Tokyo 2020: guide to the venues for the delayed Olympic Games Ian Malin
The US$1.4bn Olympic stadium, called
koku-ritsu or “national” by locals, is a building of its time. Some 70,000 cubic feet of forest-certified wood – mainly cedar – from each of the 47 Japanese prefectures were deliberately used in the design eliminating the need for imported timber which would have had a greater environmental impact. The Olympic cauldron will come to light using hydrogen at the opening ceremony 23 July, offsetting carbon emissions. The roof’s giant glass-like solar panels will fuel electricity, and rain water from the roof and pavements will be collected in underground tanks and irrigate the turf on the stadium’s playing fields which will be used for the Game’s athletics and football events.
