It is a product cum service that encourages creative outdoor play and at the same time provides an opportunity to socialise with fellow residents. For children, it provides an interactive playground which is simple yet effective tool to bring fitness and well being. The design is flexible, light, durable and can be lifted and moved around even by children between the age 6-12 years. Moreover, the tile system makes it modular at its core and can fit into small or large space easily. Being minimal with just 4 basic parts, it can transform any given public space/ backyard or street into a play and lounge zone all while keeping a safe distance. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f501a9341076b06741c00e5/1599098289470/As+Above+So+Below.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - As Above So Below Design Team: Romina Gonzales, @ribcagemassage I propose to create an installation of 4 pedestals placed adjacently to 4 framed reflective/mirror plexiglass squares that will lay on the floor. The pedestals, made out of white painted plywood or MDF, will have steps that invite viewers to climb up and stand on, while the plexiglass (plastic) mirror on the floor reflects the sky and themselves as they gaze down from the top. This collection of self-reflective pieces ranging between 14” - 40” in height, is a call to action to step into a realm of admiration and appreciation. While standing on the pedestals, viewers are deified as they become the work of art, empowered to treasure themselves and their surroundings. Being elevated and seeing the vastness of the sky both above and below refocuses attention to marvels that often go unnoticed while creating a feeling of freedom and openness. Each pedestal is an individual space for collective gathering. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f501aa0d2c21c1633da28e5/1599098352407/SlowCone_View_Day%252B-%252BPeter%252BVikar.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - #Slowcone Design Team: Peter Vikar + Nico Guillin, @thevikar #SLOWCONE is an art object that has an iconic presence that brings a highly visible and recognisable element to the streets of Newburgh. The object(s) plays with the changing scale of an everyday object and jolts the community out of their everyday perception to peak their curiosity. The giant traffic cone signals both the temporary street closures and serves as a general warning for safe social distancing. It offers non-facing seating options that encourage safe use while the visitors enjoy the Rolling Slow Streets. An optional soundscape built into the cones brings sounds of nature to the urban environment. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f501a885fdb4a0a920ea5cf/1599098225723/01+Are+You+the+Missing+Piece_XutianLiu_View+-+Xutian+Liu.png Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Are You The Missing Piece Design Team: Xutian Liu, @xutian.sid.liu “Social Distance Policy” is unarguably important. We definitely need it. However, I want to explore how to make people follow it without recognizing it. We want our kids to play safe and free. However, the circles drawn on the ground always remind us that we are living under the shadow of the global pandemic. Inspired by Keith Haring and Bahareh Bisheh. I designed this playground “Are You the Missing Piece?”. Basically, It’s composed of the contour of human body in different postures. They are placed by social distance. Kids would find it fun to figure out how to pose to fit into the outline. I also put some planters on the playground, so that we can have a micro-climate and create a little shadow to keep it cool. I hope the first thing came into people’s minds when they saw this is a human scale puzzle game, but not a design to separate them apart. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f504e64d198ad5b484636bd/1599098556561/Benches+For+Fun.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Benches For Fun Design Team: Paul Freudenburg, @paul_freudenburg This proposal begins by asking: “How can a small and inexpensive design project give a large foothold for increasing socially distanced community interaction for all ages?” Fundamentally, this project proposes a bench, or a series of benches (the number is scalable to budget) that have front faces which act as conventional seating and back faces that frame a play-area through color and form. The benches’ backs produce slight overhangs which can be juxtaposed against one another to create a separated enclave within the urban context of Newburgh. All the materials and components are off-the-shelf items at Home Depot or Lowes and are mostly pressure treated dimensional lumber and standard metal connectors. Additionally, the proposal could be executed with minimal tools (table saw, chop saw, power drill) and the final product/s would be small and light enough to transport easily in the back of a mini-van or truck. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f504f27ecd11d178c0a17e6/1599098751410/1+-+Ann+Guseva.