Palasport Olimpico And Stadio Comunale Area In Turin




An international competition was held to design the new Palasport Olimpico , which is the larger of the two ice hockey venues, to renovate the Stadio Comunale , which hosts the opening and closing ceremonies, and to rebuild the surrounding area. The design competition was won by a group of Tokyo based architects, led by Plowed Isozaki .

In its conception, the chief concern for architects was to redefine the urban space as this part of the city transitions from the European Athletics Championships in 1934 to a new configuration that will host the 2006 Olympics .
