Public Space Design & Playfulness - Public spaces should integrate play activities like strolling, climbing, wandering, speaking, and punching to trigger user interaction [6] - The philosophy of play is evident across cultures, emphasizing freedom and joy [4] - Play is not a fiscal necessity or a moral duty; it is essentially freedom [4] - Integrating playfulness into design is essential for public spaces and architecture [16] Case Studies & Examples - Film Park (Taman Film) in Balong, designed under a highway, accommodates community streaming and public space usage with rice terrace forms [7] - Alon-alon Chichetto in Bandung, West Java, uses curved linear ribbons to animate movement and exploration [8][9] - Micro libraries, like the one in Sumara Sanjul Java made of food, use play as a design strategy to promote reading [13] - People Same, a commercial center, arranges volumes to generate alleyways and stairs, providing a combo experience and playful environment [14] User Interaction & Cultural Integration - Users creatively interact with designed spaces, rearranging elements and finding new ways to play [10][11] - Cultural integration is crucial in designing public spaces, going beyond basic elements to understand user needs [16] - The Kanakawans in Indonesian wayang performances remind people to always play and have fun [5] - Users play an important role in advocating for playfulness in public space design [17]
