Geometry at the Olympic Stadium and British Museum

British Museum - Roof Structure
3,312 unique triangular double-glazed panels


Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park
Great and masterful thought went into the design of this park with the end product being a large scale community development.  Great attention went into the environmental clean up process prior to construction due to the current conditions of the area.  In addition to the unique structures on site, the landscaping alone was a phenomenal feat.  Sustainability and longevity drove the layout of this urban development.



                    Velodrome - Indoor Cycling Center
Roof contains water collection system and solar panels.

Designed to be the fastest track in the world by tailoring the geometry, setting the internal temperature high, and creating still conditions inside to help break records.  The floor was constructed of Siberian pine and the stadium designed to give cyclists a constant sound all the way around the track.

 The Orbit
The mayor wanted a structure that was BIG and people could see from a distance.

Aquatic Swim Center
Architect:  Zaha Hadid

A concept inspired by the fluid geometry of water in motion.
