BLOG: JAPAN NATIONAL STADIUM BY ZAHA HADID




From: Designboom

Visually, these images are just spectacular. With a retractable clear roof and an overall silhouette of beautifully dynamic curvature, this competition entry by Zaha Hadid Architect has won the right to build it as Japan's National Stadium, housed in the capital city that is Tokyo. It has a capacity of 80,000 and will be the nation's most iconic venue for sport, music and culture. There are question marks over its financial viability, what with Japan being in huge debt and Zaha Hadid enduring a trend of over-budget projects, but it will be constructed and it will be finished in 2018. Exciting.
