“Light in the dark” focuses on the connection between nature light, sight and playfulness. It explores the future of play for children after 100 years. It explains the world as the sun closer to our Earth may greatly increase the risk of children getting cancer, making the ground no longer suitable for staying long and playing. Moreover, when people move underground and cars are no longer to use, green footprint would be instead of. Therefore, most of the car park has been abandoned. To reuseable for space, the pick carpark will be transformed into a playground.

This project is heavily tied to its sense of site, which is in Melbourne University South Lawn Car Park. In this playground would use two rubrics of play: Simulation and vertigo.

Based on its curve circle shape, the development design continues using circle elements into the floor.

They are made by laser cut and 3D printing.

In this dark style carpark, light would be the other element in this design. One is natural sunlight and the other is technical light with solar panels and the energy collect from human heat.
