Aberrant Architecture is a London-based multi-disciplinary studio and think-tank that operates internationally in the fields of architecture, design, contemporary art, and cultural analysis.
Inspired by the architectural language of the great Dutch playground designer Aldo van Eyck (1918-99), Landscape for Play is a leisure-based proposal that shifts the shapes of the surrounding city to an interior space. To the question of how we can transform the urban space through play, Aberrant Architecture replies with structures, shapes, and colours that invite children of all ages to use this new place in an imaginative way.
The resulting interior landscape is composed of follies, crevices and different elevations which, although they make up a fantastic territory that can be used by the communities that come to Intermediae each day, don’t impose rigid restrictions in terms of how people must behave. This flexibility also means that the playground can be used as a setting for a range of activities during the months when it will be open.

Kevin Haley, the co-founder of Aberrant Architecture, said: “This playground is not just for Kids. Adults can also inhabit the spaces, create games and interact with their children.”
This Playground continues Intermediae Matadero’s work on childhood through commissions to interdisciplinary artists to design spaces for play. With these Playgrounds, Intermediae Matadero highlights the need to dedicate more spaces for children in contemporary cities.
