The project of the London 2012 Summer Olympics basketball stadium was created in collaboration with consultants of KSS sports and as its name suggests, would be used to organize basketball this summer Olympic Games yeara s.

Made with 1,000 tons of steel, design is very cheap and 100% Green, but certainly presents a great case for the incorporation of more sustainable designs for events of the same structure and Crown, the assistance as the Olympic Games. Clad in white, basketball stadium is composed of recyclable materials that can be reused.

For now, the London 2012 Olympics basketball stadium is one of a kind project to the members of the Olympics Organizing Committee, as well as host nations concerned agree that such sports arenas potentially could bring games to Nations with less purchasing power and give a boost to their economies at the same time make the Olympic games more green.

The underlying technology of the project is based on a universal system of modules that can be grouped and separated at high altitudes. The basic structure of the clouds is supported by an aluminium fitted by a fabric membrane chassis.

 For the stable vertical movement, the clouds have connected rigidly with each other.
The lower parts of the modules define funnels of rain, which they accumulate moisture and can make to pour down as rain. The upper layer is integrated with solar elements, that will be the solar energy that can be used for lighting, as well as life support.

Emotion on the various scenarios that clouds will be different uses is quite prominent. They can be used to cover forms of park or accommodate VIPs in the areas of skiing mountain, etc.. Once the Olympics are done with the 'clouds' can be used in the streets of the canopy to various festivals, remaining integral for entertainment in the city of Sochi.
