SKATING OVER IT
This was a live project at the start of the 2nd year.
The challenge was to design an indoor skate park for FLO - an indoor skate park in Nottingham that was looking to relocate. The site was within an existing Grade II listed building and a part of bigger master-plan that we had to work with.
During multiple visits at the skate park I was able to ask question the owners of FLO as well as the skaters that used the space. It enabled me to get to know the skateboarding culture and create a project that identified and replied to needs and challenges of both the users and unusual site.
My project was chosen to be a part of the exhibition that FLO owners were putting together in order to talk with Nottingham CIty Council to show how the building can be reused as skate park.
