The site that we worked on was the Ayazaga Primary school unusable garden area so, the first problem that we need to solve was the area. The space was huge, and users had so many harmful activities in this area. Also, because of the channel between space and the school, the area was disabled.  We did not have enough material and time. We asked the question: How can the solutions that we thought about these. These problems gave design ideas. We decided to construct some elements which will allow the children to create their games. Besides, we wanted to design elements of the game, not a toy for children. With this idea, we made some topographic was for children to create their combinations. We decided to use concrete cubes for creating topographic waves on the surface.
