SUMMARY:The Kinetics of Urban Movement
DESCRIPTION:Architecture Center Houston is proud to announce their upcoming exhibition The Kinetics of Urban Movement\, opening Thursday\, June 18\, 5:30-7:30pm\, curated by Rodrigo Gallardo\, Bobby King and Shane Yee. \nSkateboarding is not merely a subculture reacting against the built environment\, but a distinct way of perceiving architecture and space. \nThrough their movement\, skateboarders activate qualities already embedded in the built environment: geometry\, material behavior\, slope\, continuity\, friction\, rhythm\, and spatial sequence. Architectural elements often treated as background or residue of a design process (handrails\, parking curbs\, benches) become legible as primary moments. Empty swimming pools and deserted drainage ditches are radically reinhabited- becoming sites of engagement and gathering. \nSeen this way\, skateboarding does not merely occupy architecture differently but unlocks latent physical and spatial capacities that often exist beyond original design intention or prescribed function. \nThe exhibition traces how skateboarding reorders architectural value\, elevating overlooked forms and explaining how these discoveries gave rise to the field of skatepark design. \nRather than asking what architecture was meant to do\, skateboarding asks what architecture makes possible. \nEvent is free and open to the community. \n\nExhibition Sponsors and Community Partners \nThe Kinetics of Urban Movement is funded in part by the City of Houston through Houston Arts Alliance \nCherries Wheels\nHoney Skate Club\nHouston Parks and Recreation Department\nHouston Skate Academy\nSelect\nSkate ECOSYSTEMS

SUMMARY:Participatory Environments with Alexis Sablone
DESCRIPTION:How can we design more active and engaging cities? Drawing from experience as a professional skateboarder and designer\, Alexis Sablone reflects on how movement shapes the way space is read\, used\, and reinterpreted\, and how those ideas carry into their design work. \n\nAbout Alexis Sablone\nAlexis Sablone is an architect\, designer and multidisciplinary artist\, as well as a professional skateboarder and Olympian. They hold a BA from Barnard College\, Columbia University\, and a Masters in Architecture from Massachusetts Institute of Technology\, where they were both the Ida C. Green Fellow and recipient of the Imre Halasz Thesis Prize. Much of their work brings together their two worlds of architecture and skateboarding through the design of hybridized playscapes and large scale interactive sculptures in an ongoing exploration and interrogation of public space. Skateboarding\, if nothing else\, has provided an interesting case study for designers\, as skate spaces consistently show themselves to be creatively used\, shared and beloved by a broad\, diverse and growing community. This diverse usership—cutting across spectrums of skill level\, age\, race and gender—demonstrates the potential that public play spaces hold\, not just for skateboarders\, but beyond. Alexis is currently a fellow at University of Chicago’s Gray Center for Art’s and Inquiry\, where last spring they co-taught a course about the intersection of skateboarding culture\, performance and urban space. \n  \nThis program is in conjunction with The Kinetics of Urban Movement\, on view at the Architecture Center Houston from June 18-September 26. \n  \nImage: Candy Courts model.
