Since the Ancient Games, the stadium has transformed little by little, becoming morestructured and now multifunctional. Its place in the city has also changed, and it has taken on more of a social role.
From being a place of experimentation and audacity, the stadium has become an “architectural gesture” , a source of added value created by the greatest architects, which always appears in the city or region’s tourist brochures!
This exhibition sets out to look at the stadium, through its relationship with the city that builds it and with the different stakeholders involved. The stadium will be looked at as a whole, and not just in terms of architecture.
Summary
Description

Stadiums, Past and Future
1. Starting with the basic functions of the stadium (a place in which a sporting event can be refereed and where spectators can come together), the first part will look at its long history since Antiquity.
2. The central part will look at the present day, focusing on London to explain to visitors that building a stadium is not just a projectfor the 16 days of the Olympic Games, but a process lasting more than 30 years, in which sustainable development and legacy play the biggest role. The Games in Sydney, Athens, Beijing and Rio will also be assessed, to see what has and what will become of their Olympic legacy.
3. The final part will look at stadiums that might be built at some point in the future, like the modern Olympia dreamt up by Pierre de Coubertin, which has partly become reality. But it will also present examples of buildings, as sustainable development is the watchword for all future projects
This exhibition is characterised by the desire to humanise the stadium, this giant infrastructure, highlighting the human being. The idea is to observe its role and impact as a whole, not just from an architectural point of view.
• Address the role and impact of stadiums in society, placing the human being at the heart of this study;
• Tell the story of the people related to the life of a stadium;• Address sustainability and legacy.
For the general public: this is not an exhibition for experts in architecture or the other themes addressed (history, sociology, etc.).
• A layout created for travelling, 450m2 but adaptable, plan for a few partitions to be rebuilt on site;
• Interactive devices;• Sensory experiences to highlight the strength of images and sound;
