Playing is one of the most important tools for children to explore his/her connection with the world. The role of play is very significant in children’s physical, psychological, mental, and social development. However, today two major facts keep children in more indoors slowing down/weakens the establishment of this connection. The first is industrialized cities and the second is the digital world. Thus, to motivate children to return to outdoor play and playgrounds, engaging and attractive play experience should be created for them. It can be claimed that traditional playgrounds do not meet the needs of today’s children. This paper examines the role of bio-morphology in designing modern and creative playgrounds that could meet the needs of today’s children. This study claims that, the colors, patterns, forms and structures in nature can provide new approaches to design of novel playgrounds for today’s children. Biomorphic design approach can offer forms and structures that may create “affordances” for children of digital age. Through this hypothesis, the examination of Voronoi diagrams into the design process of playground with digital design tools a playground was designed, discussed within the context of creating “affordances” for children and final designs was subjected to expert evaluations.

Zabawa jest bardzo istotna w rozwoju fizycznym, psychicznym, poznawczym i społecznym dzieci, stanowi przy tym jedno z najważniejszych narzędzi w odkrywaniu ich relacji z bliższym i dalszym otoczeniem. Ze względu na atrakcyjność świata cyfrowego, dzisiejsze dzieci dużo czasu spędzają w pomieszczeniach, co nie sprzyja nauce budowania związków międzyludzkich i podnoszeniu własnej sprawności. Dlatego też warto dzieci motywować do powrotu na świeże powietrze, tworząc dla nich atrakcyjne place zabaw, które mogą być użytkowane w niestandardowy i kreatywny sposób. W niniejszym artykule przeanalizowano rolę biomorfologii w projektowaniu nowoczesnych placów zabaw, które mogłyby stanowić wyzwanie dla dzieci. Okazuje się bowiem, że kolory i wzory występujące w naturze mogą stanowić inspiracje w nowym podejściu do projektowania urządzeń dziecięcych zabaw. Zaobserwowano też, że biomorfologia może oferować formy i struktury, które służą „afordancjom” rozumianym jako interakcje ze środowiskiem. Mając na uwadze wskazane spostrzeżenia, przedstawiono autorski projekt placu zabaw, który powstał przy użyciu diagramów Woronoja. Projekt został poddany ocenie ekspertów, którą również zaprezentowano w artykule.
