PROJECT PRESENTATION

The essential concepts of citizenship today are diversification.

greater integration of public spaces and their accessibility.

The self-interest of individuals to integrate into society and the environment

in all its breadth of physical, social, economic, and cultural form. And it
assume as part of daily life not just a house or an apartment
but inhabit a neighborhood, a district, a city, a country. And the
ways of interacting with society also expand to having
unexpected encounters with various people.

This leads to the need to create public spaces that integrate

different types of uses, especially to be able to carry out various
activities such as the discipline of extreme sports, which are
a considerable number of people who practice this kind of
sport in our country and it is increasing day by day.
These spaces are created through people's need to
carry out such sports in suitable spaces that meet all
the necessary characteristics to be able to progress and feel satisfied
with what they do, there is no defined way to carry out the
activities but rather these spaces create a way to do it according to
the needs and times that each person has, this is a space
open and socially integrated where anyone who wishes can
make good use of the facilities.

seriously damaged.

The construction of that park would be located in a public sector.

administered by some municipality of the province, as the focus is
that this space be public and freely accessible to the citizens of the region,
this aims to meet the needs of a large number of people
who practice this sport and who see it as an opportunity for
to get to know it and practice it by seeking a space for distraction and integration

1.2.- PROBLEMATIC TO BE SOLVED.

Having a civic park that includes a skate park is an opportunity

positive both for the athletes and for the city itself. On one hand,
contributes to the physical and mental aspect of athletes and also helps
to attract tourism.
 Extreme athletes need a place to practice without
danger. Having a skatepark, both skaters, skateboarders, and bikers,
could develop their skills to the fullest. In it, these athletes

they have to interact with each other, which causes them to develop in the
social part. Human relationships are promoted by being in contact

for the city. Many athletes from the rest of the city will feel
attracted to walk in the park, so tourism and advertising of the
city would increase. This brings other benefits with it, such as for example,
the SKATEPARK could be used for large and important activities
extremes, since they are not held in the city. In addition, they could be brought
 professional athletes from other parts of the country, which will be beneficial
for the city being covered by National press.

A SKATEPARK can have other uses. This would be positive for the
municipality since it could have more than one use. For example, it can serve
as a platform to set up a music show or some activity of
young people. It is a positive opportunity for both extreme athletes and
for the city itself.

The construction of a skatepark will give an added value to the city in terms of
international tourist city as it will have a new attraction that
important masses will be concentrated, internationally, in the city.

The development of the pre-feasibility of a skatepark in the city will help to

demonstrate all the positive aspects that would result from the construction of
this, the great contribution to the city and to the citizenship and the great development that
would encompass extreme sports in terms of their competitive level and their
diffusion.

Design of a skatepark for Florencio Varela
The project consists of designing a public skating rink for practicing
skateboarding, in the commune of Vitacura; in the city of Santiago de Chile. This
space seeks to provide a fun place for young people to gather and relax
and doing sport. The project includes both the design of the track and the studies
for the construction and production of the skatepark, communication with the users,
and the proper application of an identity to meet their expectations.

What is skateboarding?
Skateboarding is a sport that consists of sliding on a board with
wheels and while doing tricks lifting the board off the ground and making figures with
she in the air. To shorten it, it is simply designated as skate, which is also the
term used to name the skateboard, board on which it is practiced
skateboarding. It is related to surfing, street culture, and urban art,
but many skaters barely skate in streets and/or plazas. They are the 'ramperos',
who only skate on ramps. In fact, in many competitions there are two
categories (or more): street (street style) and vert (ramp); because an individual can

to do in street style.
What is a skatepark?
A skatepark is a sports facility that is generally located in areas
green, urban, with recreational purposes for those who practice skateboarding,
in order to practice and develop their sport and technique.
There are private skateparks, where they usually charge for admission, while
that in public skateparks there is generally no charge.

Why a skatepark in Florencio Varela?

Some time ago, municipalities have become aware that there is a great
number of organized athletes (skaters), who do not have places to
practice and develop their activity. Little by little, and with a lot of effort and
organization, the skaters have expressed their concerns about the construction of
places for public practice of their sport. Nowadays, they have developed
various skateparks, given their good sports performance and their benefits for the
community.

PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

The present project is the construction of a skate park in the district of Florencio.
Varela, since currently, it does not have any area where each time a
collective group of skaters, rollers, and bikers in the district, mostly minors
of age with difficulties in moving to other areas designated in the capital, they
establishes the need to adapt an area within the district where they can practice
said sport.
Florencio Varela has numerous green areas and sports facilities.
which, however, do not take into account the requirements to practice said sport
(multisport facilities, sports fields, tennis courts, basketball courts, soccer, etc.)
The construction of a skate park would entail expanding and energizing the possibilities.
of leisure and free time in the district, also including the possibility of celebrating
exhibitions, workshops, as well as the meeting point for all kinds of people from
different ages, as a healthy lifestyle activity,

