3 Stadia 2010

Architecture for an African Dream

Falk Jaeger Ed(s)

For the first time, a football world cup is taking place on the Dark Continent. Three of the ten stadiums envisaged for this spectacle were planned and realised by Gerkan, Marg and Partner in cooperation with the engineers Schlaich Bergermann and Partner from Germany. Their emblematic forms, logically developed from the technical construction, place them among the most beautiful of contemporary stadiums.

This book tells the stories surrounding the three stadiums and presents the new landmarks of the South African coastal towns Durban, Port Elizabeth and Cape Town, which have become architectonic locations of the African dream.
