Specifically,
Formulating aesthetic principles for the design of an urban soccer stadium This thesis explores the necessary conditions for the successful design of an urban-embedded stadium. this thesis studies the way that aesthetic design principles (order), urban contextualization (fit), and human scaled design (place) are differentiated, ultimately proposing a set of design principles for the design of an urbanembedded soccer stadium. this thesis seeks to apply these identified design principles to the design of a new MLS soccer stadium located in downtown San Antonio, TX.

Once recognized as the grandest type of structure, the amphitheater fell out of favor driven by the rise of Christianity in Europe, and the resulting emphasis on the construction of churches and cathedrals as the grandest structures cause for no amphitheaters stadiums to be built the next centuries. GENERATION by declining gameday attendance and new highway systems, stadiums are built in suburbs surrounded by

Proposed focus on stadia reintegration with existing urban environments with an emphasis on contextualization, public space planning, and human scale aesthetics.
5th GENERATION
Driven by increasing television audiences, stadia focus on maximizing the remote viewing experience over the in person experience. Stadia are created slightly smaller to seem full on television. Driven by efforts to use stadia as a catalyst for urban regeneration, stadia focus on connection with urban amenities.

THESIS
Stadia focus on leisure facilities that competed for limited family entertainment budget funds. Safety provisions become an important concern.

Arguments for an Embedded-Urban Stadium SITUATED It has the context to re spond more profoundly and holistically to a situation than an isolated-suburbanstadium. FINANCIALLY Site constraints make the urban ballpark necessarily smaller than the suburban stadium, which makes it less costly to build. PROGRAM A proper advantagestadiumintegratedwillofusingbuildingstoeconomicdevelopmentforboththestadiumadjacentcommunity. MOVING TOWARDS EMBEDDED
Building a stadium in a suburban setting misses the potential influence of a stadium. EXPERIENCE Stadia is an emotional attachment, identity, and experiential. Thus, urban stadium design has the potential to be a powerful urban experience.
