The Playground of the Third Landscape:

Abstract

This article defines a prospective playful-urban study across the following concepts: a) Third Landscape by Clement and Terrain Vague by Sola-Morales, from landscape and architecture. b) The practices of Junk Playgrounds conceptualized through play studies. c) The idea of playful animal experience from a non-speciesist perspective that comes from animal studies. With all this, a specific work proposal on the playground in unattended urban environments is conceptually defined, which joins the multispecies agenda and helps to enrich the institutional programs from which the rewilding of cities is being regulated. Finally, the article defines the potential that this proposal contains in a specific Third Landscape in the city of Alcalá de Henares, which allows the evaluation of the enunciated practice.
