Olympic Park

It has been a while since I last went to the Olympic Park. So I returned this weekend to see what it would look like post the Games. I really like the venue; it's an interesting mixture between wildlife and formal architecture.


One of the more interesting buildings is the velodrome, with its hyperbolic paraboloid shape and a red cedar timber outside it simply looks fantastic.


You can bring your race bike along or simply rent one for the day and off you go...


I also liked the Aquatics Centre, and some features seem to stem directly from the movie "I Robot", although those are just the spectators' seats....
