Not sure the skatepark story is as interesting. The joy of this series is how Ted explains how the architectural and social histories of these spaces was interrupted and reinterpreted by skateboarders.
I suppose you could tie Livi into the new town story.
I think it’s of equal value and is as interesting but it’s just a different topic. Although, I can see that the subject matter wouldn’t have the same wide reaching appeal that the street spot thing does.
I posted an Iain Borden and Patrick Sean Quinn interview in the Concrete Reality thread a week back. It mentions Livi, Rom, Kennington, Harrow and a bunch of others in respect to the preservation and documenting of the heritage of second wave (late 70’s - early
80’s ) parks. Those guys could do a pretty good job of covering that side of things if they chose to.
