Abstract
ABSTRACT As a ‘spectacular’ sporting heritage space Wembley Stadium and its setting have been recently celebrated after a centenary of sport and entertainment since its inauguration in 1923. This paper examines the recent redevelopment and design of Wembley Stadium in Wembley Park to depict how the heritage credentials of the area and the intangible nature of sport as performance are mediated through multiple graphic images and permanent, semi-permanent, and ephemeral graphic interventions. The morphological milieu of Wembley as a heritage place is shown to be the most tangible heritage asset upon which its heritage credentials stand, amongst numerous graphic images and objects that impact how people navigate and understand the visitor experience of Wembley as a contemporary place to visit, work, and live.
