In ancient Greece, the term stadium was defined as a footrace over a distance 192 m. This distance measurement was then later used as a description for the competition facility. Nowadays a stadium is considered a total competitive sporting complex with field, oval-shaping running track, shot put, javelin and broad jump facilities as well as viewer seats and press boxes. Nowadays, stadia are not only simply sporting sites, but also act as tourist attractions, distinguishing features and gathering place for clubs. This tendency has led to increased value being placed upon architecture in stadium design. Additional uses for covered stadia may include stores, offices, hotels and restaurants. In the following, various solutions of modern stadia design are presented. In so doing, examples of various use types and sizes will be addressed.

32 projects are introduced, they are catching the eyes because of an extraordinary architecture. As well the “inner life” with VIP lounges will be shown. Included are all 12 stadiums which are scene of the soccer world championship 2006. Plans and sketches will be enclosed to every project.

Hang colored drawings in window or near other light source for glowing stained glass effects.

Around the turn of the 20th century it became fashionable for homes to include decorative panels of stained glass in their windows and doors. They ranged from small eyelid windows or transoms over a doorway to massive walls of double-hung windows. In any size they introduced a warm glow of color to the interiors and an artistic flare to the architecture.

Today stained glass is being rediscovered. Antique windows and doors are sought after by collectors and decorators, and contemporary glass artists are reviving the craft. This book demonstrates the wide range of glass that is available in the market. For the artisan it gives a context to their work and provides them with ideas and techniques to expand their repertoire.

Over 500 color pictures show the artistry and craftsmanship of antique windows and doors from England, Europe and the United States, and make this an invaluable resource for designers, architects, home restorers and collectors alike.

During the last thirty years, a great many projects have been created in stained glass all over the world, in both new buildings and historical churches and institutions. Studies of this phenomenon have been rare until now, and this book is a pioneer in the survey of this fascinating field.

From the magnificent Art Nouveau ceilings of Parisian department stores, to exuberant designs from the Islamic world, and further still to the temples and palaces of India, Indonesia and Japan, stained glass becomes a medium by which the traditional and the avant-garde come together to create sumptuous decoration.

Here too are striking designs by modern artists like Marc Chagall and Fernand Léger, and glass put to skilful and subtle use by master architects such as Antoni Gaudí and Frank Lloyd Wright.

Stair Design brings together more than seventy recent projects from all over the world, which respond to highly diverse needs: from just a few steps compensating the changing level in a loft, to never-ending staircases that rise up the facade of a skyscraper. Included in each section and classified according to their public or private use are numerous examples of stairs built from the most commonly used materials; wood, metal, re-enforced concrete and glass, or a combination of these, often used to maximize the design's efficiency.

A swell as the wide-ranging sample of typologies and materials, Stair Design offers a selection of creative solutions for elements such as banisters or lighting, which are fundamental as the steps themselves.

Конечно они удовлетворяют цели - но сегодня в зданиях лестницы также стали почти скульптурным элементом. Staircases Selection and Details предлагает полный обзор лестниц, с сотнями замечательных примеров, показанных в полном цвете. Садержащая   информацию относительно ширины, высоты, и формы шагов, структурных систем, перил, пропорций, и материалов, плюс планы, таблицы и диаграммы, эта книга представляет собой полный технический и творческий справочник-путеводитель по созданию лестниц, которые будут как функциональны так и красивы.

This volume comprises a complete study of stairs, from technical specifications to project realisation. Besides fulfilling their traditional function of enabling height alteration, stairs have become an almost sculptural element in building and the book reflects this with its varied examples, drawing on the work of established architects and that of innovative young masters in the field.

The most interesting solutions in this fascinating area of architecture are explained: details of the width and height and shape of steps, their structural systems, banisters, proportions, alternative types and more. Illustrated with hundreds of full-colour photographs, plans, tables and specific diagrams, this book is specifically designed to be a valuable source of technical and inspirational information.

Stairways tend to be loaded with symbolism, and the fact they are seen as a secondary element as well as a necessary one should not interfere with the fact that they are elements which can display somewhat more than the simple functional mechanism that is inherent to their use. They should represent an expression of the dialogue established between adjoining spaces and strengthen the concept of a transition element that either stands out for being different or blends in for being the same.