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Beneath the Waves Design Team: Anna Guseva, Ilnar Akhtiamov, Rezeda Akhtiamova, @tiarch, @asteroidanna Beneath The Waves is a modular street furniture block, which can be installed for the Newburgh city street recreation or playful leisure, or even for the local artisans' festival. Art is open to everyone. It is as easy to get involved in, as fishing! Indeed, our creative ideas are like swirling fish that we need to catch! Beneath The Waves is an artistic hideaway, where everyone can experience art and play. It is just like the Octopus's Garden, by the Beatles. As you approach the modular blocks, you observe the visitors or artists inside the labyrinth of ‘dancing’ corners, yet keeping a distance. The corners may turn into recreation benches, exhibition or performance spaces, or a ‘hide-and-seek pavilion’ with timber planters. When you dive in, the twisting galleries seem a bright underwater world. You feel the boiling atmosphere of creativity and start to play the urban game! The modular blocks may transform any parklets, squares, or alleys throughout the city, adding more curiosity to our urban experience. Timber panels of three types adjoin via their carved edges, forming a basic triangular module of two types. The carved upper edge of the vertical panels is used for fixating a tent, a ‘wavy’ timber canopy, or the exhibited works. Multiple module combinations compose a modular urban game labirynth, which suites a variety of activities. Hence, the modular pavilion is easy to transform and transport. As a dominant, an inflatable submarine may be installed above the modular ‘waves’ of the labyrinth. It serves as a landmark, visible from every corner. Welcome Beneath The Waves! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5053c79187e03625801528/1599100326669/IMG_4325+-+Asea+Thompson.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Black Recess: Detention series Design team: Asea Thompson, @militantunicorn "Black Recess: Detention series" is an offspring of Black Recess which is intentional safe space for Black/African American empaths. The Detention series was conceptualized during COVID-19 quarantine in efforts to create quiet space outdoors as a reprieve for Black beings who are experiencing cabin fever or who's quality of life has been impacted by noise within their living space. What I propose is outdoor reprieve pods limited to one person with an inflatable lounge chair, sheer personal canopy or umbrella, and ear plugs to minimize the background noise. I suggest these pods be setup out of the way of major foot traffic. There will also be an onsite mobile library stocked with books by Black beings for Black beings. I've personally benefited from having quiet alone time in nature and would love for other Black beings to have the same experience. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5054bf4b42a14a9c85d36f/1599100166257/Bridges.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Bridges Design Team: Ornela Novello, @ornenovello Bridges is a series of free standing structures that allow for individual and collective engagement. It is my attempt to find an appropriate balance between being six feet apart while still feeling meaningful and seeing in the community. It tries to answer what happens in between the six feet rather than how to keep everyone six feet apart. You can find more info in the attached pdf. Thanks for your time and this great initiative! Ornela https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f50553fffb8586f49547001/1599100278514/J_spy+Bubble+Umbrella+2+-+Jason+Shannon.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Bubble Umbrella Design Team: Jason Shannon, @j_spy_arch During the pandemic, we have all had to restrict ourselves to our immediate bubble of life. Isolating ourselves in this bubble is the safest, but we have to find a way to break out. This scheme imagines us carrying around half a bubble, or more specifically, a bubble umbrella, to protect ourselves without the need of a mask. To keep us from looking silly carrying around umbrellas, we are proposing an installation of misting water nozzles that will create an area of fog to provide cooling during the summer, and a fun place to experience with the umbrellas. The structure is scaffold that we hope to have donated for the installation. We imagine kids running through without umbrellas, and others finding a nook to hang out with friends. Even after the pandemic, this installation is a great respite from the summer heat and a fun experience. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5055ee947e4e5d5cbcd123/1599100581336/1+-+surya+teja+kolla.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Crates to Create Design Team: Surya Teja KOLLA, @stratchet777 @the_archi.nomad_girl @tejas_biswas With the advent of the pandemic as designers, we have the opportunity to create resilient urban public spaces. The project "Crates To Create" focuses on co-creating, reinventing and reusing. We aim to give the power of design to the residents of Newburgh with this project, the ability to create a space with neighbours and communities, a space that is tailor-made for the community by the community by emphasizing on the act of meeting and playing. The design is a vision of collaboration between the city of Newburgh and Lego where the building blocks are re-purposed milk crates, whose design allows them to be connected to each other, in addition, the design includes pillars as another connecting component to increase the design scope. By proposing recycling of materials we intend to limit the carbon footprint and reduce the burden on mother nature. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f50569fffb8586f49549b96/1599100643038/Cuddle+Balls+_byReimagineNewburgh.002+-+nadiatarr%40mac.com.jpeg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Cuddle Balls Design Team: Reimagine Newburgh, @reimagine_newburgh Cuddle Balls is a portable installation covering 400 - 600 sq ft . Comprised of 65 inflatable fit balls and a giant stretchy mesh enclosure. A durable stretch sack filled with a portion of balls makes up the base of the environment. The remainder of the balls , free floating, available for exercise, relaxation and play find a home on top. Participants are invited to play, toss, roll, squeeze, lay, relax, bounce & exercise with 4 different sized soft inflatable balls selected to accommodate various body sizes, weights & ages and encourage a variety of play, comfort, exercise & discovery. Cuddle Balls is designed to fill many of the voids we are navigating due to the pandemic.

