Appreciation towards Tokujin Yoshioka for providing the following description:

日本东京2020年奥运会主体育馆的方案事件可谓一波三折，让人觉得乌龙的同时也实实在在赚足了眼球。无论现实有多少复杂的权衡，自由的畅想总是美丽的。日本艺术家吉冈德仁就为体育馆做了美丽的想象：他设计了一个浮动在半空的喷泉，让整个体育场变成了奥运圣火的平台。

该设计为吉冈德仁自主创作，没有得到任何设计费。在吉冈德仁的方案中，建筑充满灵活性，为观众打造出非凡体验的平台，提供一种只为人类共性而存在，超越种族和时间的体验。（编辑表示认同，有部分原因是因为编辑去北京鸟巢体育馆印象最深刻的场景包含通过通道到达鸟巢结构顶部，看北京城 － 那里有不同于景山和东三环大楼上的全新视角，而且因为面积更大，走来走去具有更多的自由度。）

The architectural plan for the New National Stadium
– The floating Fountain –
A piece of architecture transformed into a platform for the Olympic Flame

Design is free: it has no definitive answers, and grows like a living being. In parallel with the evolution of technology, design is moving on from the era of challenging physical forms to a completely new age.
The architecture of the future will be founded in an “experience” born out of heightened human sensation and time. Its remit will be to enchant the spectator, in much the same way as immersing oneself in a live operatic performance does.
For me, experiences powerful enough to jolt the heart with the altogether unexpected and ecstatic, comprise the most important “material” that mankind can empathize with. It transcends race and time.

明治神宫自古就是日本的重要象征，位于其附近的国家体育场因此需要具有自然性，能与周边美丽的四季融为一体，同时艺术家赋予了体育馆神秘，轻透，简约的个性，还有日本茶道般的平和意境。

体育馆顶部的浮动喷泉周围是一圈平台，可以成为市民跑步和散步的公共绿地。在夏天，池水能有效降低温度。奥运期间，从喷泉冒出的火焰能形成一个大的奥运火炬，平台也将成为一个世界人民共享的歌颂运动和歌颂勇气的大平台。

The Outer Gardens of Meiji Shrine have been loved by Japanese people since ancient times. The architectural plan for the New National Stadium is based on a design that is at one with nature, by fusing with the beauty of the four seasons. The mysterious, lean, minimalistic design draws from the spirit of “Japanese tea rooms” that epitomizes finely-honed Japanese beauty.

The floating Fountain. Visitors can enjoy strolling and jogging at the tranquil water’s edge amid the greenery of the Outer Gardens. During the summer, the water produces a cooling effect, and it can also be used in the event of a disaster.
“A piece of architecture which transcends form” becomes a “Fountain” for athletes – and at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics it will be reborn as a huge platform for the Olympic Flame, a symbol of courage and hope to people all over the world.

吉冈德仁告诉gooood当他在2015年7月听闻安培首相为奥运会主会场发动重启计划时，他将这个概念也作为对自己的一个挑战，就像运动员挑战人类的极限。这是一个能快乐与幸福的场馆，能创造喜悦的场馆，具有时代精神的场馆，也是艺术家心中的未来描绘。吉冈德仁继续说道：“虽然第二次应征有诸多限制，让包括扎哈哈迪德在内的很多建筑师都没有获得参加机会，但是这个创作是我的一个愿望，我希望这个愿望能再未来实现。”，吉冈德仁还提到他希望现实中的新国家体育场能够成为日本的象征，成为地球运动员的圣地，也成为奥运会的重要遗产。

– An inspiration for all eternity –

In July 2015, when Prime Minister Abe announced the revision of plans for the New National Stadium, the stadium for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, an image occurred to me.
I regard the creation of an idea as a personal challenge, just as an athlete challenges the limitations of humankind. Its realization is a moment of joy and happiness.
This design was created with a sense of appreciation for the joy creation brings, for being born in this age. This design is a depiction of my feelings for the future.

Since the competition this time around called for a design-build format, countless architects including Zaha Hadid and myself were not able to participate. But it is my wish that this idea will live on perpetually and realized somewhere in the world in the future.
I hope the rejuvenated New National Stadium will become a symbol of Japan as a sacred site for athletes from every corner of the earth, and a legacy of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
