Eduardo Galeano, Uruguayan writer, once pleaded for `a pretty move
for the love of God' when watching his beloved soccer. This book is
likewise interested in `beautiful moves', but turns instead to the
architecture of the stadium as an architectural type as captivating
as the play occurring on the pitch. In the past 30 years a number
of stadium projects have been completed that highlight how this
building type has become a site for architectural innovation and
complexity. Clients that once would once have turned to large firms
specializing in stadia instead began to hire A-list and
Pritzker-Prize-winning architects to design new stadia. As a
result, in cities around the world stadia are often the most
expensive and monumental of projects, and may be icons of identity
and defining presences in the built landscape. By examining a range
of exemplary stadia from around the world (built, unbuilt and
demolished projects), this book presents for the first time a canon
for this building type. Organized chronologically, it includes
famous examples from the likes of Lina Bo Bardi, Frei Otto, Eduardo
Souto de Moura, Herzog & de Meuron, Foster + Partners and
Studio Gang.
