An interactive children’s playground, designed with electronic gaming to draw kids outdoors, has taken out the top prize in the 2011 Australian International Design Awards, presented by Good Design Australia.
Awarding the Kompan design with the top honour in Melbourne was the easiest decision the judges made, said Brandon Gien, chairman of the awards.
“It not only ticks every single box from a design and excellence perspective but this is an example of where design thinking is really going to make a positive impact on society. It breaks new ground,” he said.
