Professor Iain Borden
SkateCER greeting video by Iain here

Iain Borden is a Professor of Architecture and Urban Culture. The Bartlett School of Architecture. Faculty of the Built Environment. He is the author of the seminal text ‘Skateboarding, Space and the City: Architecture and the Body’ (2001) and ‘Skateboarding and the City: a Complete History’ (2018). “As an architectural historian and urban commentator, my work has explored various interdisciplinary intersections of architectural history, cultural history, critical theory and urbanism. I am particularly interested in the ways in which urban and architectural spaces are experienced and perceived by people after the moment at which these spaces have been first constructed – that is, the various ways in which buildings and cities constantly change and evolve depending on their different uses and lives over many years and through different media…My new book project, titled “Construct”, is an experiential history of large urban constructions such as bridges, observation wheels, pedestrian crossings, skateparks, tunnels and cranes.”

Pierre Descamps

SkateCER video shout out by Pierre here

Artist and creator of the book Monuments (art with texts by Richard Leydier, Iain Borden and Pierre Descamps). 

“Having started skateboarding in the late eighties, I cannot help seeing the city and its forms as an infinite playground – one eye constantly observing all the architectural forms. Steps cease to be steps, handrails cease to be handrails, sidewalks cease to be sidewalks. They all become abstract forms open to reinterpretation: they can be perceived as ready-made sculptures, or equally as an inventory of skateable forms.
In 2006, I spontaneously started taking photographs of architectural spaces that skaters could use. I soon realised that the most accomplished pictures recall specific codes of skateboarding photography. Their focus, lighting, and perspectives are arranged to magnify the space where the action is taking place.” - Pierre Descamps. Instagram here

Joel Pippus

SkateCER shout out by Joel here

Push to Heal uses skateboarding as a tool to support healing through regulation, connection and development.   Joel works with children who have experienced trauma and has found that skateboarding can help them on their healing journey.

In 2015, Hull received a donation to build the the Matt Banister Memorial Skatepark on our SW Campus.  That donation, along with the lens provided by Dr. Bruce  Perry’s   Neurosequential  Model (NM), highlights skateboarding as an activity that supports the needs of the population that Hull supports. The creation of the Push to Heal program led to skateboard-based opportunities as a means of engaging a number of youth and enriching the treatment being provided. The Push to Heal program also contributed to a deeper understanding of the impact of skateboarding on healing as well as the development of best practices in the international social skateboarding community. Push to Heal is part of Hull’s Pathways to Prevention: A Centre for Childhood Trauma. 

Children that come to Hull often have histories of trauma and marginalization. They come to Hull with underdeveloped social skills and have had few opportunities to participate in rewarding recreational activities. Skateboarding provides a unique and alternative approach to emotional regulation, education, development, and healing.

Max Boutin

Sound researcher. Skateboarder. Video by Max here 

Max Boutin is a multidisciplinary artist-researcher-skater, currently completing his PhD in Études et Pratiques des Arts at Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM), Canada. In his research-creation work, Max has developed the skateboarding approach of “texturology” within visual and media arts, as a contemporary echo of Jean Dubuffet’s interest in the materiality of the ground, in the mid-1950s. His innovative concept transposes the sensory experience of skate sounds into visual, sonic, and haptic installations, where skateboarding itself is conceived as an act of creation.

His research has received support from the Fonds de Recherche du Québec, Société et culture sector, and Hexagram, an international and interuniversity research-creation network in arts, cultures, and technologies, based in Montréal.

In 2023, he co-authored a paper exploring the perception of skate sounds, entitled The Sonic Spectrums of Skateboarding: From Polarity to Plurality, with Brian Glenney and Paul O’Connor. That same year, he played a pivotal role as the curation and production manager for Hexagram’s “imprints” exhibitions at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz, Austria.

Looking ahead, after the publication of his thesis in 2025, he will begin a new project focused on texturology sound composition, during his postdoctoral studies at Université de Montréal, also funded by the Fonds de Recherche du Québec, Société et culture sector.

Andrew Lavery is the Co-Director and Co-Chair of Sydney College of the Arts, having previously held roles as, Director and Chair, Deputy Dean and Associate Dean of Learning and Teaching. Trained as a master glass artist, Lavery has since evolved as a conceptual and multi-disciplinary practitioner. He maintains a long-standing interest in the social and spatial politics of urban space, often challenging Australian ideals or highlighting the negative effects of capitalism, cultural indifference, and population growth. In recent installations, Lavery explores the historical materialism of gentrifying Australian suburbs through the allegory of urban ruin. These works examine themes of social disjunction and displacement, revealing the true nature of progress through temporal challenges to the linear history, and fictional reality of modernity.

Alicia Mardones is a a 23-year-old roller skater from Valparaiso, Chile and Architecture postgraduate student at the University of Sydney. Whilst navigating architecture school in the 2020 lockdown, Mardones picked up roller skating after seeing others do daring tricks on their heeled skates on social media. This changed her worldview on the built environment forever. Mardones is currently pursuing an architectural dissertation for the Bachelor of Architecture (Honours) and Master of Architecture. This dissertation, called ‘Finding the Line’ explores how skating aids the lack of third places during Sydney’s modern living crisis. Without having to pour more concrete, Finding the Line explores the opportunities for integration of skate places in the urban realm without having to build new skateparks, being mindful of sustainability and encouraging adaptive-reuse. Madones is also a research assistant for SkateCER and a speaker at the City Canvas symposium.

David is a musician who performs live around Sydney venues, a music teacher and beginner skater.  

Fin began skating as an adult beginner skateboarder, having taken up the sport in the last two years. He's also a secondary science teacher, which leads to his interest in skateboarding as a learning process showing the interaction between learning, risk, and repetition. In particular, he is interested in factors that make it harder to learn an already difficult sport, including culture regarding fashion, safety, and the effect of learning privately, publicly, or socially; and the role of environmental design in encouraging or obstructing learning.
