Play & Design From Cameroon 12 Prototypes inspired by Theme of Playing

During the 'CAMon! Project' workshop led by Italian architects Michele Brunello, Marco Brega, and Andrea Angeli's, students at the Libre Academie des Beaux-arts Douala in Cameroon learned how simple games can also be a formidable design tool. Through Stefano Graziani's colour photographs, this book features the 12 games resulting from the students' designs. The texts address the theme of playing from different perspectives, highlighting the relationship between design, education and cooperation. Each game - puppets, puzzles, masks, and mazes - has a strong empathic value, based on imagination and a broader exploration of reality.
