Munich Olympic Stadium

The 1972 Summer Olympics were hosted in Munich, Germany in this spectacular, 80,000 seat stadium. The partial roof is made from plexiglass panels suspended in a web formed into a tent by huge 'tent poles'. This tent-like theme threads across all the other buildings of the Olympic Park.

The afternoon I visited, they had just finished cutting the grass and putting the lines down for an upcoming football match of FC Bayern München.
