Topics I've Started

100 days to go

11 April 2012 - 10:28 AM

Has anyone heard of any events. I know they dont like to give much notice on these things. but is there anything going on? Its nice to give warning as not everyone lives in London and so needs to plan to get there if there is an event.

On another note, I just tried to get on the website and for a while I was being directed to a different random website, something about planning appliacations. But got me thinking something may be afoot, website wise

2012 Sponsor pavillions in the Olympic Park

02 December 2011 - 10:59 AM

Coca-Cola has announced plans to create an innovative pavilion for the Olympic Park through its Future Flames campaign, which will recognise and reward contributions made by youngsters every day.

The longest continuous sponsor of the Olympics, Coca-Cola has assembled a cast of emerging talents to create a celebration of London 2012.

Pernilla Ohrstedt and Asif Khan (pictured right and left respectively) will be the architectural designers of the pavilion, and the pair have a history of working on a number of innovative projects.

They are currently designing an iconic building to combine architecture and cutting edge sound technology to create what Coca-Cola hope will be a memorable experience.

The building, called 'The Coca-Cola Beatbox', will give visitors the opportunity to create their own beat by remixing sounds of Olympic sports, and draws on the inspiration of the 'Move to the Beat' campaign which fused sport and music.
