Skateparks are not only sporting grounds for activity. For
young people in particular, they fulfil various social func-
tions beyond sport. David Andreu, with the help and ad-
vice of Luka Melloni ( Vulcano Skateparks ) has compiled a
selection of international skateparks with a special spirit,
spaces designed and built by technical teams and practis-
ing sportsmen and women.
This beautiful volume reviews the most important works
of the top designers of recent years, those who are lead-
ing the way in the design and conceptualisation of these
special spaces.
The book is a useful tool for architects, designers, land-
scapers, builders, urban planners and of course for all
skateboarders around the world who want to keep up to
date with the skateparks, ramps and pumptracks that have
recently been built for their use and enjoyment.
