World cup football offers an important opportunity to take
a new look at an age old form of architecture: the arena.
The new stadiums are always a living part of the city, with new services such as shopping centres, museums, fitness centres and cinemas incorporated in stadium complexes
so that they continue to serve the community even when
the sporting events are over. The architecture is innovative, too, offering an outstanding opportunity for experimentation: retractable roofs, playing fields that follow the sun or water themselves, stands that move closer to the playing field
and farther away from it - these are just a few
of the advanced technologies used in these incredible dynamic forms of architecture.
