International Play Project Profile
Client: Town of Getafe
Budget: €260,150
Client objectives: Develop a unique, inclusive and landmark play area based on a copy of the C212 plane (on a 1:1 scale).
Concept: Getafe is famous for a deep-rooted history in aeronautics – in particular the production and first flight of a cargo airline (C212).
Bespoke design: Creation of a play replica of the plane – with the length and wingspan identical to the original version. In addition to the 1-to-1 scale plane structure, the surrounding play elements also reflect the theme. The play area places the plain in the air with an imaginary sky. The design includes embossed clouds that support play elements. This design also promotes imagination for children to play together, and pretend to become pilots. Games and information panels tell the story of the plane and the structure has been designed so that wheelchairs can access the entire game through to the pilot’s cockpit for inclusivity.
