A guiding principle at the Museum has been the idea that design could improve the world. In 1963, MoMA’s Junior Council teamed up with the Park Association to propose a new playground for the Cypress Hills neighborhood in east Brooklyn that would serve as both an easily maintained, safe, and durable playground, and a form of public art. Designed by architect Charles Forberg and completed in 1967, the playground was a maze of concrete slabs, forming a circle around curved concrete structures to climb around and slide down.
