ryanpanos: Why Skateboarding Matters to Architecture From the beginning, architecture and skateboarding have had a troubled relationship. Since the 1970s, when skaters began appropriating public spaces for their own skating purposes, architects have been complicit with city officials in discouraging skateboarding, from placing uprights on benches or sticking unsightly “skate-stoppers” on level surfaces, and demanding their work be experienced as it was intended. Which is exactly the point (and joy) of skateboarding. As architect and skateboarder Bobby Young put it in “A Skateboarder’s Guide to Architecture or an Architect’s Guide to Skateboarding,” “An ambler sees a bench and sits on it? Exactly what the architect and designer intended. A skateboarder sees a bench and contemplates. How many different ways can I engage the form of this bench with my wooden board, metal trucks and four rubber wheels?”
I’d love a house like this.
