🏟😅 GMP to "Redesign" Montreal Olympic Stadium

Montreal’s Olympic Stadium in Quebec, Canada—the iconic host of the 1976 Summer Olympics—is getting a roof makeover by GMP Architekten, set to complete by 2028. 🏗️ GMP’s design retains the stadium’s signature inclined tower while replacing the aging retractable roof with a lightweight, high-strength fixed membrane structure. This upgrade slashes maintenance costs, boosts weather resilience, and enhances energy efficiency. 🌞 🌸 The translucent membrane lets natural light flood in, creating a bright, airy interior and cutting reliance on artificial lighting.👧 The new roof mirrors the stadium’s curved aesthetic, blending seamlessly with the original architecture while meeting structural and drainage needs. 🌊 🌸 Its column-free, large-span design boosts the venue’s versatility, hosting everything from sports to concerts. Inside, flexible, comfortable spaces adapt to diverse events, paired with modern amenities to elevate the spectator experience. 🎉 Sustainability is key: high-performance insulation and a rainwater harvesting system reduce environmental impact and improve urban ecology. 🌱 Image Credits: Grauwald Studio, GMP Architekten🎉🤩 #ArchitectureDesign #CaseStudy #GMPArchitekten 🏛️✨
