Olympic Breath: Keep the Flame Going
View/ Open
Abstract
Today’s Olympic Complexes have been left abandoned since they started in
1896. This due to lack of planning for the life of the complex after the games. They were
to believe that they could run on the occasional professional game or concert, and tours
that would be held there. It has been proven that the stadiums/arenas are not designed
well enough for multiple sports and concerts, and that tours do not bring in enough
money. Countries will plan to demolish the complex from the start. Olympic complexes
can help support the community by designing it to be a multi-use and self-sustaining
complex. This way the places where dreams came true and tax dollars where put in can
stay around for decades and not just a few years.
