Designing the greenest Olympic games in history
Beginning with the bidding process, planners for London’s 2012 Olympics envisioned nothing less than a transformation of East London with permanent structures that would bring to life the driving creative principle of sustainability. In London 2012, this visionary undertaking is documented in brilliant full colour—with in progress construction photos, computer-generated visualisations, and detailed construction drawings. Arranged around individual case studies, starting with the large-scale infrastructure and transport work in Stratford, the book then addresses individual structures, including the Olympic Stadium and the Aquatics Centre, as well as finer design details.
