This market is not studied as often as the residential, office or commercial real estate market segments, which is why it is worth paying more attention to it. The evolution of the approach to sport, followed by the investing and use of sports real estate as a valuable resource of high value, means that increasing attention is being paid to the sports real estate market. The research objective of the article is to analyse and identify key areas of sports facility management, which the success of events organized on such facilities depends on, as well as to examine the requirements for sports facilities. The research used a lot of source information on the scope and standards of sports facility management as well as good practices and recommendations in this area. The following research methods were used in the article: a method of critical analysis of the subject literature on both the real estate market andthe sports market, as well as a descriptive and comparative methods to identify the evolution of the main directions of sports property management in the real estate market.

  • Design for the World's Stage
    Design for the world’s stage Finding meaning in international event venues. Proposal John K Branner Traveling Fellowship Proposal 2014-15 1 2014 Branner Proposal - Designing the World’s Stage BLINK, AND YOU’LL MISS IT. BOBSLED TRACK PHOTOGRAPH BY DADO RUVIC 1984 OLYMPICS REUTERS SARAJEVO, YUGOSLAVIA 563,209,000 YUD ($387 MILLION USD) 2 Sarajevo’s Olympic park is only a recent example of what has become an epidemic in the genre of event venue design. Global tradition continues to correlate short-term international spectacle with architectural monumentality, leaving in its wake an archive of tremendous material resources and embodied energy that fail to serve the lasting needs of the city. These event venues - glistening iconic landmarks celebrating singular moments in time and culture, rapidly lose meaning in the context of ever-transformative architectural and urban design. The curtain falls. The city matures. The “world’s stage” is quickly left behind. Media attention and careful fiscal evaluation on these abandoned architectural graveyards has caused unprecedented international aversion towards hosting global events. Where adaptive re-use has become the aspiration for most event venue design, London’s approach to 2012 Olympic campus changed the game with a media-lauded fleet of temporary architectural pavilions - addressing the white elephant of crumbling architectural ruins.2 Yet what are the limitations of these buildings on the spectator experience? How does such temporal architecture impact the lasting cultural iconicism that benefits

  • Ciné Paris Plaka Kidathineon 20
    CINÉ PARIS PLAKA KIDATHINEON 20 UPDATED: MAY 2019 Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing Ciné Paris Plaka for your stay in Athens. You have chosen an apartment in the heart of Athens, in the old town of Plaka. In the shadow of the Acropolis and its ancient temples, hillside Plaka has a village feel, with narrow cobblestone streets lined with tiny shops selling jewelry, clothes, local ceramics and souvenirs. Sidewalk cafes and family-run taverns stay open until late, and Cine Paris (next door) shows classic movies al fresco. Nearby, the whitewashed homes of the Anafiotika neighborhood give the small enclave a Greek-island vibe. Following is a small list of recommendations and useful information for you. It is by no means an exhaustive list as there are too many places to eat, drink and sight-see than we could possibly put down. Rather, this is a list of places that we enjoy and that our guests seem to like. We find that our guests like to discover things themselves. After all is that not a great part of the joy of traveling? To discover new experiences and places. We wish you a wonderful stay, and we hope you love Athens! __________________________________________________ The site to purchase tickets online for the Acropolis and slopes, The Temple of Olympian Zeus, Kerameikos, Ancient Agora, Roman Agora, Adrians Library and Aristotle's School is here https://etickets.tap.gr/ Once you access the site in the left-hand corner there are the letters EΛ|EN; click on the EN for English.
