With a strong focus on 'Sustainability' and 'Legacy' there were quite a few temporary building throughout the Olympic Park. This one made from Shipping Containers gave a flavour of the sites previous Industrial past.

During the day the Coca-Cola Beatbox Pavilion looked like a big pile of double glazing units but once night fell it came alive thanks to the lighting. A shame then that during the day the queues were at least half an hour long but as can be seen here by 9pm at night the place was deserted.
From the Press Release : Asif Khan and Pernilla Ohrstedt, said: “The Coca-Cola Beatbox is our largest commission so far and we’re thrilled to have the opportunity to showcase our distinctive brand of architectural design at London 2012. We have created a structure that fuses architecture, music, sport and technology in a completely unique way.
“The beat will draw people in and allow them to personally experience sports through sound away from the main Games venues. Coca-Cola has really allowed us to push the boundaries and we’re looking forward to unveiling the pavilion to the world when London 2012 opens its doors.”

Coming to the end of the photos taken on the first of two days I spent in the London 2012 Olympic Park and having descended the Orbit Tower there was time for a few shots before I headed into the Copperbox for a spot of Goalball.

Given how great the clouds looked in the side of the BP Pavilion at the London 2012 Olympic Park I thought I'd rework my previous upload lightly by cropping to a square and removing all the colour in the red and yellow channels to give it a cooler feel.

Probably one of my favourite shots of the London 2012 Orbit Tower, the viewpoint shows the Anish Kapoor / Cecil Balmond designed structure at it's most elegant and the last rays of the early evening sunshine give the shot a lovely warm glow.
