Book Description

In this completely updated and redesigned edition of the essential and long-established Stadia, the authors offer their unrivalled expertise to all professionals who commission, plan, design, and manage high-quality sports venues.

This fourth edition features over twenty case studies of recent projects in Europe, America, Australia, China and Japan, and the technical sections contain substantial new information on master planning and designing for the disabled.

In addition to a wide array of international information sources, the authors were able to draw on the experience of the design firm that delivered the 1999 Cardiff Millennium stadium, the 2000 Sydney Olympic stadium, the 2002 Reliant stadium in Houston, the 2005 Nanjing Sports Park, the new grandstand for Ascot Racecourse, and the recently completed Wembley stadium.

* Written by the internationally recognized global leaders in sport architecture, HOK.
* Includes the very latest projects in a wealth of international case studies
* Covers all technical aspects on designing new stadia as well as altering existing buildings

4.0 out of 5 stars Must have but not alone, April 12, 2008
By 
This review is from: Stadia, Fourth Edition: A Design and Development Guide (Paperback)
If you're looking for a book with architectural drawings such as floor plans, sections or elevation i believe it's not the best book for you.

This book mainly contains lots of information and diagrams about stadiums and it's standards which is very helpful for any architectural studies.. it's a very rich book for those who want to know more about stadium design but i recommend having beside it another book with more architectural drawings to give you the whole picture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Source for Stadia Builders/Designers, June 1, 2007

This review is from: Stadia, Fourth Edition: A Design and Development Guide (Paperback)
I was amazed by the information overflow and detailed accuracy in this work. You may think there's a lot of extra info and not enough pictures/diagrams, but believe me there's plenty of images that helps reader's comprehension levels. I think it is a very good source for anybody, who needs to get inspired and to design new stadia. It helps you from ground up. As for the price, it is well worth to spend on this book rather than try to compile bunch of other cheap ones. This book gives back much more value than it takes out from your pocket. Finally, it is a very successful work and keeps replenishing with newest inventions in stadia technology. That is why this is the 4th edition.

This review is from: Stadia, Fourth Edition: A Design and Development Guide (Paperback)
The book is a well thought out document that covers a fairly comprehensive scope in regards to stadia design. A very good first stop publication for those interested in stadia design.
