Isamu Noguchi started designing playgrounds early in his career, approaching this space as a potential for building a sculptural landscape. This one, erected in Atlanta (whatwhat) in 1976, is the only full playground that ever materialized. It's beautiful and specifically functional-- I think those orange traingles are swingsets. I might add that the play ground has started to rust and has acquired some graffiti over the past 30 years, but I think the aging process is pretty cool.