The idea I have developed for this concept is Electron Run based off of the iconic atom model. The floor graphic will be derived from the atom image pictured in image one of the image samples. The game play is similar to something like musical chairs where positioning is crucial for survival in the game. A player represents an electron and must follow the path of the electron orbit to strategically switch their position to a new electron. A set of rules will be developed to optimize functionality of the game and player safety. The floor graphic will be installed from a template and instructions using chalk paint with a mat displaying game instructions and educational information. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5057d61891da781b98c709/1599101186294/Extend-a-friend-02+-+Clare+Fentress.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Extend-a-friend Design Team: J. A. Billingsley, Clare Fentress, Jane Fentress Extend-a-friend is a lightweight, six-foot-long wooden dowel with a graspable plastic hand at either end. It is a toy, a marker, and a tool for safe contact—a distancing aid that connects us rather than separating us. Through the generous gesture of its outstretched hand, it offers the user—adult or child—a tender encounter and the potential for imaginative and physically active play; at the same time, it subtly reminds us of the often hard-to-visualize six feet of safe distance. Lightweight, brightly colored, and easily cleanable, the six-foot-long Extend-a-Friend is both practical and strange, obvious and unfamiliar. It is an inexpensive addition to the Rolling Slow Streets playkit, and a colorful new friend for everyone in the city. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f50586decd11d178c0b4278/1599101318971/FF+Mobile+Dog+Park_01+-+Erin+Bristol.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Far Fetch Mobile Dog Park Design Team: Justin Emerson, @tangramint When it comes to humans best friend, a desire to play goes without saying. As much as residents need to get out of their homes for recreation, their pets share that same need. The Far Fetch Mobile Dog Park is a simple 'kit of parts' concept that is easily transported and stored. The flat deck storage carts contain pass through activity sets that can be easily exchanged or added on to over time. Activities can be set up separately to create a natural flow encouraging social distancing, but still allowing for socializing and play. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5058d89dee334f6ab984ab/1599101243470/Flex+Pipes_01+of+05+-+Benjamin+Akhavan.png Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Flex Pipes Design Team: Benjamin Akhavan, @benjaminakhavan Flex Pipes is a modular, customizable, and scalable system to change Newburgh’s public spaces. By using basic technology - galvanized structural pipes and fittings - Flex Pipes offers a durable, robust, maintenance-free frame that will last a lifetime. Aesthetically, Flex Pipes can be painted to match a school’s colors, existing infrastructure, or anything else. The current design includes monkey bars, canvas shades, and plywood benches to serve all ages. In the future, it can move to a school or park. Flex Pipes is infinitely customizable; because Flex Pipes is made of standard parts and is quickly assembled with a hex-key and set-screw, it can evolve to include different functions. In fact, my hope is that people make Flex Pipes their own by adapting it to their needs. Because it uses standard sizes, Flex Pipes can be scaled in the future, with off-the-shelf supplies. The first iteration is estimated to cost less than $2,000. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5059b9505109752d023730/1599101440026/Image+1+-+Shannon+Hui.png Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Framing City Play Design Team: Susan Steinfield, Lila Gaffney, Kassia Karras, Shannon Hui, Maciej Dzumala, @susanzeldart, @lila.gaffney, @kassiakarras, @shannonhuii, @matcha_lattte Newburgh has an opportunity this summer to bring people together, despite the need to stay 6’ apart. Our design transforms the street from a background for commuters to a space of art, play, and connection. Bright colors and shadows magnify the beauty and potential of the cityscape. Drawing boards placed around the site serve both to cast colorful shadows, and as canvases for passersby that also support social distancing. Recycled triangular sails attached by cables to sturdy tree branches will provide shade. We propose that construction be done collaboratively. We hope to organize local artists to take part in painting recycled tires for play and seating, having local businesses sponsor this practice. Permanent artwork done on the drawing boards at the end of the summer could become a piece of permanent public art. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f505a295eadba59e388752b/1599101572859/Funiture1+-+Melissa+Arnold.png Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Fun-iture Design Team: Kenny Arnold, @curiouskenneth This modular seating system for all ages, enables playful building or simply a place to sit.

