The look of the Rio 2016 Olympic Aquatics Stadium in baroque style, with the sea and the angels, presented by the Brazilian artist Adriana Varejao. Beijing 2008 had the Water Cube, London 2012 had the iconic wave like-roof, and Rio 2016 has now unveiled the idiosyncratic design that will adorn its main aquatics arena.
The Olympic Aquatics Stadium, one of seven new venues being constructed in Barra Olympic Park, is almost complete. The Rio Municipal Government, which is project managing the construction, reported that the venue was 96% complete in November. It is scheduled to host the swimming test event in April.
