Epic ridable architecture: Factoría Joven, Spain

Checkout this skatepark: Factoría Joven (Youth Factory) in Lusitania, Spain. It contains not only a skatepark but a climbing wall and other stuff to keep the youth off the streets.

The design is inspired by construction methods used to build Chinese Dragons. It's lit up with covered areas too. Not that they need it in Spain...
