LONDON 2012

Zaha Hadid has outdone herself, again. In her winning bid for the 2012 London Olympic pool, she displayed her unique ability to execute a clear and concise parti through integrated form and function.

I am particularly intrigued by the diving platforms. The detail and poetic nature of the the simple forms is inspiring. Their flowing and progressive shape, celebrate the journey which the athlete is partaking. It is clear that the dive is the natural way complete the process, thus celebrating the action.

I am excited to see how the elegance, and gliding nature of the space will highlight each performance. Whether a success, or failure, each dive will inevitably be enhanced, as the building and the events are truly integrated.... I can't wait!
