ABOUT ARCHITECTURE OF THE GAMES Architecture of the Games started in August 2013, with the aim of informing architects and others interested about spatial and architectural design within the Olympic Games. We write mainly about urban planning, landscape architecture, architecture and infrastructure. Next to this we also pay attention to the visual identity of the Olympic Games. Once every 4 years all eyes are focused on one event, The Olympic Games. Upon this podium, every athlete and host city wants to show their best face to the world. The architecture of the venues are often used as a tool and therefore become iconic for the event. Think of the tent-like roof construction of the Olympic Stadium in München (Frei Otto, 1972) or the impressive ‘Bird’s Nest’ in Beijing (Herzog & De Meuron and Ai Weiwei, 2008). At Architecture of the Games you will read the latest news, complemented with analyses and reports of visits to (former) host cities. We follow cities from the first candidature, during the bid process and the preparation in the run up to the Games. Finally, we report on the legacy that the Games leaves behind on the city. Currently, Architecture of the Games is the only website that is completely dedicated to this subject. In the last few years we have grown rapidly. In 2020, our website has had visitors that hailed from more than 195 countries.

“IT IS NOW FOR THE ARCHITECTS TO FULFIL THE GREAT DREAM, TO LET SOAR FROM THEIR BRAINS A RESPLENDENT OLYMPIA, AT ONCE ORIGINAL IN ITS MODERNISM AND IMPOSING IN ITS TRADITIONALISM, BUT ABOVE ALL PERFECTLY SUITED TO ITS FUNCTION. AND WHO KNOWS? PERHAPS THE HOUR WILL STRIKE WHEN THE DREAM ALREADY COMMITTED TO PAPER WILL BE BUILT IN REALITY.” PIERRE DE COUBERTIN (1910) SOURCE: THE OLYMPIC MUSEUM
