Meadow and Stream Climbing Structure

The T-shaped work comprises low undulating strips of concrete on which ceramic reliefs symbolise a summer meadow (yellow and orange flowers, butterflies, the sun) and from beneath which a stream flows (ceramic ripples in shades of blue and turquoise). 

The gently curved concrete waves of varying heights are suitable for climbing, jumping, and sitting. 

The sculptural play element is situated on sloping terrain near the Dúbrava pedestrian zone and an older, more typical, playground. The playground remains neglected, although new wooden play and exercise elements have been added nearby. 

In material and style, the work corresponds to the Fairytale Cubes that are situated next to the pedestrian zone about 100 metres below. 

Note: As of 2022, the pedestrian zone is being renovated and extended. 

Research status as of 15.11.2022.
