#1 distopian utopia?
esta es blanca, blanca es skater, y como muchos otros skaters, conquista la calle cada día sobre ruedas.
este primer número de manifest indaga en la relación entre el skate y la arquitectura. pero no se limita a lo conocido, la calle y la ciudad, sino que se plantea cómo ir más allá y conquistar la vivienda, o lo que es lo mismo, hacerla patinable.
bajo la premisa todo es patinable se diseña un primer acercamiento de vivienda llamado “utopía para mi mejor amiga” en el que se comienza a experimentar con conceptos como los espacios diáfanos, paredes móviles y módulos patinables versátiles. después, se procede al diseño de la torre de viviendas skater que se presenta en este zine.
el proyecto es un manifiesto, tal y como lo fueron el falansterio de charles fourier o las construcciones imposibles de isidoro valcárcel medina, en el que se refleja una manera de vivir y habitar alternativa (que va mucho más allá del patinar).
detrás de toda utopía hay una filosofía, y la nuestra, transforma completamente la vivienda. se readapta para cumplir con las necesidades de una comunidad utópica mayoritariamente skater.
se plantea la pregunta ¿dónde termina la calle y empieza el edificio? la respuesta pasa por domesticar el espacio público y crear un espacio doméstico comunitario. reconducir un edificio obsoleto y darle un uso nunca antes propuesto.
LET’S SKATE!
el skate y lo urbano están ligados de manera inalterable. la ciudad es el escenario donde el skate se desarrolla, y patinar transforma la manera de vivir y entender la ciudad.

#4 utopia para mi mejor amiga
¿cómo cambia la vivienda cuando vas sobre ruedas?
partimos de referencias como philipp schuster en su skate villa, la casita diy en málaga o john marello en crashing carroll’s. todos ellos cuentan con espacios de pequeña escala, en los que las circulaciones, recorridos y flujos convencionales de una casa se ven alterados completamente, para adaptarse a los movimientos del nuevo cuerpo al que acogen.
se comienza a entender la utopía y el espacio a través de las percepciones particulares de sus usuarios/habitantes

#6 origins skateboarding
what’s origins skateboarding?
same as this issue #1 of manifest skatezine, origins is skate architecture.
architecture & skateboarding live in a constant dialogue. they’ve always been and will be together, cause skateboarding doesn’t exist without architecture.
how does skateboarding redefine our cities?
in @origins_skateboarding you’ll find skate design, that meaning any spot, skateplaza, or any crazy idea of a space that could be somehow skateable.
you’ll also find skate architecture short stories /articles: skate urbanism, d.i.y. movement, ... are some of the topics we’re focused on.
do you know which cities integrate skateboarding in urbanism planning? did you know how pool skating was born? these and more here!

the origins of skateboarding
it’s impossible to understand actual skateboarding without architecture. alvar and aino aalto, finnish architects from the modern movement, changed the history of skateboarding and they did it 15 years before skateboarding was even born. their innovative design of the pool in villa mairea in 1938, with organic shapes and curves, would be accidentally the first skate bowl design.
. in late 50’s, more than 15 years later skateboarding showed up for the first time in california, and 40 years later pool skateboarding was born, mostly thanks to these architects. it looked like it was meant to be. in 1976 california suffered from a great drought, and pools became useless architectural artifacts. all these pools were identical to aalto’s pool, and they wouldn’t remain useless for long.
skaters gave a new purpose to aalto’s design, a new use they could have never guessed. cause architecture is unpredictable, and its possible uses unimaginable. it took a lot of years to make any skater dream true: to skate villa mairea pool. it wasn’t till 2014 that transworld skateboarding could make it, closing the circle of this skate·architecture story.
