Architecture

English term or phrase: merely quiescent spectacle

They were, and still are, buildings that on the outside constitute one of the main parts of the cities where they were built, a statement that daily reminds us of the reason for their existence.

Likewise, a stadium is far more than the site of a merely quiescent spectacle, since football has become an icon of passion and loyalty for a team where social classes are forgotten and unity reigns for ninety minutes in a shared goal, the team’s success.
