How do you bring a little magic into a park? You invite creative, energetic students in, give them materials, direct them a little bit, and stand back! This recipe was at work this September 2nd and 3rd in Blackstone Park. Around 20 RISD students showed up, learned about the park and set to work creating prototypes of structures that would be attractive to children and engage their imagination. They had to use natural materials from the area and build structures that are impermanent–structures that will be rebuilt over and over again in many different ways by the children and families who use Blackstone Park. Their prototypes have been left on site so we hope you will go down to the park, look at what they built and play a little.
