gotosy Posted May 11, 2014 Report Posted May 11, 2014 Amended plan(2013 Nov.). Page 8. http://www.jpnsport.go.jp/newstadium/Portals/0/yushikishakaigi/20131211_yushikisha4_shiryo1.pdf Scale comparison of current and March 2013 proposed plan March 2013 draft Current draft 2 Quote
phandrosis Posted May 11, 2014 Report Posted May 11, 2014 I feel like the top view makes the stadium look very flat and boring, but the side view as shown here shows that upward curve that I find very appealing about this plan. Quote
olympiaki-agones Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 I like that design for the velodrome instead of the main Olympic Stadium. Quote
runningrings Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 I just feel that this design has dated before its even been built. London's Aquatic Centre has been there done that- now the Japanese will bring their own overwrought version of this 12 years later? Unoriginal. Boring. Wish they were going for something more simple, light and traditionally Japanese. Quote
Victor Mata Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 This and Qatar's Vaginarena will put sports events hosts to think twice before hiring Zaha again. Quote
Rob2012 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 The soaring cost is the offputting aspect of Hadid's architecture. Whaever the renders look like though, the end results tend to be stunning. Quote
mr.bernham Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 The soaring cost is the offputting aspect of Hadid's architecture. Whaever the renders look like though, the end results tend to be stunning. Bit sad it's smaller. Quote
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Will it still be a 100,000 Seater Capacity, even with a smaller footprint? Quote
paul Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 from horrible to horribly common. her vagina is waaaaaay to enormous for her britches. why are people buying her stink. Quote
Pure facts Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Will it still be a 100,000 Seater Capacity, even with a smaller footprint? Bid book volume 2 page 22: 80,000 capacity Quote
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Bid book volume 2 page 22: 80,000 capacity I thought the plan was 80,000 Seats for Athletics and 100,000 for Non-Athletics Events, because of the Retractable Seating. I assume that for Concerts, the Stadium could hold 115,000-120,000 People, because some would be on the Pitch. Quote
BR2028 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 Will it still be a 100,000 Seater Capacity, even with a smaller footprint? Just more compact, the old footprint allowed for seating to be more spread out and created pedestrian areas using the stadium. Quote

gotosy Posted May 15, 2014 Report Posted May 15, 2014 Toyo Ito and Fumihiko Maki Petition Against Zaha Hadid’s Tokyo Olympic Stadium © ZHA Though it seemed a compromise was met last October, when Japan’s minister of education, Hakubun Shimomura announced plans to reduce the cost and scale of the Zaha Hadid-designed Tokyo Olympic Stadium, the debate rages on. Pritzker laureates Toyo Ito and Fumihiko Maki have launched an online petition to “defend the ginko tree-lined landscape of blue sky and Jingu Outer Gardens” from the construction of Hadid’s “oversized” stadium. The petition (now with more than 13,000 signatures) urges the Japan Sports Council, who hand selected Hadid’s winning design alongside Tadao Ando, to reconsider upgrading the existing Meiji Jingo Gaien Stadium and the gardens surrounding it. This solution, they believe, is a more affordable and sustainable alternative that would prevent the relocation of nearby residents. Take a tour though Zaha Hadid’s 2020 Olympic Stadium and share your thoughts about the design (and petition), after the break… The 80,000-seat stadium, which was selected over 10 other finalists in November 2012 to serve as the new Japan National Stadium, is scheduled for completion just before the 2019 Rugby World Cup. http://www.archdaily.com/506597/toyo-ito-and-fumihiko-maki-petition-against-zaha-hadid-s-tokyo-olympic-stadium/ Quote
Ikarus360 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Posted May 15, 2014 I hope future bids learn the moral of this story. Never, ever, hire Zaha Hadid again, or else this **** happens. Quote
olympiaki-agones Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 Bligh Voller Architects, Herzog and de Meuron, Calatrava or some of the Japanese designers of several Nagano'98 venues could have fitted better than Hadid. After all the ones mentioned above changed the style from the XX to XXI century. Quote
Alexjc Posted May 16, 2014 Report Posted May 16, 2014 I hope future bids learn the moral of this story. Never, ever, hire Zaha Hadid again, or else this **** happens. Does look like a certain intimate part of a woman's body though doesn't it!Tony wouldn't know what that is though. Quote

Actually the UK has one of the worst Sex-Eds programs in the world. However, I think Oz and NZ have quite an interesting take *cough* schoolies *cough* Quote

Yes I do know what it is. I am 17, not 4. Actually the UK has one of the worst Sex-Eds programs in the world. However, I think Oz and NZ have quite an interesting take *cough* schoolies *cough* How do we have one of the worst Sex-Ed Programs in the World? Surely China does, because of it's over population?
