2012 London -Recycling the Future
While the Chinese are busy building one of the world's mega stadiums in Beijing, the organizers of the London 2012 have developed one of the planet's great recycling schemes that could offset construction costs, and be sure that their stadium finds a purposeful second life by dismantling around 70% of the proposed London Olympic Stadium, pack up the components, and send them to the host of the 2016 .
In the words of Tessa Jowell, the Minister: "No-one can say we've compromised on design, on sustainability or on the legacy potential."
The concept is part of a new approach to the Olympic Games. Rather than
building everything new every four years, the “prefab” stadium idea
allows facilities to be built in one city, then moved as efficiently as
possible and be adapted to existing arenas in the new host city.
London's stadium was specifically designed by HOK Sport to be disassembled and sold on, preventing wasteful obsolescence. The London Olympic Stadium is effectively designed as a 25,000 seat concrete bowl that has an additional 55,000 seats placed on top of it in a temporary structure, which can be moved and installed somewhere else.

Well, talking about lego games, well now we can see Vietnam postulating, since other country would do the construction.
