Hurra Hurra x Bauhaus with Denisa Kollarová

A Hurra Hurra podcast special in cooperation with the Bauhaus Study
Rooms 2020: In this episode of Hurra Hurra Podcast featuring
Bauhaus Study Rooms Burg-student Verena Zimmermann talks with
Denisa Kollarová about her ongoing research project about
playgrounds in Amsterdam. With a special focus on Aldo van Eycks
approach on designing playgrounds, Kollarová gives a historical
insight of van Eycks revolutionary way of designing them in the
50’s and 60’ in Amsterdam. Why are they better than the ones we see
mainly nowadays? In this podcast, Denisa Kollarová shows us -
citizens, parents, designers, architects, city decision makers -
the importance of a high quality playground. #bauhausstudyrooms
