Design Inspired By Nature: for jon

The above was slide no. 12 from the presentation titled "Primary Objects". This slide features an award winning child's play fort designed by two designers from Madrid, Josue Gamonal and Vicente Porres. The theme of the contest was "The Child's Universe". This piece was selected as the winner based on its “innovative concept that broadens the typology of children’s furniture, thanks to its references to nature and its playhouse and shelter-like quality.”

The study is titled "Primary Objects". During the presentation, I discussed learning styles, ergonomics, community in the classroom, child development, and the methodology behind the project.
