Often we think of learning as something that happens in a classroom in front of a textbook, but environments for learning can be so much more diverse and inspiring.

At Hudson River Park, amongst towering skyscrapers and the hustle and bustle of New York City, you'll find two huge sturgeons.

With Christmas and the end of the year fast approaching, we're looking back at the year that has passed at MONSTRUM.

We've sent out some exciting projects recently - particularly a few stunning feathered friends - and we're delighted to see these playscapes realized out in the wild, bringing joy to communities.

For MONSTRUM, architectural playgrounds are innovative spaces that blend architecture and play, offering unique environments that become recognizable sculptures in the landscape and foster creative exploration.

Lilidorei is the much-anticipated and widely acclaimed new attraction at The Alnwick Garden in England, which opened its doors to eager visitors in spring 2023.

From humble beginnings in 2003, we've come a long way...

With helicopter parenting, increasingly strict safety rules & regulations, and increasing screen time - is risky play at threat of extinction?

Lilidorei is a magical, mysterious village full of play and home to the biggest play structure in the world.

Often art installations are surrounded by protective screens, barriers, and signs commanding "Do not touch!"...but that's the furthest thing from the case in this MONSTRUM art installation.

In the pursuit of gaining fresh insights and inspiration, we decided to conduct our first Expert Panel.

Designing for kids is designing for everyone

What if play has no agenda, goal or method?

We take a glance back at the year that has passed and the playground dreams that became reality.

Here in the Northern hemisphere, we're well into the autumn season and the days are getting notably shorter - a phenomenon that seems to take us by surprise every year! To promote play at all times of day, in every season, we have incorporated striking lighting features into several of our playground designs...

Success isn't child's play at MONSTRUM - but it's not far off! MONSTRUM have been commissioned to design three imaginative, colourful and artistic wooden playgrounds for the world exhibition Expo 2020 in Dubai.

Is it time for a playground revolution? We think so!

Tasked with capturing the spirit of the Affenzahn characters and inviting children to join their story, we created a super fun playground, where you can meet and explore the curious monkey, caring koala and courageous tigress.

Each year we help with a social project
