Architects visit the Aquatics Centre as part of their Olympic Park tourLord Richard Rogers said: ‘The new Olympic Park will be a fantastic place and will help to regenerate east London. The designs show exciting sculptural form and will enhance the landscape.’
Joanna Averley, Deputy Chief Executive of the Commission for Architecture and the Built Environment, said: ‘Seeing the project at this stage is an amazing celebration of British engineering, as well as British architecture – particularly the Olympic Stadium, Aquatics Centre and Velodrome, which will provide a lasting legacy for London.’
Paul Davis, an architect and Royal Institute of British Architects representative, said: ‘I’m most impressed by the Olympic Stadium. Not just because it is impressive but because it’s actually so simple. For me that is what some of the best architecture is about.’
A new publication - designing for legacy - which brings together all the designs of the main venues, infrastructure and parklands, is available to download.
