The Japan Sport Council on Dec. 14 unveiled two new stadium designs for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics that blend in better with the greenery-rich Yoyogi area and are within the ¥155 billion budget.

"Both designs use wood in their construction materials, and I think that's an interesting aspect" of the technical proposals on the council's website, said architect and critic Takashi Moriyama.

Japanese media have reported that the designs, called simply Design A and Design B, were from Japanese joint ventures. (The Japan Times)
