GMP to "Re-Design" Montreal Olympic Stadium ๐Ÿ›๏ธ

๐ŸŒ…๐ŸŒ„The Montreal Olympic Stadium, located in Quebec, Canada, and the main venue for the 1976 Summer Olympics, is undergoing a roof renovation by the GMP architectural firm due to the aging of its original structure. ๐ŸŒบ The project is expected to be completed by 2028. ๐ŸŒฟ ๐Ÿ’•GMP's design retains the iconic inclined tower while introducing a lightweight, ๐Ÿ’– high-strength fixed membrane structure to replace the existing retractable roof. ๐ŸŒบThis not only reduces maintenance costs but also enhances the venue's weather resistance and energy efficiency. ๐ŸŒฟ The translucent membrane allows natural light to penetrate, creating a bright and comfortable interior space and reducing the reliance on artificial lighting. ๐ŸŒค๏ธ The new roof echoes the original building's curvilinear aesthetics, offering a seamless visual effect while meeting structural and drainage requirements. ๐ŸŒ… The renovated roof provides a large-span, column-free space, enhancing the venue's multifunctionality. ๐Ÿ’• ๐ŸŒบThe interior design focuses on flexibility and comfort, adapting to various event needs and improving the audience experience with modern facilities. ๐Ÿ’– The project also incorporates sustainable principles, including well-insulated materials and a rainwater collection system, to improve the urban environment. ๐ŸŒฟ Image sources: Grauwald Studio, GMP Architekten๐Ÿ’• ๐ŸŒ„#ArchitecturalDesign #BuildingCase #GMPArchitects
