Rob2012 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 Great 10-min audio-visual slideshow of London's Olympic architecture, with Jerome Frost from the Olympic Delivery Authority, Sunday Times architecture critic Hugh Pearman and architect Mike Taylor who helped design the velodrome. Some wonderful new shots of the Velodrome I hadn't seen before in this too: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-15116027 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob2012 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Hockey players will compete on blue pitches for the first time ever at an Olympic Games following an announcement from the London 2012 Organising Committee today. Traditionally hockey is played on a green surface but Locog have approved the move to blue, which should provide a striking contrast with the white ball and pitch markings. In a further break with the tradition, the pitch run off areas will be coloured pink, to offer what Locog describe as a "striking and dynamic look" to the Hockey Centre. The venue, which is a temporary stadium based at the northern end of the Olympic Park, will be completed in the spring of 2012. The main pitch will host all the 76 matches played between July 29 and August 11. Team GB hockey international Alex Danson was involved in the colour testing and backed Locog's decision to go with blue. "The London Blue pitch is great," she said. "It provides a really strong contrast for players against the white ball and white lines and I quickly adapted to the change. "I really like the pink surround as well. It's another great example of hockey's willingness to lead the way and try new things. It will certainly make the sport stand out in 2012." http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/othersports/olympics/8410959/London-2012-Olympics-Hockey-Centre-pitches-will-be-blue-Locog-announces.html And do they stand out or what?! from davepatten on flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baron-pierreIV Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Aerial view of Greenwich Park during recent test event (from London 2012 Facebook page) Happened to watch Jack Black's GULLIVER'S TRAVELS tonite (some of it); and the Royal Naval College pitched in for Lilluput.

Ikarus360 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 It's getting more and more shape... Can't wait to see when the gardens and the walkways are finished, they will make it look so good. Also, it seems they haven't removed those cranes inside the stadium yet.

Rob2012 Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 This from RMB2007 on SSC: The cranes have certainly been doing something. Look at all the white box type things that are now in place (the orange arrows), and the blue arrows also indicate that they're been using some temporary platforms.
