Museum of Ocean and Surf
Given the nature of the birth of our sport, it’s no surprise that a Museum of Ocean and Surf might draw inspiration from forms that inspire skaters as well. Seriously, it’s got to be a coincidence that it actually looks like a half pipe. There’s also allegedly a pool of sorts (see middle righr and bottom) but ironically enough, none of the surface of this structure appears to be actually skateable. I mean, that would have been something. See the Museum of Ocean and Surf in
Biarritz, France by Steven Holl Architects in collaboration with Solange Fabião.

Ow man;do you know how many roads in France and Belgium look like that? Stone paved roads suck…
The irony -again- is that you can easily drop in on a BMX,if you have enough balls.
Totally missing the point of the surface of this building / site… I´m an architect designing not buildings , but everything between and I would never create something so great and different and then absolutely unusable…
can someone explain??????
!Que viva freeride snowboarding!
