Richard Dattner and Adventure Playground in “Playground of My Mind”

Dattner Architects’ Adventure Playground is featured in the new autobiographical book, Playground of My Mind, by the artist Julia Jacquette. The book details the rise of adventure playgrounds, a movement led by our very own Richard Dattner. Jacquette recalls in a recent New York Times article how it wasn’t New York City’s “gritty atmosphere” that was influential to her, but rather the “playground renaissance” during her youth that truly informed her art.
