Proposal for cardboard fixtures that encourage children's independent play
Based on observations of play in after-school places, two spatial elements that elicit independence are extracted, and a set of fixtures that can be configured in a compatible manner with these elements and a set of parts that assist children's behaviour is proposed. The behaviour caused by perceiving oneself as the manager of the playground is also considered as 'play', and such behaviour is encouraged by experiencing the contribution to the place and by having an attachment to the place.

Proposal for furniture for children to reduce resistance to tidying up in after-school indoor play spaces When children are absorbed in crafts and play, children tend to refuse to interrupt their play and do not want to tidy up, even when adults encourage them to do so. This study proposes furniture for children that aims to reduce their resistance to tidying up. Demonstration tests were conducted at the after-school indoor play space 'Kira Kira Kidz club' in Sumida-ku, Tokyo.
