About Olympic Building

Usually, before design a new architecture, we need to consider that whether it can integrate into current architecture and environment. Take Olympics for example, host cities face the challenge of maintaining the structures built specifically for these events and integrating them into the current built environment.

Modern Olympic Games have often been lambasted for failing to provide an architectural legacy. According to a study, the overall loss of private and public consumption comes in at $2.1 billion, with the upfront venue development costs sitting at $1.9 billion, leading to the conclusions that the Olympic facilities did not offer great return on investment.

While the 2012 Olympic Games are a far different story. London Mayor Boris Johnson siad, "The difference between London and others is that we’ve taken amazing care with our legacy preparations. We are unlike other host cities at this stage, where six of the eight venues already have their futures assured."

Response was mixed with respect to the London Olympic's overall green ambitions and how this was delivered, particularly in terms of renewable energy use.
