Summary:
Skateboarders are an increasingly common feature of the urban environment - recent estimates total 40 million world-wide. We are all aware of their often extraordinary talent and manoeuvres on the city streets. This book is the first detailed study of the urban phenomenon of skateboarding. It looks at skateboarding history from the surf-beaches of California in the 1950s, through the purpose-built skateparks of the 1970s, to the street-skating of the present day and shows how skateboarders experience and understand the city through their sport. Dismissive of authority and convention, skateboarders suggest that the city is not just a place for working and shopping but a true pleasure-ground, a place where the human body, emotions and energy can be expressed to the full.

Summary:
Une vague de morosité s'abattit sur les villes françaises au cours des années 1970. En fait, depuis dix ans déjà, l'incertitude avait gagné les milieux de l'architecture et de l'urbanisme, laissant désemparés ceux qui s'étaient ralliés d'enthousiasme au Mouvement moderne et constataient brutalement que ses charmes s'étiolaient. Les vieilles villes y trouvèrent une rédemption. Mais cette brutale révision doctrinale, qui glorifiait la longue durée et proclamait que l'histoire garantissait l'avenir, compliquait évidemment la tâche de ceux qui ne pouvaient s'en prévaloir. Elle rendait spécialement angoissante la situation des villes qui avaient connu une brutale interruption de leur destinée et qu'il avait fallu reconstruire. Déjà, pour d'obscures raisons, leur souvenir était remisé dans la médiocre catégorie des réalisations de l'urgence, dépourvues d'inspiration et de ressources. Elles rencontraient même la défiance de leurs habitants taraudés par la nostalgie ou le regret et la critique des spécialistes dépités que leur relèvement rient manifesté plus d'audace. Pourtant, ces villes sans mérite apparent constituaient un remarquable laboratoire pour interroger les raisons mêmes de l'urbain et leur relation au passé. Surtout, leur incapacité hâtivement proclamée à offrir des conditions propices à l'épanouissement d'un espace public satisfaisant rejoignait l'actualité d'une question qui ne pouvait espérer un plus vaste champ d'élucidation. Brest fut alors pionnière. On y conduisit des recherches originales ponctuées d'hypothèses qui justifièrent des expérimentations inédites et à très grande échelle. La plus ambitieuse d'entre elles, la plus spectaculaire et la plus commentée, la plus polémique aussi, mit à contribution des artistes parmi les plus en vue de l'époque ou à l'aube de leur œuvre, invités ou surgis spontanément. Bien loin en l'occurrence du rôle " d'enlumineurs " de la ville qu'on leur concédait parfois, ils furent promus acteurs principaux de sa transfiguration morale. A la reconstruction architecturale, jugée responsable de bien des maux réels ou psychosomatiques, on opposait ainsi une " reconstruction mentale " capable pensait-on d'apporter un supplément d'âme et de conduire à l'apaisement. En relatant et commentant les trois décennies de cette saga brestoise, l'intention est bien d'éclairer quelques questions universelles, auxquelles l'urbanisme se trouve confronté, et d'apprécier le secours que l'art et les artistes peuvent lui apporter.

Summary:
The way public spaces are designed reflects the period in which they were created. However, in our globalized world of experience and images the desire for uniqueness tends to achieve the opposite: increasingly, designers of open spaces resort to the same devices and thereby distance themselves from the urban context. The author analyzes ten outstanding contemporary designs of public spaces in Europe in terms of their function in the urban context and what materials are used for their implementation. In interviews with the designers she retraces the changes of the concepts during the design stage of the projects, underpinning her findings with numerous sketches. In addition, her research focuses on how the projects were received in the community. A topical introduction to the design of public spaces.
