• London Olympics 2012 Basketball Arena made recyclable and reusable

  • Basketball.jpgLondon seems ever-excited with the Olympics to be held about a year from now, and has just finished work on its Basketball Arena at the Olympic Park. And the best part of it all is that this arena, one of the largest temporary venues ever built for the Olympics, will be dismantled and moved elsewhere for further use once the games are finished! Using a 1,000-tonne steel frame, this innovative and comparatively inexpensive to set-up arena will soon find its place and use again, making it a larger than life flag-bearer of the recycle and reuse concept!


    A truly inspiring work of architecture, this Basketball Arena is designed to come off completely clean, without damaging the environment around, working as a steady muse for just about anyone planning on a green building spree.