An off the shelf scaffold system supports programs of play, lounging, and markets, via its hinged and movable panels. My hope is that multiple age groups are able to simultaneously utilize the structures, while having the ability to social distance. The design incorporates possible moments of community engagement during the making process. Specifically, the creation of the climbing holds provide a fun activity for children. The holds can be partial casts of the hands of children in the community, which is easily done safely and at a low cost, when using products like Alja-Safe for the mold and concrete for the final cast. The final casts can be painted along with the panels they attach to. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f505ba6c9f27460eb5d7013/1599101921295/Incomplete+shadows+3+-+Diba+Dayyani.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Incomplete Shadows Design Team: Diba Dayyani, @dibadyyn The idea is based on playing with shadows as a form of non physical engagement with surrounding. What I witnessed during quarantine in home was that, The light in the house changes continuously and these changes create various forms and shapes through shadows on the wall and the floor. In this Idea kids while playing in the park, can complete the shapes which are created by the shadow of the installation. when the kids make the shapes complete with their own shadows, then they can role play and act as those animals and tell stories. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f505c183d9ee35a050e6ba9/1599102349194/Interlace_Render_01+-+Patrick+Girdler.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Interlace Design Team: Patrick Girdler & Emily Young, @pgird, @eyoung16 What we miss most about life before COVID-19 is seeing, and being seen by, our community. We created Interlace as a way for Newburgh residents to experience that social visibility again. With the Rolling Slow Streets initiative’s selected locations, we saw an opportunity to create an intimate “third place” at the scale of a residential street. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f505c75947e4e5d5cbdabc6/1599102364515/image1.jpeg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - I.S.L.A. Design Team: Anusha Mehar and Nelson “Cekis” Rivas, @ahnewshah @panjaculture @el_cekis As part of DESIGN FOR SIX FEET public space [a protect the Peace project] we propose to construct two “I.S.L.A.s” or “Intentional Spaces / Leisure Atmospheres.” This together-apart design is heart + play centric, and achieves harmony of multiple Elements. It powers your devices through one thin + flexible 175-watt monocrystalline solar panel (via 2 outlets). It invites space to sit, take rest, recharge the breath. Six-feet wide, these four-faced pyramids are comprised of opposite-facing reclining bench-seats that are also skate-friendly. Both of the (2) prototypes proposed are adorned with a container-growing shade tree.

A combination of street chalk and ramps tell children what activities to perform to go forward all while maintaining a safe distance from their peers. In between ramps, chalk can be used to mark the street and direct kids to the next ramp they can move to in the course. Since chalk is temporary, each time Kick-Flip Colors is set up there is a new course for kids to explore, which encourages kids to keep coming back throughout the years. The stage can be constructed using connections on the ramps and bases. The remaining space allows for distanced seating around the stage to view performances. Kick-Flip Colors aims to keep kids active and interacting with their friends by creating a fun way to play safely. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f505ea63f7d6926aa2646e7/1599102695236/2020-0801+-+Marble+Arch+Chess+-+Matthew+Tether.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Large Scale Chess Set Design Team: Marble Arch Let's make the great game of Chess fun and accessible to kids of all ages!

LSB consists of a number of components made at three different levels which are functional as a kids play space and seating. These components can be arranged in a single large cluster, spread throughout Liberty Street, or perhaps on multiple blocks throughout Newburgh. The Kit: Each component in the kit of parts is made of a 4x8 sheet of plywood. The design could have handles or can be designed to be easily moveable with a pallet jack. Sand: Sand can be reused or simply swapped out. Pool: The pool is only 4" in depth for safety reasons. These components will have a drain to easily empty. Canopy: The canopies are 8' tall. The slats are angled at 30° to provide playful shade.

As things start to open during the pandemic, this design provides a physical and visual way for residents to social distance while interacting. The overhead lighting in this design creates visuals to illustrate proper social distance, as well as a playful ambiance which appeals to the residents of a younger audience. The parametric seating, with clear acrylic tops and gathering space, allows for the light to penetrate and create interesting visuals and shadows throughout the structure. The wavelike design of the seating, inspired by the ocean, properly divides residents while still maintaining an open and welcoming environment within the newly reopening city. This design re-interprets the concept of social distancing and translates it into an immersive and playful experience for all. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f51472af5846825bf3ffdd9/1599162333880/200803_Mancala+Foam+Sculptures-01+-+Harrison+Ratcliff.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Mancala Foam Sculptures Design Team: Harrison Ratcliff, @harrisonwindsorvi Mancalas are considered to be one of the oldest games that is still practiced, and around the world no less. The origins remain obscure. There are dozens of variations of the same game exist in multiple cultures with many different ways to play, with some being fairly simple for children, and other being more complex. The project proposes creating 5 mancala foam sculptures, or sort of interactive objects, that are based off different versions across the globe, with a wide spectrum of difficulty levels. The objects would be hand sawn, covered with plaster (to add durability), and coated with an anti-microbial finish. The scale of the objects helps to reinforce the concept of safe distancing while children can play. