Wednesday, 14 April 2021
An international team to masterplan the Olympic Village for Milan Cortina 2026 has been announced, with a consortium including London-based PLP Architecture and New York City’s Diller Scofidio + Renfro, Carlo Ratti Associati of Turin and Gross Max of Edinburgh.
The competition sought proposals to transform Milan’s Porta Romana railway yard - an enormous 216,779 square metre disused train depot - into a 1,000-unit Athletes’ Village along with offices, social housing, railway infrastructure and a large 100,000 square metre park connected to the wider city.
Following the Games, the accommodation will be converted into student housing.
