As part of MBL Artchitectes initiative to transform an old industrial mill into a contemporary art spot for Galleria Continua in Boissy-le-Châtel, France, the studio partnered with Bureau David Apheceix to construct a skatepark in a sea of construction remnants, horticultural plants, and wild endemic species.
The
Skatepark Continua project was created to introduce and blend a community of rolling sports enthusiasts with the contemporary art scene in order to celebrate a new sense of gathering in the area.
MBL architects drew inspiration from the fluidity of skatepark designs in the 1970s on the premise of non-standard architecture. The construction of the skatepark dabbles into spraying wet concrete onto metal frames, then pulled and smoothed into preferred shapes before it sets.
