12 buildings to look forward to in 2020
Kengo Kuma's Tokyo 2020 Olympics stadium and the Zaha Hadid-designed desert Bee'ah Headquarters are among Lizzie Crook's picks of the most exciting new buildings opening in 2020.
National Stadium, Japan, Kengo Kuma
This year will see the opening of Kengo Kuma's stadium at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. It will comprise an oval, wooden-lattice structure wrapped by plants to complement its woodland site.
The three-tiered, 80,000-seat National Stadium has been subject to controversy as it replaced initial plans for a Zaha Hadid-designed stadium, which was scrapped over escalating costs.

Datong Art Museum, China, Foster + Partners
The long-awaited Datong Art Museum by Foster + Partners is expected to be completed in 2020, seven years later than planned. It will be distinguished by four overlapping peaks wrapped in Corten steel and will sit beside three other major new buildings within Datong New City's cultural plaza.

Poem Pavilion, UAE, Es Devlin
Another big event taking place this year is the Dubai Expo 2020, which will see pavilions designed by the likes of Santiago Calatrava, Foster + Partners, BIG and Grimshaw.
One of the most highly anticipated designs, however, is Es Devlin's performative Poem Pavilion that will use artificial intelligence to animate its facade. It is the UK's first World Expo structure created by a female designer.
