oberlander responds to austerity by encouraging the use of inexpensive and recycled materials such as sand, water, logs, boards, and tires for use in playgrounds and suggests vacant lots as play sites. She argues that developers and planners must always consult with their users and that children's input and needs must be considered in playground design. An introduction by Jane Mah Hutton, landscape architect and associate professor at the University of Waterloo School of Architecture, explores the intersections of active play, ecological thinking, urban development, and the enthusiastic and often-playful advocacy of Oberlander's writing and practice. This title is a collaboration between Concordia University Press and the Canadian Centre for Architecture and is part of the Building Arguments series."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 505 0 $a Introduction / Jane Mah Hutton -- Cornelia Hahn Oberlander's curriculum for play -- Texts by Cornelia Hahn Oberlander -- Spaces for creative play in our cities -- Playgrounds...a plea for utopia or the re-cycled empty lot -- The magic of sand -- indoors and out -- A short history of outdoor play spaces -- Planning for play everywhere 650 0 $a Playgrounds $x Design and construction. 650 0 $a Playgrounds $x Equipment and supplies. 650 0 $a Playgrounds $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Playgrounds $x History. 650 0 $a City planning. 700 1 $a Hutton, Jane Elizabeth, $d 1976- $e writer of introduction. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Oberlander, Cornelia Hahn. $t Cornelia Hahn Oberlander on pedagogical playgrounds. $d Montreal, Quebec : Concordia University Press, 2023 $z 9781988111384 $z 9781988111384 $w (OCoLC)1338030657 830 0 $a Building arguments. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240202024656.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=69EEFDC2627B11EE9D8B625031ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
