dc.description.abstractThe football stadiums are a center of emotions. In use the assembly is of thousands of people in a short period of time, a few hours. The sustainability of these sports facilities can not only be associated with its construction and operation. In 2011 the Quality Manual of Stadiums developed by UEFA appears the concept of Sustainable Architecture - Architecture for people. The concept of "architecture for people," emphasizes the need for well-being, comfort, and both psychological and physical, which should be an integral feature of any construction project sustainable. This can be defined as sustainable architecture for the planet and for people. Sustainable architecture can be considered as a simple, but important to the human scale, psychology, culture and ergonomics. It also encourages the design sensibility and interpretation that seeks to go beyond the basic requirements of the customer and therefore aims to give added value to the project. Sustainable architecture also focuses on the importance of creating a sense of place and encourage social interaction, which is particularly significant buildings, such as stadiums, where the idea of promoting the community is very important. This can be promoted through a variety of additional activities and facilities within the stadium complex that can offer the community recreation options as needed, without forgetting the business benefits they will bring to the development of the stadium itself. Thus presents the current situation of the Euro 2004 stadiums in relation to the parameters of Sustainable Architecture defined by UEFA as well as what they can improve, given that facilities that are still present only one fifth of its useful life. Football stadiums can thus leverage new forms of interaction, connection and even change their mindsets thousands of users.en
