Abstract Details

2008, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning : Architecture (Master of).
Despite possessing the ability to complement the urban condition, many stadiums are sited at the outskirts of major metropolitan areas, surrounded by acres of surface parking, completely removed and isolated from the urban environment. Recently, city leaders and designers have attempted to utilize stadiums as a catalyst for gentrification in blighted urban neighborhoods. However, the stadium remains empty and unused for a majority of the year, rendering itself no less isolated from the vibrancy of the urban environment than its suburban relatives. However, by employing the ideas of urban theorists who have offered advice as to how to create dynamic urban spaces, stadiums can take full advantage of their urban potential and be infused into the urban environment, becoming participatory within the dynamic urban condition as living components of the city.
