MONSTRUM

When Copenhagen's iconic stock exchange "Børsen" went up in flames earlier this year, it got us thinking about the significance of buildings and the stories they tell, the history they embody, and the values they represent.

"...because Danish designers like to add a sense of play wherever they can, its playground architects Monstrum are known the world over for its outrageously artistic and fun playground designs, playscapes that could be entire castles, gigantic peacocks or whales, designed to promote imaginative play in children of all ages." ✨ If you're in Paris, you can experience a taste of playful Danish design at the Denmark Pavilion. https://lnkd.in/dz4Cq4bR #Paris2024 #Olympics #DanishDesign #MONSTRUMPlaygrounds #ArtisticPlaygrounds

We create tailor-made thematic playgrounds for all kinds of destinations - including amusement parks across the world 🎡 Check out our recent project at Bellewaerde theme park in Belgium, where we created an immersive play experience for a brand new themed area of the park. The playground comprises a network of interconnected towers inspired by the ancient monuments and temples of the Indian town Hampi. Here, kids experience the intricate historic designs up close and can get involved in the reconstruction work of these monuments in ruins.

“Our playgrounds convey a story and create an experience for all. They bring people together despite their differences. The simple, powerful concept of play translates across generations, nationalities and abilities” - Ole Barslund Nielsen, MONSTRUM. In Volume 3 of The Place Economy we explore the secret ingredient to the perfect playground – creating places where parents want to gather too https://ow.ly/GZX850R6A1k . #ThePlaceEconomy #placemaking #monstrumplaygrounds #artisticplaygrounds #architecture #design #playgrounddesign

When you see something as iconic as Copenhagen’s Stock Exchange (the inspiration for part of The Towers Playground) in flames, you realise that it’s much more than a building. It’s a landmark. Landmarks tell tales, speaking of past events. They bring us together in a shared narrative. They are the face of the city, shaping its identity. They are the faithful constants in city life.⁠ ⁠ We are saddened by the loss of “Børsen” but we’re also glad to have been able to create a playground paying homage to the monumental towers of Copenhagen, that will continue to tell the story of our city to kids from around the world ❤️ #monstrumplaygrounds #playgrounds #playgrounddesign #custommade #design #architecture #fantasticplaygrounds Københavns Kommune
