This book, the result of research by curator and design historian Domitilla Dardi, opens with a "history in images" of playgrounds: an overview of projects by artists, designers and architects like Vito Acconci, Le Corbusier, Lina Bo Bardi and Aldo van Eyck, who have tackled the creation of playgrounds over time. Several creators were then asked to imagine new playgrounds for this book: so here are 9 ideas put forward by Paul Cox, matali crasset, Konstantin Grcic, Martí Guixé, Lemonot, Gianluca Malgeri and Arina Endo, Studio Ossidiana, Parasite 2.0 and Olimpia Zagnoli, who freely interpreted the book's double page as a playground. ‘Playgrounding’ also explores the meaning of playgrounds through many images: from the photographs of Stefano Cerio and Fujio Kito to those sourced from the digital archives of world-leading libraries, as well as shots by renowned artists on the theme of merry-go-rounds.
