DeathZone Skate Park
|
BrickTopia's hottest new pass-times are skateboarding and snowboarding, but with city ordinances barring most outdoor skating and no snow in sight, where are hopeful dare-devils to go? The answer, at least for the athletic elite, is DeathZone. This skate park is a new concept in athletic entertainment. The safety conscious need not apply. DeathZone features a plethora of artistically themed, yet insidiously dangerous courses to challenge the most skilled tiers of society. In order to blend in with the urban look of The main floor is raised above street level to cut down on the noise from all the partying and occasional screech of agony. To further deflect the noise, various, curved white shields are situated on all sites of the building. Hopeful patrons enter at street level and are whisked to DeathZone via elevator (in the glass cylinder in the front of the structure). The upper levels of the tower hold management offices and shops.

Here, one sees a top-down view of the structure. The various, white noise-deflection shields can be more easily seen in this shot. One can also see the dissonant curves that form the upper levels of the tower. These curves serve no functional purpose (and actually decrease the internal square footage). However, according to BrickTopia city ordinances, architectural uniqueness is required of all buildings, so a square tower would not have been accepted. The dome on the top of the building is used to host a variety of
television and radio antennas, providing some useful side-income for

Here, one sees the flood of eager visitors clamoring to enter DeathZone. DeathZone is a members-only club, with annual memberships starting at $1,000. In addition, each visit requires an additional ticket, priced at $100. Poor people are not welcome here. Before entering, patrons meet with DeathZone's legal representative, Johnny Cochran. Johnny admonishes them "If I got OJ off, then you sure aint gonna get any money out of DeathZone." After the verbal interview, Johnny hands each patron a long legal release form culminating in the phrase "I understand that use of DeathZone facilities involves risk of personal injury or death. However, any such mishaps that occur on the premises are solely due to my own incompetence." After finishing with legal niceties, visitors then traverse the entry way into a glass elevator shaft. The elevator can be seen at the top of the picture. |
