Photovoltaic cells integrated into the canopy capture and store solar energy during daylight hours. Through

an automated system, the accumulated energy is

distributed into LED lights located on the swings.

Moreover, accelerometers installed within each swing

directly respond to the acceleration forces and tilt

exerted by users.

When the swings are not moving, they emit soft white

light, thanks to the energy collected during the day.

As the swings increase in momentum from a static

position, a microcontroller adjusts the LED output

through a gradient scale from white blue to purple.

The responsive elements of Swing Time invite users

to interact with the swings and with each other. The

overall theme of Swing Time is to entice people of all

ages to engage in active public play.

Public play creates a community laboratory and raises

awareness of energy consumption and production.

-The urban playscape is composed of 18 welded
-polypropylene swings, which hang under a customfabricated
-solar canopy. The swings are designed
-in three different sizes so that the community can
-engage and play with Swing Time as individuals or in
-groups.
-Swing Time uses solar energy harvested from a
-series of photovoltaic cells that translate UV rays into
-electrical illumination.
-Responsive in real-time to environmental conditions,
-the playscape’s illumination corresponds to a daily
-accumulation of solar power, translating UV rays into
-a visual register that indexes the abundance of solar
-energy.
