The 2018 World Cup ended just a few weeks ago. It concluded an intense month that not only impacted the world of sports but also had direct repercussions on the host country's economy, tourism, and urban planning. Russia was the chosen host country. A total of 12 stadiums across 11 Russian cities were built or renovated for the tournament. But have you ever considered what happens when Olympic stadiums, World Cup venues, or other costly sports infrastructure close after the events for which they were designed? Many host local sports clubs. Others, however, become what we call "white elephants," used as parking lots, car racing tracks, or even—as in the case of Montreal's spectacular Olympic Stadium—a flu vaccination center. In "Residential Stadium: Adaptive Reuse," Archstorming aims to analyze how architecture can provide solutions for stadium design, ensuring they can be repurposed once the sporting event has concluded.

Four theaters share the opening section of this issue of Summa+, presenting a brief current overview of the subject—at least as far as concert and theater halls are concerned—while acknowledging the range of flexibility these types of spaces can possess. The Shakespearean Theater in Gdansk, designed by Italian architect Renato Rizzi, could be considered the most unique, as it is situated on the same site and follows the same layout as its century-old predecessor. Its distinctiveness lies in the ability to use either a central stage surrounded by galleries or a traditional stage against the back of the hall. Furthermore, it features a retractable roof, allowing for open-air performances.

This editorial project originated from the seminar "SURMODERNO, Valuation of Modern Heritage in Southern Chile," held in Concepción in 2015. Building on the papers presented at that event, this publication was developed two years later following meticulous editorial work. Its purpose is to share and disseminate the modern architecture developed in cities such as Chillán, Concepción, Talcahuano, Lota, Nacimiento, Osorno, and Punta Arenas.
