Design and structure should work as one, creating a unified system. This thesis will create a new form of the American baseball stadium, challenging the present day form and design techniques. The use of computer generics and innovative structure and performance will guide this issue. Visiting a stadium should be more than the experience of watching an event, but also the feeling of accompanying such a massive structure. A different type of logic is used when looking at these systems. There are no determined equal supports, but scattered systems. There is no fixed center, but possible a undulating hierarchy. Form, structure, enclosure, and performance work together.
