Olympic Park Munich

Beautiful stadium, incredible what we're still working on was done back in '72! so long ago, and it was all calculated by hand... we have it easier with computers, but i bet it could be done more delicately today, still... this was the olympic stadium, it had been converted into a piece of a really nice park, well used skating/biking paths, river, cool to see it still in use and not stranded in the middle of nowhere.

On the walk there we got to see the BMW museum that there's this huge hype about architecturally.... er.... it didn't look that special. critic, but... there was this 30 year old stuff next door that did about the same thing, looked like about as well, to say nothing of some amazing glass-dipping structures in italy that just opened... maybe i'll just have to see what it looks like when its done :P.

Tony and I had watched the movie 'Munich' in Switzerland and we were hoping to see some of the locations from the movie, but it didn't happen. probably shot in toronto anyway.Posted by Picasa
