This book, the first study of its kind, examines the economics behind motorsports, in particular Formula One. Chapters discuss the costs involved in Formula racing and how they are borne by teams, promoters and racers. The book also looks at how society, the public and the private sectors stand to benefit economically from the motorsport industry. Other issues like the economics of TV rights, sponsorship and sustainability are also addressed, again for the first time in an economics book. Moving beyond the economics of what happens off the track, the book also undertakes a serious examination of what goes in to making a winning team and what having a winning racer can do for a team’s fortunes. Mourão’s highly relevant and contemporary book also looks at how motorsport teams confront the challenges of the modern sporting world, including the changing dynamics of sports media and considers the future of Formula 1 as motorsports evolve.

É fácil encontrar casas e ambientes inadequados ao clima local e aos usuários, assim como cidades com problemas urbanísticos que se arrastam. Em tais casos, o planejamento adequado abre espaço para o trabalho corretivo do arquiteto. Este livro estuda aspectos práticos do ambiente construído ou a se construir, sem deixar de lado os sonhos e a criatividade do projetista. Esta obra pode orientar tanto o profissional calejado como o estudante e o estagiário, incentivando-os a valorizarem o esboço visto como ponto de partida para o projeto – não somente aqui, mas também nos escritórios modernos –, antes de ele seguir para a representação digital.A obra começa com o ABC do desenho à mão livre, aponta alternativas concretas de adaptação da construção ao ambiente e discute o papel do arquiteto na sociedade atual e naquela com que todos sonhamos. Há ainda um capítulo em que se exemplifica a concepção inicial de vários projetos, desde seus primeiros rascunhos e ideias até suas fases finais de desenvolvimento.
