Vertical Labyrinths

The VERTICAL LABYRINTH series has been designed by the urban architect Carlos Martín Lamoneda, with broad experience in the rehabilitation of consolidated urban avenues and squares in the city, and green areas of river beds. This series is designed based on the needs and spatial limitations that the urban planner encounters when rehabilitating an urban space. The aim is to create urban sculptural elements that provide, based on the experiences they offer, a dynamic facility for social and neighbourhood relations, and an economic activator for the premises on the ground floor of the space where it is located. Based on the principle of safety, psychomotor stimulation, and experiential paths, the LABERINTOS VERTICALES series seeks to guarantee the safety of children at all times, given that at no time is there a fall height greater than 1 metre. At the same time, it offers the experience of vertical climbing, psychomotor stimulation of coordination and balance for those who enter, and play and physical exercise. Through the psychomotor skills of “contrasts”, going up-down, appearingdisappearing, entering-exiting, the series offers continuous routes through “experiences”, like a treasure hunt, with entrances and spaces for understanding and decompression, and exits through slides and vertical bars. Its design seeks to stimulate the passage of the stages of child development, confidence, and “coming out into life”, typical of the stages of childbirth and its development towards the child’s autonomy. All of this in a compact and vertical proposal that occupies the least possible urban space, so that they can be integrated into linear sidewalks and small urban squares in cases of limited space, and large squares and children’s areas when there is ample urban space.
