Paris, 1924

Temporary structures built just to accomodate the men during the time.

Rome Olympic Village (1960)

The apartments were to be used after the games as dwellings for 6500 people. The Olympic Village was a showcase project for Rome in the years following World War II.

904 apartments distributed in 29 multi-story buildings.The Miguel Hidalgo Olympic Village was built on the rural southern edge of Mexico City as a major development project that involved several government agencies. The cheery calm of this postcard image elides the memory of the violent suppression of student protests during the run-up to the 1968 Olympics

Los Angeles, 1932

Temporary structures accompanied by firehouse, hospital, and commerical spaces. First village!

The 1500-building Olympic Village in Rome was designed by Luigi Moretti, at the height of his influence on the city’s urban plan.

Lake Placid, 1980

At the time, arrests and incarceration were approaching record highs so they took over the village. The athletes actually stayed there after it was converted back to a village and later reopened.

Barcelona, 1992

The Barcelona organizers built an entire neighborhood around the Olympic Village, teaming with developers and city officials to redevelop a two-mile stretch along the coast with beaches, parks, open space and art.

Sydney, 2000

In contrast to the public housing built for the Melbourne games, the Olympic Village in Sydney was designed and sold as suburban townhomes and condominiums. Some athletes were housed in what later became garages.

Four identical three-story apartment buildings, two of which still stand, modified into condominiums. Add location.

Munich, 1972

On the second week of the games a terrorist attack occured, killing 11 Isreali athelete. This event made secutiry a top priority during the games. Men and women were seperated into two different villages. The village could hold up to 11,000 people. It was comprised of 3 to 25 story buildings.

Los Angeles, 1984

This fragmented “village” was spread among various buildings on the USC, UCLA, and UCSB campuses, so the architects included design elements such as colorful tubes, which were intended to create a visual sense of connectivity.

Sarajevo, 1984

Abandoned and left to crumble into oblivion, most of the 1984 Winter Olympic venues in Bosnia's capital Sarajavo have been reduced to rubble by neglect as much as the 1990s conflict that tore apart the former Yugoslavia.

Atlanta, 1996

The Atlanta games were financed almost entirely with private funds. The Olympic Village buildings are now dormitories at the Georgia Institute of Technology.

Athens, 2004

_the exit strategy

IOC Sustainability Strategy (The International Olympic Committee)

• Use of existing infrastructure is maximised and temporary and demountable venues are used where no longterm venue legacy need exists or can be justified

• If built, infrastructure is viable and has a minimal environmental footprint

• Sites have a net positive impact on local communities

• Sites respect protected natural areas, and urban green spaces are promoted

• Sites respect protected cultural areas

• Sites conserve water resources and protect water quality

• Mobility solutions are environmentally and socially responsible

• Freight operations are environmentally and socially responsible

• Sustainable tourism is promoted

Strategic Goals of the City Council of Milan Future of the Olimpic Village of Ronchetto

• Active participation and involvement of local communities

• The planned Olympic Village in Milan will be turned into student housing for several nearby universities (As Milan has a growing demand for university accommodation, the Olympic Village development aligns well with the objective of creating affordable housing for students.)

• The Games would build on the environmental practices that the cities recently developed – Milan for the 2015 World Expo

• Complete, continuous and sustainable post-Olympic use of venues is a top priority

• Tourism growth

• Creating affordable student housing and social housing

• Creating inclusive public spaces with mixed functions (mix of plazas, pedestrian areas, shared urban vegetable gardens, large market place, library, exhibition spaces and retail facilities)

• Introducing additional water canal system

• Creating a place for experimentation - new ways of working, inhabiting spaces, enjoying life

• Creating a hub well-connected to both Milan city center and to satellite cities of the metropolitan area.

