From prehistory right up to the present day - the fabric wrap for the Olympic Stadium is finally being unveiled, just a few days before the Games begin. The stadium by itself is a tad underwhelming, so we look forward to seeing how artist Sophie Smallhorn’s colourful wrap will transform the Populus-designed Olympic stadium. The wrap is formed of canvas banners that run from the top to the bottom of the stadium’s exterior, creating 300 smaller ‘doorways’. Each banner is assigned a different colour from a palette of 56 colours in total to create an undulating effect.
