Sensory Playground, Remedial Education Center in Hagendorn, 2006
The "Sensory Playground" was designed for the senses and serves as an extended educational setting for the Remedial Education Center in Hagendorn. With a concept based on the principles of remedial education and perception, the outdoor facilities were created especially for children with mental and/or multiple disabilities. The versatile, stimulating play and recreation grounds were developed in close collaboration with the artist, the architect and landscape architects, as well as an interdisciplinary team at the center..
