| Sumario: | [EN] The irruption of alternative sports in the city calls not only for the construction of dedicated public space, but also for the integration of their practice within the urban grid as opposed to consigning them to the city outskirts or marginal neighborhoods. The construction of such spaces furthermore poses challenges that revolve around the durability and construction complexity of the surfaces needed for the exercise of the sport. In the particular case of skateboarding, this construction involves either placing prefabricated modules on horizontal screeds or executing “in situ” all its surfaces -i.e. energy collectors, tricks and sliding surfacein concrete. This article describes the designing and execution of complex geometries in a skatepark in conjunction with the commitment to the use of concrete due to its durable response (in terms of joints, seat and abrasion) as opposed its more economical alternative: prefabricated modules. Furthermore, this article thoroughly elaborates on the shotcrete´s process applied on the inclined surfaces and curves involved in the execution of a skateplaza. This constitutes an important contribution of this work, as the details involving this type of execution are scarce in the literature, especially with regards to indications of dosage and implementation of gunite as a final sliding finish. |
