# Skate Ramp Buildings The New Bouwkunde is Built for Academia By Christina Butty | Published 2009-10-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-new-bouwkunde References: [dezeen](http://www.dezeen.com/2009/10/20/the-new-bouwkunde-by-adam-wojtalik/) & [home.tudelft.nl](http://home.tudelft.nl/en/) After seeing Adam Wojtalik’s proposal for the Delft University of Technology’s Faculty of Architecture, I had to wonder if he is or was a skater. When I first saw the pictures I thought that I was looking at a skate ramp, but it was actually a building called The New Bouwkundek. If constructed, The New Bouwkunde would include an eleven-storey tower plus a five floor pavillion. The space would also be able to house a canteen, coffee bar, lounge and auditorium. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.9/10 - Popularity: 43% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Skate Ramp Architecture:** Exploring the incorporation of skate ramp-inspired designs in architectural projects. - **Vertical Campus Buildings:** Designing multi-storey buildings that house multiple functions for academic institutions. - **Innovative Learning Spaces:** Creating educational environments that go beyond traditional classrooms and foster creativity. ### Who This Affects Most - **Architectural Design:** Opportunity for architects and designers to explore unconventional building designs. - **Education:** Potential for educational institutions to reimagine learning spaces and environments. - **Hospitality:** Possibility for the hospitality industry to integrate multifunctional spaces in their establishments. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sloped Timber Skate Ramps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rampitecture.md) - [Elevated Urban Skate Venues](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aan-architects.md) - [Repurposed Imperfection-Embraced Buildings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/civic-architects-and-vdndp.md) - [Nature-Inspired Rooftop Skateparks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qingdao-mixc-rooftop-skatepark.md) - [Record-Breaking Skate Megaramps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/red-bulls-building-drop.md) - [Gold-Tonal Metal Building Extensions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skylab.md) - [Skateable Pyramid Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/playlab.md) - [Campus Art Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-ppw.md) - [Layered Office Blocks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schieblocks.md)
