Skatepark Design

By Zach Moldof and Shane Yee

Skatepark Design is a first-of-its-kind analysis of skateparks, skate architecture, and the culture and rituals that define these unique spaces.

People have been building environments and structures for skateboarding for nearly 60 years, and in that time skateboarding has changed as much as the urban environment has. In this book authors Zach Moldof, and Shane Yee detail the history and development of skateparks and skate architecture, with a specific emphasis on what can be accomplished in the public commons.

This history sets the stage for the introduction of narratives, diagrams, and photos that detail intersections of theory, art, design, and skate architecture. Readers will find a systematic and organized presentation of important anthropological and procedural information, and the book serves as an encompassing primer ready to be deployed in a variety of creative and operational capacities.
