Hello and welcome to part IV of my London Olympics series! I've decided to make another post based on the Olympics because the Olympics often showcases modern Olympics as well as having cultural masterpieces. Today we are going to review a very exquisite and interesting piece of architecture present in the London Olympics: the Royal Artillery Barracks which hosted the shooting and archery competitions. This was particularly interesting because obviously each "splat" represented the impact of a bullet after it hits a wall - it is actually very reminiscent of paintball projectiles after landing on something. This became the design keyword here as this was presented as a very quirky and fun style designed to not only represent the venue's sport but also to reflect the lightheartedness that is London Olympics with it's red and blue and white which is another bow to the colors of the United Kingdom. I like this concept as it really stands out amongst the other drab buildings nearby and I think that this is one of the more interesting concepts out there.
