Fully accessible play area in Plaça Emili Mira, in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Barcelona
The proposal aims to integrate the programme of leisure activities into the surroundings of the square while maintaining the quiet character of the area.
In this sense, a configuration is proposed that guarantees an accessible route in the play area while respecting the alignments of the square and the preferential circulations. As a result of this initial decision and the desire to integrate the pre-existing trees into the space, 4 sub-areas of play have been created: 3 dynamic play areas and 1 quiet play area.
The rubber pavement, used to ensure accessibility in the play area, inevitably involves the application of color over a significant portion of the surface. A specific color contrast is incorporated, designed to be perceptible to users with visual functional diversity, in order to clearly define the safety zones. In this context, the project develops a visual narrative that links the three dynamic play sub-areas with the three petals of the bougainvillea flower, a species commonly found in the area.
This proposal has an educational aim: to highlight the value of nature while giving the play area a distinctive and clearly differentiated image that is easy for users to identify.
