From the Desk of an Architect

Olympic 2024,

Gensler partnered with the official Washington 2024 team to craft a proposal to be the United States bid city for the Olympic 2024 and Paralympic Games. The master plan created for hosting the games in the Capital Region centered on the theme of “Unity.”

Concentrating event venues in areas that would take advantage of the city’s unique character and icons, the master planning also focused on stimulating development for the Anacostia waterfront.

Gensler prepared diagrams for the sports venues’ complex logistics and helped identify locations for the International Broadcast Center-Main Press Center and the Olympic Village.

Additionally, Gensler developed legacy plans to envision, what the Olympic 2024 facilities would be, and how they would be used, once the games close. Also, have a threads on it; must share with here.