_revitalization of historical farmhouses in Milan

Lombardy has over 57,000 businesses engaged in agriculture and 8,000 in food and drink production, making it one of the Country’s foremost regions in the farming and food industry; 69% of the region’s land is given over to these activities. At the same time, the Region has a network of higher education and research centres which are among the world’s most advanced, including institutions which work very closely with farmers and food producers. (Expo Milano 2015 - Sustainability Report)

In order to recover urban and periurban farmhouses from both an architectural and a functional point of view The Cascine Milano Association was founded in 2013. The main objectives of the association includes:

_establishment and promotion of an integrated system of places dedicated to agriculture, food, culture and social housing in the metropolitan area of Milan, with a view to economic, social, energy and production sustainability, having as a center the public owned Cascine network

_development of an integrated system of places dedicated to agriculture, food, culture, social housing and the care of the territory of the farms of the Milan metropolitan area, with a view to economic, social, energy and production sustainability.

Some successfull examples of recovered farmhouses in Milan are:

Cascina Cuccagna

Progetto Cuccagna recovers the precious and large spaces of the eighteenth-century homonymous urban farmhouse, falling and abandoned before, to make it a place for meeting and aggregation, an active laboratory of culture, a reference point for the common research of social well-being and quality of life.

Cascina Santa Brera

In the heart of the Parco Agricolo Sud, an ancient farmhouse rich in history, restored with the principles and materials of green building, offers its guests 34 hectares of protected environment, cultivated with the methods of organic farming. Just 10 km from Milan you can find 40 beds in rooms and minialloggi in addition to a catering service based on organic raw materials . Ample internal parking. Friday afternoon, Saturday and Sunday direct sales of honey, organic eggs of pasture hens, meat, salami, preserves, fresh organic fruit and vegetables.

Cascina Merlata

The district consists of a mixité of functions: a set of services including a kindergarten, a primary and a lower secondary school, two nursery schools, equipped public spaces, playgrounds, the historic Cascina Merlata renovated for functions of public interest and the Village Expo 2015, now Social Village that has been converted into residences and services, with renovated homes ready for sale. To complete the project also a shopping center, and the large urban park which extends over an area of about 250,000 square meters, closely integrated with the residences and connected to the already existing green spaces, was totally redeveloped. The Park is also crossed by one of the "green rays" of Milan, that is connected with the system of spaces and cycle paths that radiate up to the center of the city.

_10 detailed areas

Urban plaza

The urban plaza is the entrance from the city to our project area due to its location on the north. It is characterized by a central outdoor playground and a nice riverwalk on the level of the canal. On one side, there is a health and fitness center offering the service for both the inhabitants of the existing city and the new dwellers of the Ronchetto area.

Underground Road

Since the concept of this Olympic Village is to create a sustainable future district we decided to make the project area pedestrian. Thus, we put the planned highway underground connecting it to underground parking spaces that are enough for the residents and site visitors. On top of the underground highway we created a pedestrian public space that leads to agricultural workshop place, urban park with a library and urban gardens.

Main Street

The main street follows the water canal with benches and trees all along the water canal. Two sides of the street are connected with pedestrian and cycling bridges. All buildings located on the main street have 4 floors, first floor for commercial and the rest for residential uses. The street is loaded with various social functions and activities offering shops, markets, cafes, bars and green public spaces. First floor façade is pushed inside the building to create more public space and offer a comfortable passage for pedestrians in rainy weather.

Agro-park

The agro-park is area that remained mostly related with the characteristic of the site. It is characterized by vegetable gardens in order to bring the agriculture back into the city and an agricultural workshop building where to learn and teach the art of cultivation and exhibit its importance to the visitors.

Marketplace

The marketplace is a public space where local farmers and people from satellite cities can sell their agricultural products. It is a place of gathering and a place to discover new ways of living and sharing. There are two buildings dedicated to agricultural market and there is also an open-air market. Besides the agricultural market there is an entertainment center and a large public plaza with green spaces, water canal and benches connecting to metro station.

Metro

Since the accessibility and connectivity are the main features for a successful public space and since we reduced the usage of cars to a possible minimum inside the Olympic Village, we connected a site to both conceived metro stations to north and south. The bridge connects the village not only to metro station but to a hospital that will be built in the nearest future.
