10年来，MBL architectes一直致力于将法国Boissy-le-Châtel的一个前工业工厂逐步改造成Galleria Continua的一个当代艺术场所。该项目开始于2013年，旨在保持和保护该地典型的工业废墟。倒下的建筑的残余物，通过园艺植物的存在和野生特有物种的发展，与工业建筑的多样性融合在一起并成长。
For 10 years now, MBL architectes has been working on the progressive transformation of a former industrial mill in Boissy-le-Châtel, France, into a contemporary art venue for Galleria Continua. Started in 2013, the project aims to maintain and preserve the industrial wasteland, typical of the site. Residues of fallen down constructions, underlined by the presence of horticultural plants and the development of wild endemic species, merge and grow alongside the diversity of industrial buildings.
Skatepark Continua的项目是在对滑板文化产生的空间进行研究之后进行的，该研究导致了一份出版物和2016年在法国Hyères的Villa Noailles举办的展览。这项研究帮助我们了解滑板公园在一个地区的发展中可能具有的结构化作用。与人们对这种专业设备的想象不同，滑板公园确实引发了不同人群的聚集。
The project for Skatepark Continua follows research conducted on the spaces produced by skate cultures, which resulted in a publication and an exhibition at Villa Noailles in Hyères, France, in 2016. This research helped us understand the structuring role that a skatepark can have in the development of a territory. Unlike what one could suppose of such specialized equipment, skateparks do trigger the gathering of a diverse population.
滑板公园是儿童和家长的聚会点，是练习各种滚动运动的操场，也是最勤奋的滑板训练的空间，滑板公园建立了临时的社区，以及持久的友谊。它们能够产生一种 “公共生活 “的形式，这使得在这个地方建造滑板公园首先是如此的相关。它为画廊的场所带来了新的公众，他们并不总是熟悉当代艺术，并为附近的居民提供了一个聚会空间。
A meeting point for children and parents, a playground for the practice of all sorts of rolling sports, and a space for the most assiduous training of skateboarding, skateparks build temporary communities, as well as lasting friendships. Their ability to generate a form of “public life” made the construction of the skatepark on this site so relevant in the first place. It brought a new public to the premises of the gallery, not always familiar with contemporary art, and offered a gathering space to nearby residents.
Skatepark Continua的建造探索了湿混凝土的可能性。在场地本身，金属框架被组装和焊接。新鲜的混凝土被直接喷洒在金属钢筋上，然后在凝固前被拉动并抹平到所需的形状。主要是经验性的，滑板公园的制作主要归功于负责赋予其形状的泥瓦匠的灵巧。施工现场是以表演的方式进行的，庆祝一个项目和一个场地的相遇。
The construction of Skatepark Continua explores the possibilities of wet concrete. On the site itself, metal frames were assembled and welded. Fresh concrete was sprayed directly onto metal reinforcement, then pulled and smoothed to the desired shapes before it set. Mainly empirical, the fabrication of the skatepark is largely due to the dexterity of the mason-skaters in charge of giving it shape. The construction site was conducted in the manner of a performance that celebrated the encounter of a project and a site.
在设计这个项目时，出现了一个愿望，即探索1970年代第一批滑板公园的流动性特征。在前数字时代，早期滑板公园的发现或建造的形式预示着参数化建筑将在本世纪初设法建模和普及的几何学。该项目探索了这一史前史，即非标准建筑的经验性前提。
While designing this project, a desire emerged to explore the fluidity characteristic to the first skateparks of the 1970s. In pre-digital times, the found or constructed forms of early skateparks prefigured the geometry that parametric architecture would manage to model and popularize at the beginning of our century. The project explores this prehistory, the empirical premises of non-standard architecture.
滑板公园被设计成一个连续的带状，避免了任何僵硬的划分，旨在成为一个景观的结构。沿着穿过工业用地的旧铁轨延伸，滑板公园沉浸在树木和灌木丛中。它连接着这片被扭曲的土地上的建筑。原始混凝土的弧形线条巧妙地勾勒出椴树、杨树、桦树和菩提树的影子。在没有任何形式的设计预想的情况下，滑板公园的形状适应了地面和现有植被的特点。
Designed as a continuous strip, avoiding any rigid delineation, the skatepark is meant to be a structure for the landscape. Stretching along the old railway tracks that cross the industrial site, the skatepark is immersed in trees and bushes. It connects buildings on this distended territory. The curved lines of raw concrete subtly outline the shadows of lime trees, poplars, birches, and buddleias. Without any form of preconceptions about its design, the shape of the skatepark adapts to the specificities of the ground and the existing vegetation.
