Masterplan Olympic Village

Extend the memory of the Olympic Games over time and enhance the path of concrete transformation of the city, choosing to organize a large working group to ensure compositional articulation and avoid formal monotony. The team is coordinated by Benedetto Camerana, who chooses to involve architects from different European backgrounds and cultures, invited not because of their fame, but because of their expertise in the various fields involved in the project. The post-Olympic conversion, completed over three years, confirms the designers’ desire to create a new part of the city.
