2028 LA Olympic Village

The charrette premise and challenge were based around the 2028 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. Participants were given the location of a site in Carson, California hypothetically donated for the Olympic Village. It not only challenge teams to create an Olympic Village that would serve its function, unify athletes from around the world, represent Los Angeles, and embody the Olympic Spirit, but also to consider the future of the structure and how it may be repurposed after the Olympic Games. Inspired by Herni Matisse’s artwork, the buildings were laid out as people hand in hand at the periphery of the campus while maintaining a open plaza in the center, serving as commercial and public area. After Olympic Games, the Village will be repurposed as an eco-park to accommdate citizens and visitors. Residential buildings will be partly removed and reused as landscape. The temporary hexagon modules will be relocated for housing the homeless or reused as event venues.
