SkateArt

Abstract

SkateArt is a unique cultural centre in Città dello Sport of Tor Vergata, in the suburbs of Rome, that supports and combines art and sport. It is a safe place where its customers can discover street art and practice skateboarding, two activities that connect and stimulate people to action, and that will be combined as never before. Part of Città dello Sport will be rebuilt and transformed into an amazing cultural centre, with indoor and outdoor skateboarding ramps, meeting areas, a street art space, rentable rooms and a cafeteria. Therefore, SkateArt is an opportunity for young people, the main customers of the centre, but also for the city: Città dello Sport of Tor Vergata is now abandoned and its rebuilding has the power to rehabilitate the neighbourhood.
