personal space with intimate and subjective meaning . The skateboarder responds to everyday architecture and appropriates new edits , mappings , meanings and actions . Skateboarding denies the standardisation and repetition of the city as the serial production of building types , functions and discrete objects ; it decentres building-objects in time and space in order to re-compose them in a strung-out yet newly synchronous arrangement . Skateboarding creates maps composed from the opportunities offered by the physical and emotional contours of the city and are enacted through new spaces and moments . Architects must understand that pedestrians use the city to create moments that are different to what is intended . Architects should encourage the ability for spatial appropriation , in order to allow social freedom and experience . By understanding appropriation as important to architecture , architects may begin to focus on the experience of space as opposed to the object . Skateboarders take over and consume space conceptually as well as physically , and thus strike at the heart of what everyone else understands the city to be . The skateboarder dissolves the physicality of the modern city into the imagination of another micro-space . When applied to architecture , architects must question what is conventionally understood as the city and this will help to shape new appreciations of appropriation and spatial meaning .”
All skateboarders should be familiar with the constantly changes of our cities and on the other hand with the attitude to live and share life with other citizens and dwellers .
