The Explore the Floor sessions at the ASLA Conference on Landscape Architecture offer attendees the opportunity to learn about new and improved techniques and how these improvements and services can help to create successful design projects. This guided walk on the EXPO floor will include the exhibitors: Berliner, Earthscape Play Inc., and Freenotes Harmony Park, Inc.
Berliner
The presentation will be on the revitalization of physical risk, the adaptivity of inclusive design, and how this equates to the overall play value for a playground when integrated with rope-based play equipment.
Earthscape Play Inc.
Playgrounds, when thoughtfully designed, can tell unique and important stories. They are opportunities for place-making and the cultivation of community spaces that enhance identity and connection. In the process of designing fun, beautiful custom playgrounds, it is meaningful to work with community stakeholders. This collaboration results in places that tap into site history and context while delighting and inspiring the children who play there. Join us for a first-hand look at our approaches to imbuing playgrounds with meaning through this creative process.
Freenotes Harmony Park, Inc.
Music parks benefits every member of the community, but few communities have a music program available and affordable to everyone. A permanent installation of instruments changes that. A simplified system allows anyone to play and recreate regardless of training or ability, and enhances the landscape of any outdoor environment. Instruments can be designed in different ways and sizes ranging from individual to ensemble play. Music transcends age, gender, ethnicity, and mobility, and is a gathering force that builds better communities, helps make people kinder, and enhances the places where people live.
