the competition-winning National Stadium designed for the
2020 Olympics,
by Zaha
Hadid Architects (ZHA) will be restarted from
scratch, the structure has been criticised for everything from its mounting
construction costs to its design that arguably clashes with the
surrounding historic portions of the city and violates local height limits,
after years of growing issues and complaints, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe
finally announced a change of course, 'we have decided to go back to the start the Tokyo Olympics-Paralympics stadium plan, and start over from zero, I have been listening to the voices of the people for about a month now,
thinking about the possibility of a review,' intended to be a sports centre
to last a century, the price tag has repeatedly climbed beyond original
estimates, recently reaching a reported $2,000,000,000, in part due to
expensive materials but also the complex shape,
whether the 80,000-seat stadium will now be designed by
another firm or simply restarted by Zaha Hadid is unclear as
yet, but 7 years after she won the competition for this concept one
might hope they will give her another chance to cut costs or come up with an
alternative, so architects and designers out there submit your designs quick!
