1. Pigalle Duperré Basketball Court, Paris, France
Although everybody describes Paris as the city of lovers and writes poems and songs on it, Paris is here with a completely different topic today. Yes, when you first look at the pictures above, it is natural to be surprised. Because you see a unique street basketball court in the world. This catchy field emerges when basketball and art are combined. Located between the two apartments opposite the Pigalle Basketball store in the 9th district of Paris, the Paris Duperré basketball court makes you feel staying there for hours.
The basketball court, which is near the Moulin Rouge and Montmartre, first hosted the works of street artists in 2009 and 2012. The project was developed in 2014 by the French fashion brand Pigalle and the design studio iII-Studio, sponsored by Nike, to raise awareness in the region and to popularize basketball. Pigalle and iII-Studio, which created the next level with its yellow and blue color-dominated field, completely renewed the basketball court design in 2017 with a different perspective.
Above, you can see both of the Paris Duperré basketball court designs in 2014 and 2017. What do you think, isn’t it great? 🙂
2. Sara D. Roosevelt Basketball Court, New York, USA
We are here with an outdoor basketball court design from America, which is the first country that comes to mind when it is about street basketball. The project initiated by New York local governments to attract attention to Sara D. Roosevelt Park and to encourage more people to do sports. It was made in 2016 in the Lower East region of New York which is famous with its art work. The basketball court project was realized with the sponsorship of the famous sports brand Nike, as in Paris.
As can be seen from the pictures, Brian Donnelly, an innovative designer of Brooklyn origin, interpreted the banality of the basketball court with a completely different riot of colors. Two street basketball courts located side by side in Sara D. Roosevelt Park are at the service of all basketball fans 24/7. However, when you dribble the basketball or want to pass, the risk of getting lost in the colors is quite high. Let’s just say, if you visit that area one day in New York, take at least a shot or two in there. 🙂
3. Munich, Germany
This time you will see the most interesting basketball court design in the world. Inges Idee ( Hans Hemmert, Axel Lieber, Thomas A. Schmidt and Georg Zey, founded by four German designers who set off with the philosophy of art in the public sphere , realized this project called “3D2” in the garden of a vocational school in Munich in 2006.
Although it looks like a basketball court in the image, it seems very difficult to dribble here. Our recommendation is to use the 3D basketball court for experiencing an extraordinary basketball court, relax or sunbathe rather than play in there. 🙂
