News: Tokyo 2020 Olympics: Zaha Hadid's £1.3bn stadium design ditched amid spiralling costs

The curvaceous Aquatics Centre she
created for the London Olympics in
2012 was described as “magnificent”, winning over doubters despite its expense. But Zaha Hadid’s plans for an even more ambitious Games venue have
been left in tatters after Japan pulled
the plug on its controversial national
stadium.

The celebrated British-Iraqi architect’s winning design for the venue, set to be the centrepiece of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, had been compared to a bicycle helmet. But scepticism turned to anger as the stadium’s construction costs spiralled out of control, with one
critic describing it as “a turtle waiting for Japan to sink so that it can swim away”.

In the face of increasing public fury
over the venue’s £1.3bn price tag, the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced that the project would be ditched. The decision means the stadium will now not be ready in time for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, throwing preparations for the tournament into disarray.

“We are scrapping our plans for the
stadium, and starting from zero,” Mr
Abe said. “The Olympics are a party for our people, and they and the athletes are the main players. We need to make it something that they can celebrate.”

Japan’s decision is the latest setback for Ms Hadid, whose firm has been criticised for working in countries with questionable human rights records.

She is one of my favorite modern Architects,  read more about this news here.

Ever Green Structures : Casa Mila

Antonio  Remains one of my best Architects of all times it is my joy and honor to feature one his numerous awe-inspiring works on my blog.

Casa Milà, a beacon shining with creation and knowledge Casa Milà, popularly known as ‘La Pedrera’ (the stonequarry), an ironic allusion to the resemblance of its façade to an open quarry, was constructed between 1906 and 1912 by Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926). For its uniqueness, artistic and heritage value have received major recognition and in 1984 was inscribed on UNESCO WorldHeritage List, for its exceptional universal value. Nowadays it is the headquarters of Fundació Catalunya La Pedrera and houses a cultural centre that is a reference point in Barcelona for the range of activities it organises and the different spaces for exhibitions and other public uses it contains. Casa Milà today is a beacon shining with creation and knowledge, a great container full of content, which has a crucial role to play in the transformation of society and commitment to the people.
