Jonafin Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Hey everyone, I was just randomly searching for images and I came across this one of the Sochi Olympic Stadium. I know its way to early to say that its set in stone, but it shows a cauldron already there. Here is the link for the photo: http://ar.rian.ru/photolents/20070709/68627253_8.html I need to learn how to post pictures, What do you guys think of it?

mr.x Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 It's nothing new, we've all seen it, and only a bid conceptual rendering....the design will likely change dramatically (i.e. London 2012, Beijing 2008). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY20?? Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Yep, most of the time all those nice illustrations and renderings that cities show the IOC during he bid phase are really just place-marks to visualize the city's "Games concept”. They won’t actually be build - and for structural reasons, may not even be able to be build (London's comes to mind). Some examples: Sydney 2000: Beijing 2008: London 2012: Sochi's Olympic Stadium will probably turn out no different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob2012 Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Wow, the shadows on that Beijing concept are awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faster Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Sydney's design can be seen in the final stadium though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NY20?? Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 This is apparently what Munich proposed for its 1972 Olympic Stadium - I don't know for sure if it was during the bid phase or sometime afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
!VamosSochi!

Jonafin Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 London 2012: Sochi's Olympic Stadium will probably turn out no different. Shame bout this design being replaced. Would of loved to see it come into fruition. Anyways, I hope that at least the Sochi Olympic Stadium will look likes its renderings. It is probably to early to tell. So, why not just make this the overall thread for the venues? Keep it all in one place....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrack Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 http://www.sc-olympstroy.ru/en/olympic_spo...cts_5/index.php Looks like it's there so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
