London Aquatics Centre - Zaha Hadid
Here are some more photographs of Zaha Hadid‘s recently completed Aquatics Centre for the London 2012 Olympic Games.
Six curved concrete diving boards stick out like tongues across one pool at the end of the main hall, beneath an undulating wave-like roof. The competition pool is also located in this hall, which will seat 17,500 spectators during the games.
Petal-shaped openings allow light through the concrete ceiling of a second hall, where a practice pool is located.
Wide glass walls provide views of pools in both rooms from connecting corridors.
