i am trying to intertwine the idea of mutatoin of the playground environment as a child into the city as a playground of the adolsescent. (using architecture references from Aldo van Eyck, Team X and Constant)....
freud wrote about the changing perception of the world (starting to experience memory as a series of linked moments rather than fragmentory ones) and this will also play in i think.
so, any instant idea/response or pointers hugely hugely appreciated. he's given me two quotes as ideapointers "streets are immediate at hand. and it is legitimate to be in them" and about teenagers "beginning to assert their independance of the family, they are testing a societty of their own, and the street is the place for them" what i am wondering from you is any, if you have time, however brief, opinions on memory of your childhood local playground, when you moved from that to 'playing' outside of the playground's boundary, the memory of size,scale,material of the objects and playground monumnets within it (seesaw, frame etc etc), ideas of how you took childhood's perceptions of environment/navigation/scale/movement/monument into an adult cityscape environment and how they perhap transmogrified or mutated as you became adolescent and then adult. i know it seems really vague and open ended, but any input's appreciated, either for idea stimulation or for immediate point reference.
