Structure
The roof loads will be carried along by the trusses and transferred into the concrete supports at either end of the building. Any other vertical loads are transferred directly to the foundation by concrete walls.
The horizontal loads will be carried down to the foundation.
The Aquatics Centre is designed with an inherent flexibility to accommodate 17,500 spectators for the London 2012 Games in ‘Olympic’

Site Context
The Aquatics Centre is within the Olympic Park Masterplan. Positioned on the south eastern edge of the Olympic Park with direct proximity to Stratford, a new pedestrian access to the Olympic Park via the east-west bridge (called the Stratford City Bridge) passes directly over the Centre as a primary gateway to the Park.
Layout..
Our Clients
The Aquatics Centre is planned on an orthogonal axis that is perpendicular to the Stratford City Bridge. All three pools are aligned on this axis.
The training pool is located under the bridge with the competition and diving pools located within the large pool hall enclosed by the roof.
The overall strategy is to frame the base of the pool hall as a podium connected to the Stratford City Bridge
The Podium..
This podium element contains of a variety of differentiated and cellular programmes within a single architectural volume which is seen to be completely assimilated with the bridge.
The podium emerges from the bridge to cascade around the pool hall to the lower level of the canal.
Longitudinal Section (Olympic Mode)
- The pool hall is expressed above the podium by a large roof which arches along the same axis as the pools.
Olympic Mode
- Double-curvature geometry has been used to generate a parabolic arch structure that creates the unique characteristics of the roof.
Olympic Mode
The roof undulates to differentiate between the volumes of competition pool and the diving pool.
Olympic Mode
Projecting beyond the pool hall envelope, the roof extends to the external areas and to the main entrance on the bridge that will be the primary access in Legacy mode.
Olympic Mode
Structurally, the roof is grounded at 3 primary positions with the opening between the roof and podium used for the additional spectator seating in Olympic mode, then in-filled with a glass façade in Legacy mode.

Football Stadium Arena Borisov
Architects: OFIS Architects
Location: Borisov, Belarus
Project Year: 2014
The arena forms a unified rounded dome, giving the impression of a single enclosed object.
The covered space between the skin and the tribunes is a public street-a vestibule with public program (shops, bars, services, toilets) and galleries above (offices, VIP, press)
The Skin of the dome gives an impression of a fragile stretched perforated textile pulled over the stadium skeleton.
Internally, the rounded arena provides good acoustics and encourages an extrovert atmosphere from the players and the fans alike during the game
The playing surface has N-S orientation, with a total area of 85x105 m, on which 68x105m is used for playing.
The remaining area allows enough space for the installation of advertising screens, photographers and cameras
The seats are arranged around the playing field in rows of 17 along the sides and rows of 27-28 along the short sides.
The upper west gallery is reserved for press cabins, with seats and tables for 40 journalists and direct stair access to the press room and mix zone.
In the east are the VIP stands, with 250 seats and bar and entertainment spaces.
The VIP is accessed directly via an elevator from the entrance area with a car driveway.
The athletes have a separate access on the lower platform, with passage to team buses and parking. At each entry point to the field are two dressing rooms, mix zone, physiotherapy and a space for doping control
