By
Ellen Eberhardt
Hot, fresh, and worth queueing round the block for.
Summary
Zenga Bros, a creative studio, has developed a concept called "rampitecture" that combines skateboarding half pipes with architectural elements inspired by local Waco, Texas architecture. For a skating event in Waco, they created cabin-like gathering spaces within skate ramps using wood shake and other local architectural features, blending functional skate structures with spectator spaces. The design was informed by childhood forts, surrounding Waco architecture, and previous projects, creating a unique fusion of skate culture and architectural design.
