I'm a graduate architect specialising in sports architecture (think stadiums, arena, turf clubs etc.)...almost all the projects I have worked on, or am working on a massive so I do miss the small scale stuff (think houses, product design and furniture). Also, I love crafting too! Thank goodness for curbly!!!

Ghosts of Buildings Past
By kirs10These silhouttes/remnants of buildings past are really intriguing and quirky. I like them cause it makes one ponder about what once occupied the site. This particular one was taken on Albert Street just off Queens Street Mall in Brisbane. The next image was taken in Melbourne, I can't remember where exactlybut it was in the CBD.

Yeah mate, it's definitely not what people would associate with architecture on first impulse, but then the sudden realisation dawns that it totally makes sense cause stadiums (and the like) are a building type too!
It's kinda hard to explain what I do (without omitting jargon and boring you all) but suffice to say that sports architecture is all about enhancing spectator experience at a game/race.
What does this mean? Well...nothing quite beats watching a game live - the Superbowl for you all in America; the Rugby World Cup/Super 12, for us here in Oz -, and being able to do that in a comfortable and safe environment in a kick arse awesome building is pretty sweet.
Check out the Allianz in Munich where the Soccer World Cup was hosted
