The document outlines three main focus areas for analysis: technical/functional, cultural/symbolic, and contextual/economic. It then provides an example calculation for determining the height of a riser based on spectator position details. Finally, it lists the semester structure and schedule for a design course, including 5 projects, 11 seminars, a site visit, and final deliverables of a technical booklet and interview presentation.

2. Three main focus areas:
1.Technical / Functional
2.Cultural / Symbolic
3.Contextual/ Economic

3. If we analyze a spectator position where R= 6.5m, D=18m and we
want a C value of 120mm, then the height of the riser must be:
N= {[(6.5+0.12)x(18.0+0.8)]/18}-6.5
N=6.8014-6.5
N=0.3014m
from the Populous Design & Development Guide, Chapter 11
1. Technical / Functional

7. “Modern sports stadiums function much like the
great cathedrals once did, bringing communities
together and focusing their collective energy”
Chris Beneke, professor of History, Bentley University
Arthur Remillard, professor of religious studies, St Francis University
2. Cultural / Symbolic

11. “Many argue that the economic and social costs created
by urban stadium development outweigh the public
good, especially in the case of publicly funded or
subsidized stadiums”
James W Rizzo, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Center for Real Estate
3. Contextual/ Economic
