    The stadium of Olympia, from the perspective of the dialogical architecture Miranda Kiuri & Jacques Teller, LEMA (Local Environment Management and Analysis), ULg 1. Introduction: the relation stadium – city After the boom in sporting events and the renaissance of the Olympic Games during the 19th century, stadium architecture changed rapidly during the 20th century. The changes had mainly to do with construction, techniques and materials, but broadened to affect everything connected with performance in sports and standards of play, including the management of movement by spectators and adaptation to contemporary means of communication. As the stadium changed, so too did its relationship with the cities nearby which stadiums were are located. Our analysis will address the concept of the Olympian stadium in relation to its location and the built environment, presenting a possible reinterpretation of this stadium “as part of a city at large”. Our approach is based on an analysis of the relationship between the stadium and the Altis of Olympia during the Hellenistic Period as paradigmatic case. The site of Olympia is World Cultural Heritage (UNESCO, 1989). We suggest that the terms “distancing and separation” referring to the relationship between the Olympian stadium and the Altis after its departure from the Sanctuary, do not reflect the richness of the conception of the whole. We will propose a broader reading of the stadium architecture in relation to social and cultural referents. The social dialogue that characterized Hellenistic period and the Olympics universal significance influenced the stadium location, orientation and configuration, its own archetypical essence. The following section concerns the description of the site.
