In the \u201870s, similar \u2018kidney\u2019 pools, distinctly different from the rectangular pools that had previously glistened as symbols of the \u2018good life\u2019 across the suburban landscape of California, became small sanctuaries for skaters during the state\u2019s 1975 drought: armed with nothing but their boards and roaring confidence, the skaters illegally broke into properties with empty pools, sailing over fences to throw a few tricks against these little havens. In these backyards, architecture and skateboarding developed an unexpected friendship that still reigns.<\/p>\n<p>Having spent more time than most looking at urban- and cityscapes, questioning the possibilities of space, and going against the norm, we take a look at the contemporary architects and collaborative groups engaging with this free spirited subculture, revamping spaces while making sure that they are fit for purpose.<\/p>\n<p>Increasingly, skateparks have brought about new perspectives on space and layout, particularly surrounding how individuals and space can interact, that is, how we can perform with \u2013 rather than simply live in \u2013 the space that surrounds us. Danish studios <a href=\"http:\/\/cebraarchitecture.dk\" target=\"_blank\">CEBRA<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glifberglykke.com\" target=\"_blank\">Glifberg+Lykke<\/a> have explored this interaction, creating an igloo-shaped street sports centre and skatepark, titled \u2018StreetDome\u2019, on the harbour front of Haderslev, Denmark. Along the banks, stairs and slopes of the green-tiered dome, which grows out of the park\u2019s concrete landscape, skaters discover new flows, rhythms and combinations, breathing new life into this once forgotten corner of Denmark. Inside, the series of pools scooped out of the floor \u2013 featured next to a street basket court and central boulder structure \u2013 are a continuation of this little skate mecca.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-43269\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA.jpg?resize=580%2C386\" alt=\"CEBRA\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA.jpg?resize=600%2C399&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA.jpg?resize=680%2C452&amp;ssl=1 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-43270\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-2.jpg?resize=580%2C386\" alt=\"CEBRA 2\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-2.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-2.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-2.jpg?resize=600%2C399&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-2.jpg?resize=680%2C452&amp;ssl=1 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-3.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-43272\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-3.jpg?resize=580%2C386\" alt=\"CEBRA 3\" width=\"580\" height=\"386\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-3.jpg?w=700&amp;ssl=1 700w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-3.jpg?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-3.jpg?resize=600%2C399&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/staging.centmagazine.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/CEBRA-3.jpg?resize=680%2C452&amp;ssl=1 680w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Images, taken by Mikkel Frost, courtesy of CEBRA<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Kerameikos, downtown Athens, architect <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zachosvarfis.com\" target=\"_blank\">Zachos Varfis <\/a>has transformed a dilapidated courtyard in this historical area into a positive outlet for adult skaters with his design, known as the Latraac skate bowl.
