In Rio de Janeiro, the spiritual home of world football, and Buenos Aires, the game is an integral part of national identity. Using the football stadium as an illuminating cultural lens, this work examines many aspects of urban culture that play out within these architectural forms, including spirituality, violence, social norms, and anarchy.
