The completion of the stadia for the Sydney 2000 Olympics at Homebush Bay has drawn world architectural attention to the brilliant structures that have emerged. This beautiful and thoroughly researched book presents the first overall view of the Olympic venue. Packed with information, it includes initial concept designs through to engineers contributions and final detail of the actual construction. Sharp dramatic images together with valuable incisive critiques by six respected architectural commentators make this book a vital research source for anyone interested in sporting architecture or indeed any aspect of modern architecture. It is particularly interesting for its information on environmentally sustainable design, both from the planning process and for the materials used. Incorporating a full index and listing of those involved in this mammoth project, Olympic Architecture – Building Sydney 2000 becomes an invaluable record at the edge of a new millennium.
