A site to one of the largest skateboarding projects, the structure dubbed Red Bull Building Drop is for Brazilian skateboarder Sandro Dias, who broke two Guinness World Records after dropping in from the curved fa\u00e7ade of the 22-story building.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>During the project, the skateboarder hit a speed of 103 kph, skating from a height of 70 meters with a drop of 60 meters, measured from the lowest point of the ramp to the platform. Safety was integrated into the ramp design. At the end of the ramp, MotoGP crash pillows were installed, and these devices, normally used in motorcycle racing, helped stop a speeding Sandro Dias after hitting above 100 kilometers per hour. In addition to the crash pillows, the skateboarder wore a spine protector as part of his equipment to make sure that the risks of such a descent were reduced as much as possible while still allowing for world record speeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of Red Bull | photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pivaphoto.com\/\">Fabio Piva<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Concrete structure onto Centro Administrativo\u2019s building<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>Red Bull\u2019s skate ramp on the Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/caff.rs.gov.br\/\">building<\/a><span> took around one month of preparation and another month for actual building. The original building fa\u00e7ade, made of concrete, was unsuitable for skating because of the cracks and surface wear, so the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redbull.com\/\">brand\u2019s<\/a><span> team had to install a plywood overlay across the building\u2019s curve. Around 800 wooden boards created a continuous surface that allowed Sandro Dias to move from the 70-meter starting platform down to the temporary quarter pipe at ground level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>The skate ramp itself was temporary, with the plywood surface mounted onto the building\u2019s exterior curve, cladding the concrete in a smooth finish. Metal components supported the wooden panels, and after the Red Bull event, around 115 tonnes of material were planned for repurposing. The wooden boards would be donated to local non-governmental organizations or used as biomass, while the scrap metal would be recycled to make sure that the ramp construction would not contribute significantly to landfill waste.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Red Bull builds a skate ramp onto the Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari | photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/maragni.com.br\/\">Marcelo Maragni<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">Dubbed largest temporary skate ramp constructed<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>The skate ramp\u2019s significance lies in both its scale and its cultural context. It became the largest temporary skate ramp ever constructed, one done by Red Bull, with a height and slope never attempted before (towering 88.91m-high structure). For decades, local skaters had joked about the Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari building being a skateable surface, even creating digital mock-ups of someone riding down it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span>A structure honoring the economist and politician Fernando Ferrari, the concrete office building was completed in 1987 and designed by architects Charles Ren\u00e9 Hugaud, Leopoldo Costanzo, Ivanio Fontoura, and Luis Carlos Macchi. At the present time, Red Bull has temporarily turned it into a Building Drop, making the urban legend a real physical structure, and in doing so, it created a new benchmark for what can be achieved in skateboarding design.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>the building becomes a site to one of the largest skateboarding projects<\/p>\n<p>view of Sandro Dias preparing for his descent | photo by Marcelo Maragni<\/p>\n<p>view of the temporary concrete structure in Porto Alegre, Brazil | photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joergmitter\/\">Joerg Mitter<\/a><\/p>\n<p>the iconic CAFF building has been turned into the dubbed world\u2019s biggest skate ramp | photo by Fabio Piva<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the final drop-in was set at 70m | photo by Marcelo Maragni<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>detailed view of Sandro Dias\u2019 descent | photo by Joerg Mitter<\/p>\n<p>view of Sandro Dias after his descent, breaking two Guiness World Records | photo by Marcelo Maragni<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>Sandro Dias has now gone higher and faster than any skater in history | photo by Joerg Mitter <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>project info:<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>name: <span>Red Bull Building Drop\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>brand: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redbull.com\/\"><span>Red Bull<\/span><\/a><span> | <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/redbull\/\"><span>@redbull<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>architecture: <a href=\"https:\/\/caff.rs.gov.br\/\"><span>Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari<\/span><\/a><span> | <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/governo_rs\/\"><span>@governo_rs<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>location: <span>Avenida Borges De Medeiros, 1501, Porto Alegre, Brazil<\/span><\/p>\n<p>skateboarder:<span> Sandro Dias | <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/diassandro\/\"><span>@diassandro<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>photography: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pivaphoto.com\/\"><span>Fabio Piva<\/span><\/a><span>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/maragni.com.br\/\"><span>Marcelo Maragni<\/span><\/a><span>, Joerg Mitter | <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pivaphoto\/\"><span>@pivaphoto<\/span><\/a><span>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/marcelomaragni\/\"><span>@marcelomaragni<\/span><\/a><span>, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joergmitter\/\"><span>@joergmitter<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/red-bull-builds-curved-skate-ramp-centro-administrativo-fernando-ferrari-facade-brazil-09-30-2025\/\">red bull builds curved skate ramp on centro administrativo fernando ferrari\u2019s facade in brazil<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red bull\u2019s skate ramp emerges in Porto Alegre, Brazil \u00a0 Red Bull constructs a temporary curved skate ramp onto the facade of the Centro Administrativo Fernando Ferrari building in Porto Alegre, Brazil.
