Architecture on the Edge in Paradise
Skateparks have become a vital resource for the communities they serve. All ages enjoy the benefits of skateboarding, and young men and women in particular benefit from the focus and self-discipline they develop while learning new skills on the deck. Author David Andreu, with guidance from Luka Melloni (Vulcano Skateparks) has compiled a selection of international skateparks exhibiting a unique spirit, spaces designed and built by technical teams and honed through skaters’ feedback. Featuring the most important works of contemporary designers -
those who are leading the way in the design and conceptualisation of these special spaces- this thoughtful volume collects the most important work of contemporary skatepark designers.
The book is a useful tool for architects, designers, landscapers, builders, urban planners and will also be of interest to skaters seeking to understand the current zeitgeist in skatepark design.
