Rio de Janeiro for 2016 Olympics.
AECOM won the International
Competition for the Urban Master
Plan of the Rio 2016 Olympic Park
last August. Once again cities are
incorporating planning for a ‘Games
Mode’ and a ‘Legacy Mode’ where
the area is slowly transformed over
the proceeding years into new
uses. Previous Olympic Parks have
had varying rates of success
transformed areas of cities
including Sydney and
Beijing(although there are still
issues surrounding the main
stadium), whereas Athens has
fallen into disrepair and been hard
hit by the financial crisis.
59. Concept
The park itself, according to the
designers, is inspired by Brazil's
rainforests. It will contain "five
'villages' inspired by rare flora found
in the Atlantica rainforests ... The
villages comprise striking canopy
structures providing shade and
shelter for spectators."
