Where’s my silver jump-suit?

January 26th, 2009 by Dave@LGUK
 
I might be a little late on the uptake here, but last week I saw, for the first time, these giant ad-screens on the London Underground. I'm in two minds about them. Part of me is amazed at the paper-thin giant screens and the sheer level of 50's style vision-of-the-future they exude.

November 8th, 2007 by Dave@LGUK
 
The design of the London Olympic stadium has been revealed. It will be an 80,000 seat stadium of which 55,000 of those seats will be demountable making way for a 25,000 seat athletic stadium when the games have finished. This seems to be the focus of the design - creating a spectacular stadium for the event but very much taking into account the purpose of the stadium after the main event has finished. A fairly revolutionary approach to stadium building, and a refreshing move away from the tendency with stadium building for each one to out do the next in terms...
