The Bizarre Architecture of the Olympics

Mark Byrnes, of The Atlantic Cities, has a nice little slideshow of the architecture of the London Olympic Games.

I found the architecture disappointing - mostly bizarre and lacking humanity. Even the aerial shot of the parklands looks inhumane in its excessive scale and lack of trees. There seems to be an unfortunate trend in Olympic architecture where, in an effort to be unique, architects create strange structures lacking any basis in the human experience.
