The Athletes’ Village created for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris was designed to transform and respond to future inhabitants’ needs.
The 40 architects across 11 offices used Autodesk Revit to coordinate BIM models and export into IFC to collaborate with contractors.
The building designs incorporated solar shading, super insulation, and natural ventilation to reduce the overall carbon footprint by 50%.
The buildings are now being transformed into 2,000 family homes, student housing, office spaces, and cultural and sport facilities.
Creating an Athletes’ Village to house more than 24,000 athletes, trainers, and staff for the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris may seem challenging enough. But for Erik Giudice Architects (EGA), the success of the project depended largely on their ability to transform the buildings into a lasting legacy for the community after the games had ended.
In this video, founder and principal architect Erik Giudice discusses the approach EGA took to ensure they were designing for both near-term and future use. Throughout the process, Autodesk Revit has enabled the collaboration and coordination needed to hit ambitious environmental, economic, and reuse goals.
