In two years the London 2012 Olympic Games will open. Populous, the global architecture and design practice, is delighted to provide an update on the progress being made on the site, including the completion of the roof and progression of the installation of the stadium’s black and white seating.
Populous is the architect for the stadium as well as being responsible for the 2012 Olympic Games overlay. The stadium's seating configuration, arranged in a elliptical bowl form, has been designed to enable the spectators to be as close to the action as possible, making the 80,000 seat stadium feel compact for an intense experience. The black and white spectator seats provide a neutral backdrop for the colours that the spectators will bring from around the world, and the track will be highlighted in a striking colour which will reflect the vibrancy of our city in 2012.
Rod Sheard, Senior Principal at Populous said:
“We are extremely excited that the opening of the 2012 Stadium and Olympic Games is gradually becoming a reality. The greatest sporting event in the world is now only two years away and our stadium will be complete, tested and ready for its debut.”
