Standing proud against the East London skyline, the temporary Basketball Arena for the London 2012 Games is a structure of heroic proportions. A ‘skeleton’ frame measuring 30m high and spanning 96m, swathed in 20,000m2 of crystal white tensile fabric, the arena resembles a magnificent, gigantic ice cube.
Awesome seems a fitting word to describe it. The individual roof panels alone weigh 3/4 of a tonne each. A feat to behold, it was also a feat to install! If its awe inspiring presence in the Park wasn’t enough, the stunning structure is set to become a London 2012 showman when it reflects the planned lighting display. Innovative and efficient, the structure had to deliver on many levels, it is the largest temporary structure on the Olympic Park.
Having just got over the epic task of putting it up, we are trying not to think forward to the day it has to come down.
