Workyard Kit
Workyard Kit
The precursor to the Rigamajig building kits, Cas created the Children's Workyard Kit in 2011 for New York City's High Line Park. Designed to facilitate more play in the park, the collection of wooden planks, wheels, pulleys, bolts, and rope allowed children to follow their curiosity and build whatever they imagined rather than directing play toward a particular end goal.
Developed in collaboration with Early Learning Educators and Friends of the High Line, the Workyard Kit reflects the High Line’s industrial history and simple, honest materiality.
