Opis

The market for specialist and multi-functional sports and leisure facilities to host international, national and regional sports, conferences and leisure events is growing fast. This text presents late 1990s world-wide experience in the design, construction and operation of these structures. It includes contributions from experts in many fields of procurement, planning and design. Also featured are case studies of stadia and arenas from athletics, rugby, football, tennis and many other sports from Europe, North America and the Far East and, of course, the New Millennium Stadium in Cardiff. It draws together the interaction between many facets of location, planning, financing, design, construction and operation of sports and leisure facilities. The book forms the proceedings of The International Concrete Society Conference held at the Cardiff International Arena and should be of interest to architects and planners, facility managers, consultants in the fields of engineering, environmental control and services and leisure management, media facilities and to client organizations planning major sports and landmark stadia.
