In this book, twelve unique, modern sports stadiums with greatly varied characteristics are closely examined and presented not only in plans and photographs, but also within the context of contemporary stadium construction. Fundamental questions concerning preservation, aesthetics, purpose, future economic viability, environmental impacts and the ability of the structures to accommodate future demands or allow for modifications are addressed in depth.
Includes projects by Herzog & de Meuron, von Gerkan, Marg & Partner, Hentrich-Petschnigg & Partner, and others. |
