I've decided to do an Olympic related post today as I have loved watching all the sports over the past two weeks and I am so disappointed it has to come to an end. Team GB have performed amazingly well and like everyone is saying - it makes you proud to be British!
So this update today is taking a look at the work of my favourite architect, Zaha Hadid.
The London Aquatics Centre was purpose built for London 2012 Olympics for all swimming and diving events. The structure itself is a typical Hadid design style - encapsulating an organic fluidity throughout. The concept was inspired by the motion of flowing water and the want to reflect and fit in with the surrounding river and landscape of the Olympic village. The theme is included throughout the interior of the building, particularly in the shape of the diving stands and the vast undulating roof.
It's worth having a look at other Zaha Hadid Architects' projects here.
