Instead of focusing on the finished product, Holman wants the acts of playing and building to be a child's goal when engaging with the workyard kit -- making playtime about the journey, not the destination.
The various pieces included in the High Line Children’s Workyard kit may be joined together to create a giraffe, monster, robot, airplane or whatever “thingy” (in the designer’s own words) kids may dream up. Children may also form a structure that can convey buckets of materials. But instead of focusing on the finished product, Holman wants the acts of playing and building to be a child’s goal when engaging with the workyard kit — making playtime about the journey, not the destination. She developed the Workyard Kit in collaboration with Early Learning Educators and Friends of the High Line, and the kit “reflects the High Line’s industrial history and simple, honest materiality.”