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5147e8f5846825bf401d7e/1599162419669/1+-+Joshua+Tan.png Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Modul(OR) Design Team: Joshua Tan, @jamphor_arch Modul(OR) is a playful design inspired by the Rubik’s Cube. The cube is made of smaller modules which form a puzzle, requiring one to match the colors for reassembly. Rather than returning the design back to its original state, it can be reassembled differently by connecting the modules’ extrusions and depressions. Depressions and holes are designed for storage of toys and books for reading. The flat surfaces can be used as tables or seating for adults and platforms or tunnels for kids. For materiality, 2” hardwood is chosen for easy construction. Joints can be further refined to include dovetail, box or mortise and tenon joints for safer assembly. If the modules have to be moved, they can be reassembled into the 3x3 cube configuration for transportation. The design is simple and customizable, encouraging interaction and customization to rehabilitate the use of public space and the possibilities of imagination. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5148ef57bb672e8e5466ac/1599162664054/NewReflections_03+-+Stefan+Di+Leo.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - New Reflections in Newburgh Design Team: Stefan DiLeo & Amanda Kim, @stefandileo & @mandyfiles New Reflections is an interactive playscape focused on putting back the fun in public space. We aim to do that by creating community engagement through optical illusions. Our inspiration comes from the fun house mirror and its playful, interactive nature. New Reflections features mirrored surfaces that gently sway in the wind distorting the surrounding environment and participant’s reflections. A tint of color to the mirrors adds levity, brightening the streetscape or park wherever the game is being played. It only takes a glance and your world is transformed. As other participants enter the space across or next to you, your realities become interwoven. The playscape is as much about reflection as finding a form that responds to the context while inspiring the community. As our world has forever changed, New Reflections gives us a visual metaphor and new understanding of ourselves and the world we live in. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f51494a0494255e9a5d554b/1599162782011/Auver-Newburgh-1+-+Griffin+Ofiesh.png Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Newburgh Blooms Design Team: Auver, @auver_architecture Newburgh Blooms Using a simple construction method of stacked wood lumber cut to individual lengths, the Newburgh Blooms create bold forms that activate the city’s streets.

For Newburgh, we are proposing a street closure with the construction of an outdoor bowling alley (1 single lane). Bowling, a traditionally indoor activity is one of the things we no longer have access to. However, when brought outdoors, becomes not only a spectacle, team activity, and opportunity for gathering, but most importantly, naturally caters to safe social distancing. With an ADA accessible ramp leading up to the lane, players take turn making their toss. On the receiving end, a friend or partner or teammate stands ready to roll the ball back to the player, using the gutter. Since the outdoor alley lacks the mechanized components of the indoor bowling alley, friends, family, teammates, and passers by replace those elements, creating an opportunity for safe play, gathering, and interaction. While intended to be implemented in the street, given the dimensions and physical form of the game, there is no reason the structure cannot be shifted to the school yard, or simply any flat area of land, or concrete. Above all, the outdoor bowling alley serves all members of the community, from young children, to teenagers, to young adults, and even older members of the community. Given the scale of the proposed intervention we found it important that the proposed structure benefit the largest number of people possible while bringing something that doesn’t currently exist into the urban landscape of Newburgh. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f514aaa270d64570a6cf76e/1599163431295/1+Newburgh_Street+Section+-+Christine+P.png Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - NOURISH>Newburgh Design Team: Zeke Mermell + Colin Brown / Sam Schwartz Team, @samschwartzeng "NOURISH>Newburgh" is a vision for children of all ages, backgrounds, and abilities to thrive in our streets.

You instinctively know every curb, bump and crack. Your feet move to the rhythm of the topography. You know your city landscape without a thought. And it is beautiful to know something so deeply. However, psychology has shown that to stimulate brain development people must have new experiences. My proposal 'playGROUND' is a series of colorful, moveable rubber bumps of various shapes, with which adults and children alike can endlessly create new street landscapes. A landscape is a COVID-safe game of exploration; just use your feet! 'playGROUND' allows for people to re-experience, re-traverse, re-love their known streets.

Myself, like many others, was confined to my home for an extended period of time and I found myself being drawn to plants. The ability to care and watch nature grow right in front of me is fascinating. I quickly learned through various social media groups that the houseplant community is a big one, one filled with so many amazing people so ready and eager to share their knowledge and even their own plants. I propose the Propagation Station for the community of Newburgh, whether a novice plant lover or an experienced gardener, to leave cuttings or pots of their own plants for others to trade. Being able to visually see and take part in the growth process of a plant and the care required to get a plant to thrive is a valuable experience that offers an abundance of knowledge to kids. Set on wheels this station can easily be moved around the community and relocated inside during the winter months. Propagation Station offers a chance for the sharing of knowledge and the excitement you feel when you watch a new leaf sprout from your plant brings a simple joy in a time when things are not so simple. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f517078f12b0d25526df25f/1599172927020/The+Newburgh+Public+Play+Grid-page-5+-+Vonn+Weisenberger.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Public Play Grid Design Team: Vonn Weisenberger, @vonnrw The Public Play Grid is a customizable system and furniture set designed to create an endless variety of outdoor public programming.

