The Japan Sport Council has revealed two new designs for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic stadium. The council did not identify the architects' offices behind the proposals, which are being referred to as A and B, but plans to select the winner this month.
Design A, largely composed of wood and steel, would stand just over 160 feet tall and would insert the center sports arena below grade. Design B, slightly taller at almost 180 feet, would use significant glazing on the outer walls. Both schemes' budgets would be below $1.26 billion, and both proposals call for construction to be completed by the end of November, 2019.
