It seems like the spec for Tokyo Olympics is being downgraded by the day.

Things not being built, the main stadium getting a considerable downsize.

Makes a mockery of all the plans promised to get them doesn't it.

Can't say I've noticed anyone talking about the redesign either, only the petitions against knocking the old one down and building something new, the proposed one in particular.

 

They're currently knocking down another Tange building, the old Akasaka Prince which they are taking down with a new floor by floor technique. It was the ripply hotel by the spaghetti junction at Akasaka Mitsuke. We stayed there once on a deal and I liked it. The room and bed were big and it had a nice separate bath and toilet. It didn't seem remotely dated to me, and much better than hotels that now get loads of gaijin guests, like the Shiba Park.

I think the whole thing is an outrageous waste of money BUT, places should be held to their promises.

Otherwise what's the frigging point of the presentations etc. all make believe

This was what was sold

This is the current version, before inevitable further cuts

Somehow the new version makes me think of Roomba.

 

Can't say I'm particularly fond of either one, though.
