Well, it turns out that people actually want to watch the events that the building is designed to house, and the planners/architect didn't think to incorporate this idea into the building in an intelligent, modular way. So, a building whose primarily purpose (other than the sporting stuff, maybe) is to look light and swooping instead looks like a half-ton of chopped liver dumped on a picnic table.
I just cannot understand how they did not realise this to begin with and incorporated a design for temporary seating in to the original brief, rather than building it, standing back to admire their handiwork and going: facepalm "shit we forgot to add the seats! Does anyone know where we can get a shitload of scaffolding cheap?"
