Abstract
Human society likes to make its mark. In ancient Egypt the pharaohs built pyramids. The Romans constructed the Colliseum. Royalty and religion ruled during the Middle Ages and cathedrals and palaces became the landmarks of the built environment. Today the most significant and iconic structures under construction are stadia - temples to human endeavour and enterprise in the field of sport.
