Save the Skatepark!

This is not a campaign per say, but a call to show that a fragile ecosystem cannot be disturbed without consequence. The skatepark and associated activities such as adventure sports in a way create the need for youngsters to visit NDSM and become a part of it. NDSM represents subdued interests, and that is how the artist community started years ago. However, things have changed. It is no more about open doors and a shared social space, but exists as a ghost town through the week. Festivals are what breath life into NDSM. Festivals and the daily influx of youngsters who come to skate, use the space as they like, experience space in a city, experience freedom.

The Proposal

The proposal calls for the design of an outdoor skate-park, which should be flexible enough to accommodate associated sports such as BMX biking and climbing walls. This dynamic landscape will not consume space but give back to the site through covered parking spaces. The site is close to the headquarters of two media and adventure sports giants – MTV and Redbull, which would sponsor the project for exclusive/shared media rights.
