Zaha Hadid Architects have released a 23 minute-long film arguing the case for its controversial £1.3 billion design for the Tokyo Olympic Stadium, that was scrapped by the Japanese government last month

对于扎哈·哈迪德建筑师来说，经历了充满挑战的一年之后，该公司为价值13亿美元的东京奥林匹克体育场(东京奥林匹克体育场)的设计减少了对不断攀升的成本的担忧(在被日本政府彻底取消之前)，该公司以一部长达23分钟的影片回击了这一有争议的设计进行下去的理由。

该公司的电影阐明了其愿景的实用性，并承诺该设计已经开发了两年，并花费了14.7亿日元的费用。该设计将于今年在现场开工，将于2019年橄榄球世界杯(Rugby World Cup)以及2020年夏季奥运会之前的测试活动中完工。该公司说，从头开始设计是一个不必要的风险，如果它的目标是实现低于2520亿日元的价格，那么政府应该重新考虑。

建筑师们认为，在承包商之间引入更多的竞争可能有助于进一步降低成本，并允许实施一种节省时间和削减成本的并行施工方法。视频中写道，东京目前的价格是2520亿日元，用于建造一个基本的8万座体育场。“我们也应该理解，奥运会等活动的固定截止日期，加上市场竞争有限，导致价格上涨。”价格的决定因素是市场和对材料和劳动力的需求。在这种情况下，设计不是决定性因素。这种设计应该被视为在市场上实现物有所值的唯一途径。

除了实用性之外，这部电影还受到了批评，因为它提供了诱人的新渲染和升华，同时详细介绍了日本文化-由传统的日本风景桥、花瓣几何、日本木材百叶窗和人行横道启发而来的剪影只是其中几个突出的地方，从而与它的背景格格不入。从照明到屋顶的尺寸和形状，以及它们对周围环境的影响，设计决策和细节将得到深入的解释。

该公司希望，这段视频连同一本解释性小册子，将“有助于公众对该项目的了解，并就新国家体育场的下一步行动展开辩论”。这一最后的努力是否能扭转政府的决定还有待观察。

The film highlights the scheme's practicalities, stating that the design is ready to start construction on site this year and will be ready for the 2019 Rugby World Cup, as well as the test events before the summer Olympics in 2020

The new stadium design has been in development for two years already and cost the Japanese government ¥1.47 billion in fees to ZHA

In the film, the firm states, 'To start the design from scratch is an unnecessary risk that we think the government should reconsider if its aim is to achieve a lower price than ¥252 billion'

The architects suggest that introducing a new contractor bidding process could help to reduce costs further, as well as allow for the implementation of a time-saving and cost-cutting parallel construction approach

Defending itself against the criticism of spiralling costs, ZHA explains, 'The determining factor in the price is the market and the demand on materials and labour. The design is not the determining factor in these circumstances. The design should be seen as the only way to achieve value for money in the market'

As well as highlighting the practicalities of going ahead with the proposed design, the film confronts the criticism the scheme has received for being at odds with its context

While enticing renders and fly-throughs provide new perspectives, the film also highlights the scheme's references to Japanese culture

Design decisions are explained in great detail – from lighting to roof dimensions and shape, and how they will impact upon the surrounding environment

The firm hopes that the video, accompanied by an explanatory booklet, will 'help the public understanding of the project and debate on the next steps for the New National Stadium'
