below is an extract from "the poetics of security: skateboarding, urban design, and the new public space"; an essay by ocean howell.
"skateboarding is a thorn in the side of landscape architects, planners, and building owners; so much so that there are now design workshops that teach a series of defensive architectural tactics for deterring the activity."
what what?! but the urban landscape and architecture is our playground!
peace.
