From the Piedmont Park website:
The Noguchi Playscape, located near the 12th Street Gate, was designed by world-renown artist and sculptor Isamu Noguchi (1904 – 1988), under the aegis of the High Museum and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts. Completed in 1976, Playscapes is the only Noguchi-designed playground completed in his lifetime. Noguchi playgrounds are aspects of what he called “the sculpture of spaces”, intended to make sculpture a useful part of everyday life. Piedmont Park’s Playscapes familiarizes children with shapes, colors and textures.
Is that not the wackiest swing you’ve ever seen? As soon as I saw the slide, I wanted to take photos around the playground. I love to see art in everyday function.
I have so many stories about Atlanta to tell (all good), but I need to catch up on sleep first…
