london olympic park
aerial view
wow.
i have been to a few different olympic parks and find some odd fascination with them. they are a different kind of urbanism that changes with the city but never with the initial program. changes with the current usage, yes usually so. most often placed a good distance outside of the city center one can only image how uninhabited they quickly become. an early stop on my berlin list of-buildings/parks/publicspcae/installations to see was the olymic park here. it was for the 1936 games. a time during the nazi regime. a symmetrical and neoclassical style of architecture was called for and perhaps for obvious reasons.
others seen : rome [1960] & barcelona [1992]
