THE ONE STADIUM
Unlikely as it is that any of us will experience this year s troubled Tokyo Olympics in person, factor in a visit to the unique 60,000-seat National Stadium if you do eventually travel to the Japanese capital. The eco-stadium, where the main track and field, football finals and the opening and closing ceremonies will be staged, was designed by Japanese starchitect Kengo Kumo. The building s generous cedar cladding draws a link to nature, tempering its mostly concealed steel structure. Post-Games, locals and visitors will be able to stroll around the stadium s plant-draped elevated outer walkways. See tokyo2020.org
