One example of his work is the Athens Olympic Sports Complex. It is multiple venues that he designed for the 2004 summer Olympics. A major one he designed was the soccer pitch venue. It is a huge ovular structure with bone like beams rising up and over the field. He was the head architect and engineer in these projects. He had created so many dynamic structures that fellow engineers thought that this would be nearly impossible to finish in time for the Olympics. It was originally built in 1982 but they refurbished it in 2004. It hosted the soccer games and opening and closing ceremonies. It is currently used for the AEK soccer club.
