The Montréal Olympic Park is launching an international idea competition to reuse and valorize the components of the roof of the Olympic Stadium, an architectural icon for Quebec and Canada.
Student and professionals from the international design and architecture communities are invited to propose spaces, objects, and processes that reuse the materials of the Olympic Stadium’s roof.
