Abstract Details

2017, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
The modern Olympic host procedure has been flawed for several decades. The system favors a monetary approach as opposed to a cultural approach for picking the host of the Olympics. The cost of each Olympic Games has seen a rapid increase in the past decade, and if left untouched, will create a barrier to almost every nation’s ability to share in this global event. The Olympics began as a series of friendly competition, expanded into a global cultural event and is now a unifying element for a world in conflict. This thesis will present evidence to support the stance that the current system is flawed, and while flawed, has the potential to be injected with new life and new ideas through architectural innovation. This architectural innovation has been developed through extensive research into what is culturally significant about the Olympics, as well as heavily influenced by the history of the athletic stadium, from Greece to the present day. This thesis will examine the significance of a designed second purpose for the stadium.
