Zona infantil

The project Zona Infantil derives from the need to offer more quality spaces for movement to kids in the Parque México and at large in México D.F.

Zona infantil emerges as the answer to an imminent need in the city, the insufficiency of outdoor quality spaces, designed to promote a healthy development for smallest citizens, the kids.

This project goes after a new guideline in design and creation of kids’ spaces, establishing the development of the infants into a carefree environment as central axis and turns playing the most important growing factor.

The design of Zona infantil is center in create a games module which integrates the wide area for kids to interact and test their own movements. The module its made with rolled steel tube in which way are generated various activities. It has three baby swings, two swings for older children, one slide and an 80 square meters for climb, roll or lie down.

An important aspect for this playground design process is the care and conservation of the environment, because of this, the structure adapts to the space described by the surrounding trees, creating an attractive interaction between nature and design.

The materialization of Zona infantil is the response to a increasingly necessary working model to improve the México City neighborhoods through the collaboration between citizens, private initiative, design professionals and Government.
