PLAY Stretch boundaries. Deviate from the script. Roll up your sleeves. Gamble. Move forward. Get dirty. Be spontaneous. Turn something on its head. Throw out the rules. Improvise. Go for the win. Hang out in your own sandbox/treehouse/personal idyll. Play. It sounds innocent, but it's a loaded word. In this issue, we look at all the ways "play" influences the world of design. How new ways of thinking lead to new kinds of spaces. How the activities we engage in define us. How we can leverage the idea of "play" to spread the powerful lessons of design to everyone. Go ahead, press play. PERSPECTIVE 1
