Located in Daelim2-dong, Seoul—a neighborhood characterized by high cultural diversity—Playful Edge proposes a new approach to public space that fosters inclusion and interaction. The project responds to the rigid separations often found in urban design by introducing a series of edge modules inspired by everyday urban forms such as storefronts, pedestrian paths, and city skylines. These modules, designed as concavo-convex shapes, redefine boundaries not as limits but as spaces of possibility—elastic, permeable, and socially engaging.

As people move along these sculpted edges, they naturally drift into shared zones that accommodate various community functions: children's play, sports, casual gatherings, and performances. The arrangement allows these areas to expand or contract depending on need, encouraging spontaneous interaction and layered use. Rather than imposing a fixed program, the playground evolves with the rhythms of the neighborhood, offering a soft and adaptable framework that embraces the complexities of urban life and cultural coexistence.
