Description |
|
The water polo arena at the 2012 London
Summer Olympics was designed to be a
temporary building. The 5,000 seat
venue was designed by the architectural
practice of David Morley who say of it
that, "This demountable venue
creates an emerging form of
architecture for future Olympic Games.
It is made from a Kit of Parts that
comes from and can return to the
supply chain. ... The Venue includes a
competition pool, warm-up pool and
ancillary accommodation for
spectators, athletes, press and VIPs." The fabric skin of the building had inflatable pockets that added insulation and reduced condensation within the building. |
