A sneak peak at the site of Olympic park free from tourists, visitors and sporting enthusiasts.
The ArcelorMittal Orbit is the observation tower near Olympic Stadium. Designed by Anish Kapoor and Cecil Balmond. If you ask me, even good designers have bad days.
I love this explosion of colour. This entire surface is made from rubber. I can see how it would be amusing for the kids to run around on.
This outdoor stage is so much fun to look at! If an echo were ever to materialise, this is what form it would take. Seriously, can you picture it?
This piece of mess is pretty much a giant speaker. The Coca-Cola Beatbox is a piece of experimental architecture created to provide music throughout Olympic park.

The observation tower really is a tower of confusion. I can't wait to see the opening ceremonies. Have a fab weekend friend!

Oh my god...that tower of confusion is AMAZING! I think my favorite part about the Olympics is just seeing the buildings that are built. It's a time when the architects get to be super creative, since the whole point is to make it look eye-catching.

I am going to have to catch up with the Olympic madness and your photos are definitely inspiring me to do so. p.s. I loved the idea of shortbread but had no time to make any so I went out and bought some--definitely a hit with my weekend guest!
