He uses a very [minimalist approach](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightness-tension) to examine the different [architectural designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xian-international-football-centre), which ultimately makes it easier for the everyday person to understand these structures. The artist states how the "stadiums of the world cup Brazil 2014 are now and will remain in the future, sport and architectural icons, symbols who will help the affirmation of Brazil as a world power," as stated on DesignBoom. Because of this the artist and architect himself wanted to explore the various designs put together by firms from all over the world, and to pay tribute to their symbolic nature. For anyone visiting Brazil after the World Cup, these monuments will still stand as a testament to the international event.
