Why not build the “perfect wave skate obstacle” in Eindhoven that every (skate)boarder wants to ride? The 3D concrete printing (3DCP) technology allows more form freedom in design. Even natural shapes like waves can be reproduced. Studio mo man tai explores the boundaries of 3D printing.
We want to create obstacles for Urban Sports based on the concept that nature knows best. Skateboarding as we know it, was probably born when surfers in California wanted something to do when there were no waves. Much speaks for the use of 3D concr
