World is My Playground

The project was conceived as an experiment in architectural design that encourages
as much users' personal views and activities as possible without losing any bits of the
playful mind or creative pleasure in architect oneself's design process.

The world is full of structures designed for particular purposes.
But when you are in your personal special situation, those purposes are none of your business.
You have your own condition and see the world from your own perspective.
Shifting the focus, you will have a completely different world view.

The whole city is at war.
This particular situation creates particular space.
London is designed as a battlefield for military weapons.
However, it won’t be long before the city to be customized into a playground by civilians.
The world is our playground under whatever circumstances.
The whole effect is shown on a small street with a hope of achieving
a funny coexistence of two different aims distant from each other.
