Questions About Controversy

In the following blog post I will discuss some questions regarding my controversy for project 3.

For my project 3 complex act of public speech I will be discussing the controversy happening in Tokyo,  Japan right now where the plans that Zaha Hadid Architects have put together for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics have been scratched due to budget and cultural concerns.

WHO
1. What other projects has Zaha Hadid worked on at this large of scale?
2. Who exactly is expected to take on the project if Zaha Hadid's plans remain scratched?
3. Is there an influence (powerful person) on the Japanese government that is causing them to change their mind about Zaha Hadid?

WHAT
1. What is the Japanese government planning to do now that they don't have plans for a stadium?
2. What, besides budget, are the other problems Japan is having with the stadium?
3. What power-move will Zaha Hadid make now that she is no longer a part of this plan? (She has power as the highest paid architect in the world).

WHEN
1. Last I heard, Zaha's plans were recently scratched. Has Japan selected an alternative plan/architect?
2. When will the stadium be built? In time for the 2020 olympics?
3. When does Japan want to select a new stadium by if they haven't already?

WHERE
1. Where in Tokyo is the stadium?
2. Where, culturally, does Tokyo want the stadium's aesthetic to be?
3. Where is Zaha Hadid from and where is her next project?

HOW
1. How is the controversy presented in Japan vs. in the United States?
2. How does the media alter the presentation of bias from either side of the controversy?
3. How will the Japanese government handle the controversy, from a political/image standpoint?
