dear designboom reader,

skate parks can be built in various locations, including inside a museum. in fact, visitors to the london design museum can now skate on a bespoke 3.5-foot mini ramp as part of an exhibition that delves into the evolution of skateboards. a concrete skate park is even situated at the intersection of a seafront, a residential neighborhood, a parking lot, and adjacent streets in cucq, france.

skate parks can also serve as functional elements of architecture. a residence in rosario, argentina, integrates a curved wooden skateboard ramp into its exterior design, transforming the outdoor deck into a curved runway and a canopy. even the digital world joins in by imagining skate parks as organic structures in city landscapes, this time amidst the dense urban fabric of paris.

thanks for reading!
