Populous Lands Commission to Design 2014 Olympic Stadium

Proving it will be just successful as it was under its previous moniker, the mega-firm Populous has just announced that it has landed the contract to design the focal-point stadium for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia (by “focal-point” we mean the one that gets most associated with that year’s games, like the “Bird’s Nest” National Stadium in Beijing last year). The Kansas City-based Populous will start work on the gigantic stadium immediately, or just as soon as they can staff themselves up enough to cover two massive stadiums at once (they’re also responsible for London’s main stadium for 2012).
