The 800sq m pavilion, with a steel superstructure, will be built on an elevated site above the Waterworks River, which runs between the Olympic Stadium and the Aquatics Centre.

Christopher Lee, principal architect at Serie, said:  “The design takes the idea of the pavilion in the park – the Victorian bandstand – but instead of one pavilion we envision nine pavilions clustered together to form a family.”

The lower level will house visitor exhibits while the top floor will house a series of stand-alone pavilions where BMW’s latest vehicle innovations will be shown.

Water from the river will be used to cool the building, and will be returned to the river via a water-curtain feature.

Last month Design Council Cabe praised the pavilion, and recommended that legacy organisers consider retaining it for future use at the park.
