Zaha Hadid Architects

UPDATE: Minutes agoTokyo was announced as the host of the 2020 Olympics. Zaha

Hadids design to become the Olympic stadium.

Today the International Olympic Comitee (IOC) will choose the city that will host the 2020

Olympics, with Madrid, Tokyo and Istanbul competing for the important event. The three

cities just finished their presentations in Buenos Aires, Argentina, including presidents and

royal members. As we await for the results, we present you the three stadiums designed to

host the Olympics in each city.

More information and images:

Each one of the cities has presented a new design for their olympic stadium, which are

renovations of existing complexes.

Tokyo 2020

Winnerof an international design competition, its the most futuristic of the three

proposals. The Tokyo Sports Council has highligthed the Zaha Hadid Architects proposal as

an innovative and liquid design, that expresses the adequate dynamism for sports

activities. The base of the design is a complete overhaul of the Tokyo National Stadium,

that hosted the Olympics back in 1964 and has a capacity of 80,000 people. Tokyo faces

the risk of the recently announced radioactive leaks of Fukushima, but Prime Minister

Shinzo Abe said Let me assure you the situation is under control. It has never done and

will never do any damage to Tokyo.

east of the city, the proposal designed by Cruz y Ortiz Arquitectos is more sober, and has

been designed mainly as a soccer stadium with capacity for 70,000 people. Madrid faces a

the most reasonable and responsible financial foundation in recent Olympic history. We can

host the Olympics in 2020 with no risk to the Olympic movement.

Istanbul 2020

The new proposal for Istanbul looks to renovate an existing stadium built in 2002, and it is

part of a broader plan that looks to build 693 new sports facilities for the citizens and 25

stadiums. The redesign of the Ataturk Olympic Stadium is a key part of this plan, and was

announced as part of the 2016 candidacy of Istanbul. The stadium was used for the final of

the 2005 UEFA Champions League. While Istanbul opens the door to host the Olympics in

a region that has not hosted any games so far, current conflicts in the region and recent

manifestations in the country pose a risk. For this, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan

addressed that We believe that hosting the Olympics in Istanbul will give this signal, this

spirit of friendship and sharing and peace. And our country is a place where there is a lot of

unity and diversity, and that is the idea that we can share on a broader scale with the

Olympics Games being hosted in Turkey.

Its rather disappointing to s ee this motiveless proposals f or stadium. Beside Japanese design

proposal by Zaha Hadid, which is also slap to Local designers. But I guess it is w orth investment to get the

games.

At this point, I dont see any other candidate but Tokyo to takeover the games. It is the only city able to fulfill

he task.

Zahas design is not an original idea. It is simply the Zaha-fication of the existing Soccer World Cup

2010 Stadium in Durban, South Africa (the Moses Mabhida Stadium).
