a public park and civic experiment
- Role: subject
- In the video: On a detour to Copenhagen before heading further north, Harries names Superkilen his favourite example of play designed into the city: “a public park and civic experiment designed to bring people together.” Its objects come from around the world: a Moroccan fountain, swings from Syria, neon signs from Russia and a Japanese slide shaped like an octopus.
- Why it matters: It is the video’s one concrete example. Harries takes it as a reminder that design “isn’t just aesthetic” but can foster inclusivity and belonging; without it, the Copenhagen segment would rest on general impressions of trees and swimmable water.
