Olympic Stadium, Tokyo, Japan
KENZO TANGE 丹下建三
This structure is the National Gymnasiums for the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games.
The critical parts of this form is the suspended high tension cables. The cables are attached to a building core as a vocal point. In addition, the cables are aligned into a sweeping curve to form the unique looking of the building. The form of the roof are designed to resist wind that casue by hurricane in the region.
I think the structure of this building is developed from the concept of spider web hanging on the branches. The branches are just like the two main columns of the building. Without the columns, the other part of the building cannot stand along.
Another natural phenomenon that demonstrates the first principle of this building is a silkworm hanging on the branches
P.S. I think it is really hard to find a perfect natural phenomonon that can reflect the structure of the building.
