Abstract:
|
"Do we really need to define a structure by the sole purpose it fulfils? Has there ever been a substantial
need to create various ‘Building types’? Couldn’t there be an innovation in the current scheme of
Archetypes that just adapts to the ever-changing needs of the immediate urban structure and performs
subsequently? My thesis, by keeping the Quadrennial events under the lens, aims at questioning the mere
existence of these established norms in an approach to devise solutions that would help cities sustain
longer by reinventing their function. Considering the tremendous impact of an Olympic event that seems to affect the socio-political and
economic framework of the Host city/Nation for years to come, as the basic premise, the thesis attempts
to re-envision the idea of devising a future for the Games as one that is bespoke, reactionery, volatile and in a way metamorphical in its planning, management and design; and one that has the ability to extend the
tremors of its virtues to other facets, defining an all-around development of the partcipating host
city/nation, preparing them for any unforseen circumstances in the future."
