The article considers combined structures, a new principle of form development in spatial design. The characteristics and potentialities of this method for designing children's play environments are reviewed. A correlation analysis of modular and structural principles of form design as a basis for the creation of more complex structures is carried out. Similar approaches and treatments available in the theory are identified. It is emphasized that this approach to form could help diversify children's play environments and fill them with new meanings.

Pellegrini and Smith (1998) have provided a challenging review of the forms and possible functions of play during childhood, and Blatchford's (1998) paper on children's play reports a programme of research about the nature of play at school breaktimes that seems to be the sort of research that Pellegrini and Smith recommend in their conclusion, calling for more descriptive studies of children's play. When considering the nature and possible functioning of play during childhood Pellegrini and Smith explore general definitional issues. They suggest that play theorists such as Piaget and Vygotsky considered that play was the way that children learnt skills necessary for successful functioning in adulthood. Perhaps this is a simple way to express, for example, Vygotsky's (1978) descriptions of play in ‘The Role of Play in Development’ in Mind in society. Vygotsky states that in play a child creates an imaginary situation; that play is the place where a child spontaneously makes use of his ability to separate meaning from an object without knowing he is doing it. The creation of an imaginary situation is the first manifestation of the child's emancipation from situational constraints and the primary paradox of play is that the child operates with an alienated meaning in a real situation. Vygotsky may be describing an important skill for successful functioning in adulthood, but it is also an important function in childhood.

The relevance of research of the formation of children's play spaces is determined by the gradual transformation from small areas with sand near schools to the first attempts at a design approach to arranging such territories using iron structures and organizing a play environment for children of different ages and physical capabilities. Wartime had a negative impact on the development of gaming spaces, which resulted in the destruction of all iron equipment in the gaming spaces. However, there are positive sides, this period contributed to the development of children's imagination and the creation of adventure themes for games - plots, scenarios, quests began at this time. It is necessary to highlight the period after the war - "The era of novelty." When the playgrounds were traumatic and the equipment was poorly handled Much attention was paid to the safety of children in playgrounds and spaces. A huge step forward was the architectural and design influence, which manifested itself in the form of various forms of iron - rockets, ships, slides, creative tunnels and other figures that were placed in the play spaces. Americans were among the first to start creating entire theme parks (Oxland, California). A large number of artists built exhibits, frescoes, toys and sculptures in the park. The formation of a new architectural and design space on playgrounds has turned into the creation of whole theme parks and amusement parks. Special attention should also be paid to the transformation of children's playgrounds into family play spaces, where both parents and children were equally involved in the game process. This influenced the perception of children, their attitude towards parents and had a positive result in understanding the unity of the family. Each period of time XVIII-XX can be designated by different stages: social, economic, cultural and security stage. They were also due to political relationships between countries (war) and within countries. Thus, we can say that even unfavorable conditions in the country can have a positive effect on the development of children of different ages thanks to the play environment and adapted spaces for this pastime. Keywords: children's play spaces, playgrounds, children's games, history of play spaces, architectural design, formation.

Abstract The aim of this case study is to describe the social project "Wielkie nić / The Big Thread" - the creation of embroidered messages - which has many features in common with children’s play. Just like play, it needs space, time and rules, but at the same time, also a lot of freedom. And neither need spectators. Moreover, the project - like a form of symbolic play, where children use abstract things to represent reality - has a metaphorical significance. The threads, used for common embroidery, truly connect people. They realize how much they have in common and how they need each other. This can give a sense of unity and community and even change their consciousness.
