The beginning of the 20th century brought discourse on the issue of a new “culture of recreation” and the phenomenon of a relatively new invention – the playground. Play – caring for the body and the spirit – interacted in the work of all the great modernists, and the pope of modernism himself, Le Corbusier. Non-existent now, brutalist playgrounds have become a subject for exhibitions: the play of the new creators-artists, and their game with their antecedents and the contemporary audience.
