the right to rest: how cities make room for play
['Kat Barandy I Designboom']

Parks and public baths answer through open space and water, while plazas create room for the looser activity of being among other people.
They give unclaimed time a permanent location and allow rest to become a shared urban experience.
Rest occupies the same ground as play, which thus gives an underused piece of public housing landscape a broader social role.
Permanent leisure architecture requires more than a persuasive installation.
The right to rest is built through architecture, then sustained by the rules that govern who may occupy it and for how long.
