  • A 6,800m2 creative interactive playground, designed by international firm 100Architects, has opened in Coastal Quang Ngai, Vietnam.
  • The playground draws inspiration from the image of a bird flying from land to sea, symbolizing the region's nature, culture, and life.
  • It features a central "giant seashell" experience area designed to encourage exploration, interaction, and connection among visitors of all ages.

A new 6,800-square-meter interactive playground, designed by the renowned international architecture studio 100Architects, has opened in the Coastal Quang Ngai urban area in Vietnam, aiming to redefine children's play spaces.

Globally, playgrounds are evolving beyond mere amenities to become vibrant community hubs that foster creativity and shape urban lifestyles. This trend is now arriving in Quang Ngai with a facility designed by 100Architects, a firm celebrated for creating iconic play areas worldwide. Their previous projects include Rubix Square in Jiangxi, Wired Scape in Guangzhou, and Creek Play in Dubai.

100Architects is known for transforming playgrounds into "destination landmarks" that offer unique experiences. Their design philosophy emphasizes creating spaces that encourage movement, exploration, and multi-generational interaction, moving away from traditional fixed structures and play patterns.

Inspired by the image of a bird soaring from the coast's mangrove forests towards the sea, the Coastal Discovery Park's design narrates the story of Quang Ngai's nature, culture, and people. The central feature is an "experience hub" shaped like a giant seashell, with spiraling pathways leading to various interactive elements like a wish tree, relaxation nooks, and observation decks.

Marcial Jesus Hernandez Baghetti, founder and design director of 100Architects, stated that the project's value lies in its ability to encourage longer stays, deeper exploration, and shared experiences. The design incorporates QR codes for continuously updated digital storytelling, blending physical play with a digital layer.

The most valuable aspect of the project lies not in its architectural form, but in how it makes people want to stay longer, explore more, and connect with each other through shared experiences. The experience center is not just a starting point for the journey, but also has QR codes to tell interactive stories, continuously updated with technology. Therefore, the playground not only has a physical aspect but also a digital experience layer.
