Fill this form to have the opportunity to join the New Generations platform: submissions will be reviewed on a daily-basis, and the most innovative practices will have the chance to be part of the media's coverage and participate in our cultural agenda, including events, research projects, workshops, exhibitions and publications.
New Generations is a European platform that investigates the changes in the architectural profession ever since the economic crisis of 2008. We analyse the most innovative emerging practices at the European level, providing a new space for the exchange of knowledge and confrontation, theory, and production.
Since 2013, we have involved more than 3.000 practices from more than 50 countries in our cultural agenda, such as festivals, exhibitions, open calls, video-interviews, workshops, and experimental formats. We aim to offer a unique space where emerging architects could meet, exchange ideas, get inspired, and collaborate.

'On Loop' is a skatepark that was conceived around responding to two key figures, a community of skaters and the existing trees, both on a relatively small plot. One major aspect of skating is the continuity of movement created by stringing together a series of tricks.
It is quite common for skaters to plan ‘a line’, a sequence of tricks they aim to execute and obstacles to engage with. As such, the strategy was formed around incorporating the trees as obstacles to be avoided while devising a way to endlessly skate on loop.
To the open-air north-end of the site a quarter pipe and incline (or bank) occupy opposite sides, providing two options for ‘dropping in’. At the center is a fun-box, containing a combination of ramp, rail, grind box, ledge and manual pad, each of which contain their own set of possibilities.
On the tree-populated south-end, two quarter spheres are formed by filling the gap between the trees and the site bounds, providing different options for looping back (as do the quarter-pipe and incline).
The channels undulating on either side provide an optional bench to grind and double as a place to sit, spectate and/or record from. Lined with bamboo, a visual and acoustic filter is made around the skatepark, while shade is created in different areas throughout various moments of the day.
The aluminum pipe fencing serves as both a guided support for the bamboo as well as a barrier for skaters to catch themselves.The project was inaugurated in Cabanas Raras in September 2023, and can be seen as part of a series whose aim is to reinvigorate the Spanish region of El Bierzo through a combination of architecture, activities and ecology.
