ANALYSIS:


Olympic overview : 36 The massive undertaking that at times looked perilously close to disaster has confounded its critics: well on schedule, strong on style and sustainability, and ready for life after games Aquatics Centre : 40 It’s going to be much better in legacy mode, but even with its much-derided temporary seating wings and budget-driven reworkings, Zaha Hadid’s venue holds its audience Olympic Stadium : 48 In a games characterised by regeneration, efficiency and reuse, the cleverness in this design is the way it puts sport, for these Olympics and beyond, on the pedestal it deserves Velodrome : 56 Tipped for the Stirling Prize, this striking venue is settling comfortably into place, as ready for the games as for life after they are done Other venues : 59 As well as the headline venues for the games, architects have been busy creating arenas for basketball, handball, water polo, and white water sports – and the complex at Eton Manor
