Summary:To say that modern day stadium and arena construction is a controversial topic is an understatement of the magnitude it has. Every couple of years, a host-city somewhere in the world gets the burden of building new expensive and spectacular stadiums, infrastructure and all the logistics that comes with hosting a major sporting venue such as the olympics or FIFA world cup. But after the games, these stadiums most often stands as an expensive tourist attraction that requires maintenance and is not used to the intended full potential. Occupying valuable space and resources. My project is a conceptual research that aims to find an alternative story-line for this problem and suggest a new method of how stadiums could be designed, built, transformed and used.
