DESIGN NAME: New York
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Play Unit
INSPIRATION: New York is a play unit that aims to offer children many ways of fun with its distinctive form and colours. The product consists of several rope climbing components and polycarbonate panels with a New York silhouette. The idea is to make kids feel as if they were in an apple while engaging an activity that is full of excitement.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: New York provides children with an opportunity to engage in play activities. 3d climbing design helps children improve their motor skills, hand eye coordination and wariness of heights significantly while climbing. It features rubber stepper disks and a rung climbing station integrated into the play setup which ensure improvement in childrens physical development. The product lets sunshine in as well as the warmth of nature via polycarbonate panels of a New York silhouette.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: With its circular shape and easily reachable play stations, kids can decide to play from any side of the product. The first interaction happens with climbing and balance stations or children can choose to start climbing the three-dimensional rope inside the sphere. The two dimensional rope that surrounds the sphere can function as climbing and resting. If children look up, they will come across colorful and half transparent polycarbonate panels where they can play light and role playing games.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project exhibited in Atrax fair in Istanbul, Turkey. The exhibition was held in January 2024.
The project exhibited in Fsb in Cologne, Germany. The exhibition was held in October 2023.

Each strand is tightly braided with polyester which is adhered to galvanized wires with a patented method. With the patented tensioning system of ropes, stretching process is performed from outside providing an easier assembly. Metal parts are comprised of st 37 steel with a 3 step metal finish sandblasting and solvent free zinc primer coating, electrostatic powder paint application.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Playgrounds have tremendous effects on the physical, social, and psychological improvement of children. To create the best environment for children various research has been done to ensure they would come across the safest conditions as well as develop their physical and social skills. Investigations have been made between the ages of 2 to 12, to understand the behaviors of children better and design the best playground they would be comfortable to play in while enhancing their experience.
CHALLENGE: In the design of New York, the hardest part was to capture apple shape and make the cover interchangeable. Also adapting the design with all the materials, the company can provide was another obstacle on our parts. Using bend shapes quite often usually created problems in the production of design but our design team came though it with hard work and research. The biggest challenge was to insert a 3d rope inside the construction and create a safety measured product for children to play in.

The recognition of "New York" as a winner of the A' Design Award in the category of Playground Equipment, Play Structures and Public Park Design is a testament to the innovative and thoughtful approach to creating spaces that enrich children's play experiences. The design inspiration behind this play unit, aiming to offer children a multifaceted form of fun through its distinctive shape and vibrant colors, truly sets it apart. The inclusion of various rope climbing components and polycarbonate panels with a New York silhouette not only stimulates children's imagination, making them feel as if they are in an apple but also encourages physical activity in an exciting manner. The unique properties of this design, such as the 3D climbing feature and rubber stepper disks, are ingeniously integrated to support children's motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and awareness of heights. It is clear that extensive research went into ensuring the play unit is not only safe but also significantly contributes to children's physical and social development. The challenges faced during the design process, such as capturing the apple shape and integrating a 3D rope within the construction, highlight the team's dedication and creativity. The efforts made by the design team to overcome these challenges and produce a safe, engaging, and developmental play unit are truly commendable. The success of this project is a reflection of the comprehensive approach taken, from the research phase to the realization methods, ensuring that the play unit is constructive for children's growth in numerous ways.

This achievement not only highlights the innovative approach taken by the designers but also showcases the depth of thought and research invested into creating a play structure that is not just visually appealing but significantly beneficial for children's physical and developmental growth. The integration of 3D climbing elements alongside rubber stepper disks and a rung climbing station within this unit, ingeniously designed to mimic the vibrant silhouette of New York, is a testament to the dedication of the Cemer Design Center towards fostering an environment that enhances motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and a healthy awareness of heights among young users. Moreover, the use of polycarbonate panels to let in sunshine and warmth adds an element of natural connectivity, enriching the playful experience. The holistic approach, considering the psychological, social, and physical well-being of children, coupled with a design that is as educational as it is entertaining, truly sets this work apart. This award is a well-deserved accolade for a project that not only exemplifies good design but also embodies the potential of play structures to transform public spaces into hubs of creativity, learning, and growth for our younger generations.
