Jabana Preschool Playground

Over the course of one summer we worked with architecture students from Kigali University and a rural elementary school outside the village of Jabana in Rwanda to design and build a small playground. The project reused excess construction materials, cut-offs, site stone, and locally woven rope and netting to create a series of climbing structures, ramps to provide accessible pathways, slides, hammocks, and railings. The design was developed through play and conversations with elementary school students.
