Olympic Architects London 2012 – Crane.tv & Soho House
As part of our Soho House ‘In Conversation With’ series Crane.tv last
night spoke with architects Rod Sheard of Populous, Kathryn Findlay of
Ushida Findlay and Asif Khan and Pernilla Ohrstedt. Focused on
designing the Olympics, each architect discusses their London 2012
specific project. Sheard tells us of the mammoth task involved in
designing an Olympic stadium, Findlay discusses one of the only
permanent structures to stay in Stratford, the Orbit, her co-project
with Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond, while Khan and Ohrstedt fill us
in on how, as an emerging architecture duo, they worked with global
brand Coca-Cola to amplify their message, creating Beatbox, a
structure fusing design and music. While each structure serves a
different and specific purpose, the architects all share one mindset:
changing the face of London while keeping the spirit of sustainability
intact.
