hadid's aquatic centre grows wings



the olympic aquatic centre design by zaha hadid for the 2012 olympics in london has been modified
from its original design (pictured above). building reports that new images of the design display large
temporary seating structures on each side of the facility. due to cutbacks the temporary seating is
being added to provide needed seats for the games and will be removed when the building is
transformed for regular use.

see an animation of the original design below.

I must to quote Alejandro. This symmetrical solution is the fruit of a compromise. And it is looked at.
