DOS Architects Olympic swimming pool in Kurdistan by DOS architects, Hewlêr , Kurdistan. Having won the competition to build the 'olympic swimming pool' in Hewlêr , kurdistan, london-based DOS architects have shared some images of their proposal with us. Taking cues from undulating waves formed by water, the stadium is comprised of two massive curving concrete beams that replicate the same bend as a section through agitated water. The two integrated counteracting structural members define a steel and glass roof plane that illuminate both the interior pool and 2000-seat capacity arena with plenty of natural light, as well as the timber-clad sides that taper out towards a public square buffer zone between the parking and the event building. The entire ground floor is wrapped in a continuous layer of transparent glazing that creates a clear threshold through which guests may enter into the venue. construction is expected to begin later this year. http://www.designboom.com/architecture/dos-architects-olympic-swimming-pool-in-kurdistan/ |

Beautiful, but why 'Olympic'? Does Kurdistan want to host the Olympics in the near future? |
