With a capacity of 3600 places, and an alternative to its ‘grand sister’, the small olympic hall, is embedded carefully in the protected Olympic Park ensemble as it almost disappears.

The huge notch, cut into the hill, which covers the building, was underlined with light on both sides. More images and their description after the break.
