Reclaiming the Street
01 - 13 Jun 2010
In the past months students, artists, skateboarders and designers from around the world have submitted more than 80 concepts for the 'Reclaiming the Street' competition. MAMA invited ideas and designs for an object or an adaptation to the urban public realm in order to allow skateboarders and others to playfully make use of public space.

A jury of experts on the field of skateboarding, design and architecture nominated 4 submissions to be developed into a design that could be realized. The public decided on the fifth nominee: up until Sunday July 11th you could vote for your favourite idea or design at Rot(t)terdam.
The five nominees were announced on Thursday July 15th, 17:30 hours.
