PhD Abstract: We intent to show how to create Physical entertainment/educational spaces for children. These spaces also referred to as "playgrounds" will allow children to explore outdoor contexts in natural environments through technological expressions, and contributing to Sustainable development. This way we can upgrade the child's educational field using interactive technological devices based on the primordial context of the child's development: the Pretend Play language. This specific architectural design brings children to a reconstruction of the concept of "street culture nature environments" helping them to construct their Cognitive, Emotional, Social and Motor development domains. A new methodology will be showed using Human and object interfaces.