Social trampoline program composite by 6 ft and 12 ft diameter trampolines, which suits different kinds of user group, such as families, individuals, and groups of friends. Safety is always our first consideration, we keep the social distance happed by controlling the distance between each trampoline, also, with the soft fences around the base ground, people will be safe when they are jumping. Moreover, as it is easy to move, it can be located at closed roads or schoolyards, and can also easily change the location based on the building or tree shadings.

Design Team: Lindsay Duddy & Claudia Carle, @claudia.carle @brooklinds_718 The outbreak of COVID-19 has both exacerbated and made increasingly visible the existing social and economic inequalities throughout America - no community has been spared from this reality. Through simple, innovative and effective interventions, the city of Newburgh, NY, which sits along the edge of New York’s Hudson River, has the ability to incite change within the local community despite the restrictions brought on by social distancing guidelines and regulations. Safety measures to prevent the spread of the virus suddenly made public “third places” - such as libraries, community learning centers and playgrounds in which individuals learn, exchange ideas, and build relationships - inaccessible. Books provide an essential source of information for community members and reading is a critical tool which can facilitate knowledge exchange and discussions - the building blocks necessary to fight inequality and racism at a local level. The Storylines installation is designed to celebrate a diverse set of narratives. Conceived of as a set of open-manipulatives, each building component or ‘block’ was designed to encourage imagination, creativity and experimentation, Storylines encourages children to construct their own narratives by providing an adaptable and movable outdoor environment in which literacy and language are promoted through imagination and play. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f518358a5a0a53099fa2231/1599177650955/SUPER+BLOCKS%21_1+-+Matthew+Celmer.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - SUPER BLOCKS! Design Team: Matthew Celmer & Gary McGaha Jr., @matthewcelmer, @g_magk SUPER BLOCKS! Intuitive and educational fun! Unit blocks, developed by Caroline Pratt in 1913, are ubiquitous in schools and homes across the United States. Pratt’s blocks encourage hands-on learning, providing children with the opportunity to freely make, observe, and problem solve. The blocks encourage imagination and cooperative play while harnessing a fundamental tendency that children (and adults!) have to take things apart. SUPER BLOCKS! are constructed of high density foam that is durable and safe for people of all ages to handle. The blocks can be stacked, dangled and rearranged, amplifying perception of gravity and movement. The blocks’ color variation enhances surrounding urban fabrics with playfulness and reprieve. The blocks can be manipulated by small groups to enable social distancing. Distanced groups will gain inspiration from each other’s constructions. SUPER BLOCKS! scales up Pratt’s Unit Blocks by 800% turning the street into a classroom and construction site with super-sized blocks. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5183e325a3c23c69a2882c/1599177744062/Super_Circle_Rendering_A72+-+Manuel+Mendoza+Jr.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Super Circle Intervention Design Team: Enrique Mendoza, @m_enrique_m While the pandemic has radically changed the way we live, learn, work, and play. Our ability to immerse ourselves in nature has stayed relatively the same. I like to believe that nature to some extent has actually made us closer to one another. The “Super Circle” Intervention, as I’ve taken the liberty of calling it, is a large piece of social super furniture that offers a safe point to gather and interact with the neighborhood. Children are encouraged to use the “Super Circle” as a means of rediscovering their neighborhood, whether that be a school yard, church, or nearby park. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f51844aa5a0a53099fa3bef/1599177858643/Tetromino_Newburgh_01+-+Michael+Gloudeman+%281%29.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Tetromino Design Team: Michael Gloudeman Tetromino is a sustainable portable seating, staging, and activity catalyst. Tetromino is a place marker, its modularity creates an infinite number of combinations of use and seating configurations: Tetromino boxes are lightweight, easily manufacturable, stackable, and effortlessly transportable. The tetrominoes are secured on a series of wagons for mobility. These wagons can be coupled to create a stage for a variety of performances when the tetrominoes are deployed. When deployed, Tetrominoes create a playful public oasis, that promotes stay and play activities for all ages. The seating is laser etched with game boards on the tops (chess, checkers, mancala, backgammon, tic tac toe, etc.). Other durable wooden games such as Jenga, cornhole, molkky, horseshoes are also included. When coupled with other outdoor activities and events such as farmer's markets, street food trucks, art/ chalk festivals, music concerts, it creates a place to play, chill, and enjoy. Tetromino will engage and connect the citizens' City of Newburgh in unimaginable ways. - Thank you https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5184c289860f3fd7e5f8d6/1599177977273/4+-+German+Bahamon.