Architecture should be people related. Architecture should be directly infl uenced by the user

Olympic stadiums and stadiums in general all have some things in common: people, emotions, cheering. All these can be reduced to people and sound. A stadium without one of these elements looses its meaning.

For creating the 2012 London Olympic Stadium we are making use of the people (users), as sound emitters and of the sound, as a form generating device.

Since stadiums in general are stages of introverted spec-tacles, the 2012 London Sound Stadium will interact with both the users inside the stadium, directly taking part at the olympic games, and outside of the stadium, through an interactive skin. This interactive skin acts like a bounding interface between interior and exterior, not as a separating shell, propagating the events taking part at the olympics to the outside.

The skin of the stadium will react to its emitters through both movement deformations and color changes. There-fore the Olympic Games will be sensed from the exterior as well as from the interior.
