Interesting selection.

Zaha Hadid's gets two images. Oooh. Having just seen Argo I immediately thought of the Azadi Tower.

The one with the park built over the top of the roof is very intriguing, though I wonder how tall the trees could really get with the amount of soil they'd be able to sit on the roof. It couldn't be very deep before the weight becomes prohibitive.

Zaha's is a heavy version of Calitravas Athens Olympic stadium and the options covered in parkland won't do too well in a serious earthquake....Tokyo takes 2.5 months to decide on a new stadium....Perth....still thinking about it

Why would the ones with green roofs be any more at risk than any of the others? IT would depend (as always) on how well it was built structurally.

Perth - the city where decisions go to die...

[dibo]

presumably if it's got a hill with soil, grass, trees, etc, it's basically a big solid concrete span. lightweight steel cantilevered structures can flex around and survive a fair bit of treatment, but I could see massive chunks of that coming down in a Fukushima scale quake.

The French design is awe inspiring. A roof holding that much weight upon it would be a beast.

Looks like Zaha Hadid got the gig...

Inside it looks like heaps of recent stadiums

[Jeffles]

I like the entrance plaza in your design, crow.

Were number 2....... Simmo...are you referring to the Athens Olympic Stadium?

....any how maybe Perth wants it?...who am I kidding...the budget for Japan was 1.6bn US

[Jeffles]

Bad luck, Buzz Aldrin.
