I came up to it, the giant spaceship in the distance. It was a huge concrete structure, round with a big tower. The giant communication tower standing tall like a big phallus. The whole Olympus village was a huge inorganic concrete town. Scattered about were these insect eye like domes, eyes opening little peep holes to the huge underground car park. There was even a separate stadium called the biodome, now used for exhibitions. I really wanted to go to the top but then realised what would be the point. The view around was pretty crap. I have already seen the whole city skyline from the top of the hill. I walked around and around, it was such a cool building. I was very impressed. The more I thought about it, the more I realised how much Zaha Hadid was ripping off the idea for the Olympic village in London. I'm not saying she copied it exactly, but she must have definitely taken more than a little inspiration from it. As I wasn't doing anything there, I left. I could see some weird roof in the distance so I went for it. Little did I know it was a church. It was a very modern church and looked amazing but, it was a church.
