Wikado
Architect: Superuse Studios
Location: Rotterdam
Completed: 2012
​
Jos de Krieger, partner at Superuse Studios runs design workshops on the principles and processes or ‘superuse’ designing from reusable ‘waste’ materials in architecture. The aim behind is to re-imagine playgrounds and urban furniture created from unwanted materials and waste from cities. For this project, the studio used windmill blades to create ‘wikado’ creating a robust outdoor furniture around an existing park. The project has created an alternative play scene space for the kids of Rotterdam.
​
the existing playground had been in bad shape, and the idea was to give the center's outdoor play area a makeover using recycled materials. With old windmills and modern wind turbines still very much a part of the Dutch landscape, this colourful playground takes a historical piece of the Dutch identity and deftly integrates it into the city.
