Stadium Engineering

Through case studies on the Millennium Stadium, Cardiff, Newmarket's new grandstand, the City of Manchester Stadium and on the Number One Court at Wimbledon, This book shows how all these skills are brought together to the benefit of stadium development. Chapter 17 of the book is written by the great Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa (1934-2007) and is one of his final published contributions to the building design profession. Stadium Engineering is the first book on the subject and this first edition is likely to become a collectors item. It is essential reading for all those whose disciplines impact on the continuing success of stadium engineering and shows that sporting design has not merely come of age; it may well be ready to take centre stage.
