Today the Architect Day is special. It’s about the places that are being used in the Olympics games, in London 2012. Check out the works and the architects responsible for each project.
Below are some projects where it is being performed the London 2012 Olympics. With large office projects like Zaha Hadid Architects, Hopkins, Magma among others, the gymnasiums and stadiums are highlighted by the imposing structures, but in places such as receiving a large audience, the functionality of the buildings is very important. Besides the projects to the achievement of sports, is also important to show the architecture used for the infrastructure of the event. Check it out!