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - The Little Urban Maze Design Team: German Bahamon / Illustrations by Natalia Jimenez, @german_bahamon @little.naths How can we make kids aware of social distancing? Jay Giedd, a neuroscientist at the University of California, San Diego, says that most kids younger than 7 or 8 are better suited to learn for active exploration than didactic explanation. Based on this I started dreaming about my proposal. Let kids explore social distancing through an urban Maze. I divided the street in modules of 6 by 6 feet, and three equal parts, two parts being occupied by an urban maze for exploration and learning, and the remaining area for letting the kids apply what they just learned. The urban maze is built by milkcrates recollected by charity or donations, the design is totally flexible and adjustable according to street conditions and quantity of milkcrates obtained. Community engagement. • Call Newburgh artists in order to make art using milkcrates the day of the event, it should include a misting system. Using water as a strategy for kids attractions and heat mitigation. • Farmers are invited to donate seeds and teach how to harvest food using milkcrates filled with soil, kids can name the seeds with a tag, meet the farmer and visit the farm in the future. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f51856b33819313c2f44166/1599178190212/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-09-03%2Bat%2B8.08.03%2BPM.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - The Social Distanced Tete A Tete Design Team: RODEO CO and Studio Pow Pow, @kilolimamurph @studiopowpow @edgardugy @tessadesroche Tete A Tete’s were used to create an environment where courting couples could talk intimately without disrupting the social norms of sitting too closely. In the new COVID era social norms have shifted in ways that we could never imagine. This version creates a space for adults and children to safely engage with each other. Instead of a proper setting that accompanies the traditional Tete A Tete this is an apparatus for play. Hopefully inspiring lightness and ease in a time of uncertainty. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f51862025a3c23c69a2d593/1599178319920/NewburghDesign+3+-+Erin+Francois.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - The ZenFlora Design Team: Erin Francois & Jabez Douglas, @francoisbydesign The concept is to have a place where individuals can relax and be connected to nature while maintaining social distancing. We have created portable seating pods with built in shading and storage [for books,games,etc], made from recycled or donated materials. Shipping Pallets - which create the pod itself and Milk crates - which will be used as planters. Due to the height of the pods certain variations can also be used as tables. For cooling the surrounding environment snake plants, aloe vera and golden pothos are known to do this well. To incorporate animal life plants such as Aster and Hosta bring about butterflies and hummingbirds. While plants like Lavender and Jasmine evoke feelings of peace and happiness. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f518676ad8e5e08b0c24628/1599178403895/1_Transform+Space_Nadeen+Hassan+%26+Soany+Marquez+-+Nadeen+Hassan.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - TransformSpace Design Team: Nadeen Hassan & Soany Marquez, @nadeenh_ & @soanyk Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, public spaces have been compromised; resources such as libraries and gardens have been closed. Since March, New Yorkers were forced to lock down to flatten the curve. As a result, students’ education and residents’ jobs were disrupted. These series of events have impacted people’s mental and physical health. As summer approached, it did not only bring the heat but also urged New Yorkers to leave their homes for fresh air and a change of scenery. Today, as the lockdown lifts, TransformSpace aims to reconnect individuals to safely socialize while learning in a place of tranquility. TransformSpace is composed of three components; portable library, cooling pod, and rain garden. The typology could be adapted in many spaces to create different scenarios; the three components can be merged as one or separated into multiple units based on the user’s needs. Since many public spaces are not accessible, TransformSpace aims to provide resources to people of all ages. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5186edfa5ad53db31a8e77/1599178517431/NewburghDesignForPlay_Triple+Play+1+-+Eduardo+Meneses.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Triple Play Design Team: Eduardo Meneses, @eduardo_blip Triple Play is a simple strategy that intervenes in the street to orchestrate a variety of programs. The elements at play are arrangement of 3 pieces, the existing, the new, and a combination of the new and existing. For Triple Play, these pieces realize themselves as a spout that taps into Newburgh’s newfound connection to the Catskills aqueduct (fire hydrant), a shelf (mobile storage) that when connected to others outlines space for stationary activity , and a screen (large projection surface) that takes on unused building exteriors. All three pieces look to incorporate groups of people at safe distances, within the context of the street, while leaving room for flexibility in how and when the public uses the space. The three elements and simple ground markings work together to house the city in spaces that were once meant for cars. