Each element promotes a child’s development in the physical, social, or cognitive dimension. Over time, the trees grow and intertwine with the rings in symbiosis. Although a ring is simple, it opens endless possibilities.

Based on an actual site near a preschool in Jurong West, Ringscape reimagines the future of playgrounds in Singapore as a way to connect the next generation of children to nature.

A ring can make nature more approachable and inviting. By varying the orientation and elevation of the rings, some elements prompt children to touch the tree, while others guide them to observe the leaves, branches, and roots up close.