Fundamentals:

benefits of having a skatepark in Caldera:

where these boys can exercise. Exercise brings better quality of
life and fewer complications in health. More heart rate and better circulation, are
some examples. It is proven that skateboarding is much safer than
other traditional sports. Also, having a good place to practice decreases
the rate of injuries recorded due to falls in inappropriate places, such as in
public municipal places.
Psychologically:

young people from different countries and perhaps of different races. Running in a good

others feel impressed and are motivated to run.
Municipality:
The region will also be rewarded with the construction of a skatepark. With a
skatepark, there will no longer be many skateboarders in public places, like squares or
parking lots. There will be less destruction of municipal structures, such as
benches or stairs since the skatepark will have them and they won't feel the
the need to look for them outside of it. Car drivers will have less
concern about hitting a skateboarder. The guards will no longer have to
to go where the athletes to take them out of public places.
Another important point is that a skatepark is a tremendous attraction for the
region. Many athletes from the rest of the country will be attracted to race in it, because of the

that they can make more than one use of it. For example, it can serve as a platform for
to organize a music show or some youth activity.

Purpose:
The aim is to give the space to young people who practice the discipline within the
community and to those who would become interested over time, seeing that day by day the
young athletes acquire new skills in the discipline.

The idea is to be able to welcome young people, so that they can develop a sport of

The idea of these spaces is that they are integrated within parks, so that in their
set forms a place of recreation and fun. This would have the
necessary tools to develop that discipline, being able to have

space suitable for them to develop their sports potential.

WORK METHODOLOGY
 3.- WORK METHODOLOGY

3.1 SOCIAL ASPECT

The social aspect is relevant in the sense of why a space is required for
these characteristics. The problem of this type of athletes is directly
related to an architectural, urban, and social phenomenon. The questioning
what is done to conceive a work of such magnitude arises from the need to
a specific group of the population, which for decades has been
stigmatized as a result of the damage they cause on public roads.

The discrimination that has been shown towards these athletes is reflected in the
street, where they are expelled from public places that show characteristics
ideal for the free and spontaneous development of sport. Once this happens, it
they move to another place and the same thing happens again. A space is needed that
focus on these athletes and their families, thus creating a center of
population diversification.

3.1.1 SOCIAL CONTRIBUTION OF EXTREME SPORTS

Sport understood as a motor activity represents a foundation and a

biological perspective, but we must assume the impact that it has on
all the dimensions of the human being.

The impact on adolescents remains limited. Apart from the direct impacts it has
about the organism (strengthening the cardiovascular system, increasing muscle mass
muscular, improvement of physical condition), sports contributes to the establishment
a positive relationship with one's own body and allows for experiences of
solidarity and trust that, in turn, promote the formation of an identity
(gender-specific).

Sports and recreational physical activities provide an appropriate framework and

accepted to raise the topic of their own bodies and anatomy to young people,
as well as issues of nutrition and sexuality. Sports play a role
especially for the youth's SSR because it is aimed directly at them and is linked
to the world in which they operate. Health and SRH topics are often few
attractions for teenagers, but recreational activities constitute a
an important way to build trust with them.

Sports provide access to individuals or existing youth groups, or

that there are few open opportunities to get to know one's own body due to
the taboos, the excessive beauty ideals, the general contempt for sexuality or
the reduction of the female body to the function of having children. The fun and the
competition that is associated with sports activities helps to strengthen the
self-confidence and the physical awareness of young people allow them to understand their
their own bodies, and therefore themselves, and strengthen their personality, which
constitutes an important prerequisite for the development of a youth attitude

At a group level, sports can contribute to the development of trust among peers.
The young person must be able to trust others, experience a sense of
community and know their position within the group. In team sports,
it also fosters, in addition to trust, responsibility towards oneself and
with the others. Within the group, rules are developed, and the young people become familiar with
with alternatives to violence, injustice, and exclusion that occur all too frequently
they experiment in their immediate social environment. They learn to establish loyal relationships
that include respect for one's own health and that of others. In the atmosphere of
group sports trust makes it easier to bring up and discuss topics
delicate matters of sexual health and the bodily aspects of life. In the activities

a conducive situation to offer young people positive role models with which
they can be identified.

of some civic site like the one intended to be implemented in the Province
from Valparaíso. It is possible to include an entire city by organizing activities
sports in this park. This allows parents to observe the activities of
the young people and understand them, which fosters support and exchange
intergenerational. Other kids might realize that sports can be
fun, which promises successes and promotes group cohesion, and perhaps they will get excited
to participate.

The broad social recognition of sport can be used profitably in the

field of youth health, even expanding its benefits. It is important
understand the cultural environment here and take it into account in the planning.

Sports and individual or team physical activities constitute

important instruments and access pathways to reach and engage with young people.
There are several positive impacts that can be achieved regarding
adolescents. Sport promotes the awareness and physical condition of adolescents
through the individual experience of their own bodies and physical activity.

