The New Stadium for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo was unveiled this week as Japan continues its efforts to reduce ballooning costs to stage the Games.
随着日本继续努力降低举办奥运的预算成本,本周东京2020夏季奥运会场馆亮相。
The original design by celebrated architect Zaha Hadid was scrapped in July due to its almost two billion euro price tag. The new concept, designed by local architect Kengo Kuma, will cost half that amount.
著名建筑师扎哈·哈迪原先的设计因近乎二十亿欧元的花费被废除。日本本土建筑师库玛采用新的设计理念,只需一半的造价。
Kuma is known for blending traditional Japanese style with modern elements and at the unveiling of his design said:
库玛善于将日本传统风格与现代元素融合,他在设计揭露见面会上说:
I think this time, the special point was that the surrounding is covered by a green forest. This time, it’s not just about the shape of the building and how unique it is but how the structure melds together with the forest. I think that that will be the legacy and I think this signifies Japanese style.
我想这个时候,特别的一点是周围覆盖了一片绿色的森林。这一次,不只是建筑的形状以及其如何独特,还包括建筑如何与森林融合在一起。我认为这将是我们的遗产,意味着日本的风格。
Kuma’s winning design is a 68 thousand-seater stadium that can be increased to 80 thousand if needed.
库玛的获奖设计是一个容纳6万8千个座位的体育场,如果有需要可以提高到8万个座位。
Construction is expected to be completed in November 2019.
建筑预计将于2019年11月完成。
