FIRST YEAR
School of Architecture of the Pontificia Universidad Catolica Madre y Maestra, through the course Architectural Design 5, make an approach with some leaders the initiative "Pro skatepark construction of Santo Domingo", which seeks to give space to a lot of sports of skateboarding, inline skating and BMX that until now no formal space where training or socializing perform properly.
As a first step in this academic exercise students designed a strategy to promote the values \u200b\u200band skills of the skaters, as a way to counteract negative perceptions that society has of the skaters. The values \u200b\u200bthat were identified are: BELONGING, respect, independence, AUTHENTICITY, solidarity, responsibility, commitment, passion, loyalty, EFFICIENCY, perseverance, fortitude, dedication and creativity
Students placed actual users of the Skatepark in Santo Domingo Tropical Allan, TNT, Oche, Jose Miguel, Tara, Mark, etc-the interviewed, photographed and filmed in action. From the interaction with the skaters, the students created an image that represents the value spatially identified in them.
intention of this exercise is to understand deeply the aspirations of users and projects to the society so that it can then take the proposal of a SK8 park that goes beyond the "solar" and become isolated relevant public space.
