The P.S.B3 [Public School Non-Site Specific Biodiversity Bouldering Baby] Wall involves the construction of a new non-site specific mobile children’s ecological / educational climbing wall installation.
The prototype would double as a platform for inventing and testing new material technologies for innovating traditional climbing wall systems. The project was designed in collaboration with Method Design.
