New images of the Olympic stadium were revealed by Building Design yesterday, which hinted at the use of hemp to cover the facility. It sparked some pretty grumpy responses from readers, berating the ODA for tokenism in putting forward a sustainable material as a feint to environmental credentials rather than a truly sustainable design in the first place. A G Pearce states - "How about this as an idea - to make it green, just don't clad it. All the hemp is doing it hiding untidy engineering and architectural engineering. If you designed the stadium well in the first place you could dispense with the cladding which will no doubt be shipped from mars using even more co2 thingy's." And a cheap, but still funny, gag from Theo Chalmers: "There goes our last hope for a drug free Olympics!"