Normally, sports activity, which requires moments of great effort and

tension that alternates with relaxation pauses gives individuals an experience
positive that increases her overall happiness and sense of well-being. In addition to
 such beneficial effects on general health, this especially has an impact
positive in the safety and self-confidence of adolescents. Sport
improves physical condition, and a body in good physical shape enjoys approval and
the recognition of society, allowing young people to have a better
image of themselves. Sports enthusiasts have a greater perception of
their own bodies, know their strengths and the limits of their physical performance and
they learn to value their own bodies, which specifically results in
benefit of their sexual and reproductive health. Young people who know and accept their
their own bodies will protect them better than those for whom the body is only
negative connotations.

Team sports create a group environment of trust that fosters

exchange of information and experiences among team members. As

It expands your thinking and imagination.

Sport in mixed groups or same-sex groups (in many societies the

the first option is not feasible) offers the possibility of raising awareness among adolescents
regarding the roles that society expects them to fulfill and giving them
to learn about other alternative roles. The sports group offers the girls the
opportunity to be heard in a socially acceptable framework, to be
perceived as individuals and to express themselves.

In sports groups and within the framework of physical activities, it is demonstrated and
they practice forms of behavior that offer alternatives to the practices that govern in the
society, such as corruption, violence as a way of resolving conflicts
and the contravention of the rules. They provide a framework within which it is possible

form of socialization that supports the development of positive values.

In the eyes of society, young people often appear stigmatized and

associated with acts of violence, theft, prostitution, and drug abuse. This denies them
a positive participation in society and leaves them marked as cases without
hope and without future.

Often this accusation is taken seriously by the young people themselves, which leads to
turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy. Sports activities themselves
the same ones and their presentation in the form of tournaments or exhibitions provide to the
adolescents an opportunity to showcase some of their positive qualities; of
to carry out, so to speak, a public relations job in their own favor. This
can give rise to an exchange of ideas and the integration of young people from different
sociocultural extractions.

It can be used to improve the public image of young people and show guidelines for
youth behavior that is rarely perceived within society as the
enthusiasm, the will to work hard, communication skills, the spirit
 of team, strength, leadership qualities, trust, and respect. The
attention should focus here on the positive experience of one's own body, in the
self-esteem, the taste of success and fun. Moreover, sports can generate
favorable attitudes for the prevention of violence or addiction to any type of
drugs. In the field of violence prevention, sport offers to the
adolescents a way to channel their physical tensions and allows them to learn
positive competition forms and non-aggressive behavior.

In general, sports help to overcome fears and tensions and to resolve conflicts.

and their families.

URBAN AND ROAD SAFETY

If analyzed from the perspective of the authorities, who are in charge of

to care for and safeguard the physical integrity of the city, this type of athlete provokes
damage to urban furniture, which is not insignificant monetarily.

Then, the following problem arises, what can be done to address this
the population sector prevents damage to public roads and the authorities do not have
losses in their budget due to this.

The solution to this problem is the construction of a civic park, which includes
a Skate Park and green areas for the free development of these sports, and it is a
recreational place for the family in general.

LEGAL FRAMEWORK

The problem that arises in the new location of the site is located in the
Florencio Varela Square.

Institutional framework:

The organization responsible for the execution of this skatepark project is the
municipality of Florencio Varela.

the necessary funds mentioned below. The completion date and
The inauguration of said park is scheduled to take place six months after the work has begun.

ACTIVITIES AND TASKS

To achieve this, a series of ramps and objects have been visualized which would be
made of a lightweight and durable material, in this case it would be made of a resistant plastic; it must
be like this in order to share the space with the sports practiced in the
facilities.
This visualization consists of:
2 launch ramps (41.5" long x 26" wide x 12" height)
A fly box (41.5" long x 26" wide x 12" high)
A rectangular metal rail (6' long x 2" wide x 14" high)
3. A grind box (4' wide x 2' deep x 14' high) Besides the possibility of placing
something more sophisticated like:
Quarter pipes (7' largo x 4' ancho x 3' 6" altura)
And the possibility of putting in a half pipe (or crescent) (24' long x 8' wide x 3' high)*
Costs
Being materials with materials that are easy to assemble, the cost per labor
work can be minimal and even null. Even so, the comparison rates of the
mentioned products demonstrate a vast investment as they are products of the
foreigner.
The base costs are taken from the offers of the company '[Link]'
What is a company that is based on jobs in durable plastic that goes

[Link].1. LABORATORY TESTS

The tests to be carried out will be:

Once the material is compacted, the compaction will be controlled through

of "in situ" densities according to the AASHTO standard T-147.

The minimum required controls are as follows:

a) Granulometric test, CBR bearing capacity, classification and

index properties for materials from plants.

b) Compaction density tests, which will be measured at 95% of the density

dry compacted, at 0.2" of penetration and in a saturated state.

c) The thickness of the stabilized base must be certified.

 d) Concrete resistance control: With samples obtained in wet conditions, from
precast concrete, both for reinforced concrete elements and radial ones
