TOKYO - National Olympic Stadium (50,339 -> 80,000)

[Lord David]

Slightly incorrect. It's because of the nearby airport and height laws on account of local air traffic. They had to sink the stadium just to get 50,000, not to mention that although known as Tokyo Stadium, it's technically outside the city center, which means it can't host Ceremonies, even if expansion was possible.

It will host Modern Pentathlon, using temporary facilities alongside it.

[Ziltoidian]

According to the submission guidelines document, the stadium must be able to hold 80.000 people in athletics mode. It's also written that the stands should be close to the action in football/rugby mode. Everything seems to indicate it will be a bigger version (85-90k) of Stade de France.

This is turning into my favourite stadium project for this decade.

I so love Zaha's design, even though it would more than likely cost an absolute fortune. The one from gmp is also really nice.

This one is amazing it would be a revolution haha it's sad to think that probably it'll never get out from the paper

[RMB2007]

Yeah, the exterior for that design is pretty mental, whilst the interior part is rather bland.

[Ziltoidian]

Zaha Hadid's design comes in first place for me because of the resemblance it creates with the interior of the Metropolitan Gymnasium next door and its sheer size. Cox's proposal takes second place.

Populous... ugh, what were they thinking? Recycling the bowl design of London's Olympic Stadium...

"By the end of this decade, Tokyo promises to bring you the most dynamic and advanced stadium in the world."

I would favour any of the following designs for Tokyo's New National Stadium:
* Cox Architecture pty Ltd (AUS)
* UNStudio/Yamashita Sekkei Inc. (NED)
* Zaha Hadid Architects (GBR)
* TABANLIOĞLU Architects Consultancy Limited Company (TUR)
* Toyo Ito & Associates (JAP)

Tokyo – Tokyo 2020, Japan’s bid to host the 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, today welcomed the announcement of the first round of selections for a Design Contest for the remodelling of the Kasumigaoka National Stadium. The Japan Sport Council, owner of the iconic Kasumigaoka National Stadium, selected a total of 11 out of the 46 entries for the international design competition to update and remodel the venue in preparation for Tokyo’s Olympic and Paralympic Bid and the IRB 2019 Rugby World Cup.

...

It should establish a dialogue with its physical context, which includes sites such as the Meiji Shrine, and also be equipped with advanced environmental systems that take into consideration the global environment. Additionally, the project must run on a short schedule in order to be ready for hosting the 2019 Rugby World Cup.”

In the first-round review, the Jury committee considered the proposals from a variety of aspects and selected eleven projects that present visions for overcoming the challenges and carry messages that announce the coming of a new age. It is our hope that an architecture that sets a standard for this new age of the Earth will soon be born.”

The winner will be announced on mid-November and the award ceremony will take place late November. For images of the candidates and further details:

I am not a big fan of Zaha Hadid. I think there were better designs. But it will be a fine stadium. Hope the spectacular architecture will not get to be boring any time soon, but I fear the worst.

[Turkiiish]

This is a very good project !!!
