In this animated workshop together with a large number of present, progress in the design of the Olympic Framwork was discussed.
From May 2010, the combination One Architecture and Zwarts & Jansma to are working on the design of the Olympic Framework, commissioned by the Ministry of I and M (Infrastructure and Environment).