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f518739c72a634453c76b72/1599178613429/1+-+Yuhan+Zhang.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Two Sides, One Game Design Team: Yuhan Zhang, Stella Xu, @jiliwula___han, @chiaroscuuro During the crisis of COVID 19 our living space has been constrained to mostly within our home, however in early childhood interaction and communication are crucial. Our proposal consists of a series of modularized Y-shape structures that encourage various ways of playing and interacting at a safe distance during the pandemic. The translucent panels under the canopies encourage the children to collaborate with a different person on the other side of the panel to play together, to solve a puzzle, collaborate a drawing, etc. The bouncing ball placed in the middle of each circular space are designed to be 6ft in diameter, in order to allow playing and resting while maintaining a safe distance. The canopies are made of colored acrylic sheets that casts colorful shadows on the ground, vitalizing the whole street into a fun and dynamic playground. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f51879ba5a0a53099faae8c/1599178704079/AimeeFlanagan_UrbanPlayground_PAGE1+-+Aimee+Flanagan.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Urban Playground Design Team: Aimee Flanagan, @aimee_flanagan_ The concept behind Urban Playground is to re-imagine communication and safely bring generations together to reminisce and explore communication through architecture. While maintaining social distancing standards, this unique design allows people of all ages to re-imagine in-person communication in a fun and safe way. Inspired by the string phone, this structure will be easily recognizable, appeal to a majority of generations and create a playful, educational experience. Residents will enjoy and learn about communication and sound transmission. The colored, transparent plexiglass cones help to maintain proper social distancing and coordinate which cones will be in communication. The waiting spots, offset six feet, color coordinate to each designated cone creating a safe distance between children and adults as they wait to participate. The use of PVC piping and plexiglass allows the structure to be inexpensive, lightweight, flexible, easy to transport, and allows for the transmission of sound at a safe distance. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5187ec2e89b931ab11c1d8/1599178773251/Urbanette_03+-+Wang+Christina.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - Urbanette Design Team: Christina Y.

The recreational space, realized with a focus on material upcycling from local businesses, will feature self-standing and movable elements made out of re-purposed tires, reclaimed wood from pallets, paintwork and minimal application of new material for structural parts. The reclaimed materials will be deconstructed and reassembled into refined artifacts to achieve a distinctive clean and fresh look and feel.The playground will offer trampolines, Cornhole games, seating and tables and shading elements, to stimulate the use of outdoor space.

Sometimes, all that’s missing is a place and a prompt. The primary concept relies on prompts that people walk through. The aim is to kickstart well-being (meditation, DBT), creativity (lateral thinking, logic), or relationship building (teamwork and connection). The ideas and designs are simple but fun in order to encourage room for play. Using stencils or printouts allow for convenience and ease of use. Involving minimal 3d materials, the many possible variations will encourage people to explore gesture, movement, motion, logic, and conversation. Considerations included repeatability, access, time taken to complete, number of participants, social distancing, and space for play. This particular concept is one that allows for flexibility in most categories. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f501a88ba514749ebde78ef/5f5189332e89b931ab11f2cf/1599179115057/who+is+on+the+phone+line+-+1+of+5+-+tan+chee+sing.jpg Initiatives - NEWBURGH: DESIGN FOR PLAY COMPETITION - who is on the phone LINE? Design Team: Tan Chee Sing, @tancheesing This is a low-budget proposal making use of string phone to promote socializing while maintaining safe social distancing. By listening to people's voice, one has a deeper understanding of each other, history and place ( Newburgh ). Umbrellas with protective cloth curtains are lined up on both sides of a closed road. People holds up the umbrella, ties the paper cup and starts chatting or listening to the person on the other end of the string phone. Before one leaves, one unties the paper cup from the string, and brings it away with him / her. The string phone is a socializing tool to bind people from all walks of life together, while the umbrella is a social distancing tool to minimize the risk of contracting Coronavirus. Regardless of who is on the other end of the string phone LINE, real communication is the way to a better future! https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5efd334836339960114f84d8/5f3ae9dfac361d6adf8b8442/5f3ae9e1bddc1b0127b03eea/1597696508681/MAMANTUHWIN_DESIGN_FOR_PLAY+1+-+Miriam+Kelly.jpg Initiatives -

Given that many indoor recreational activities and sports will continue to be prohibited for some time, potentially into the school year, are there ideas that might be multi-seasonal and can be moved to the school yard? What games and activities promote health, play and learning for all ages? https://www.designforsixfeet.org/collaborators daily 0.75 2020-12-13
