Nic Lehoux This Friday sheet left the Winter Olympics 2010 in Vancouver, Canada. Over time, this major sporting event has become an investment opportunity and urban renewal which in some cases has been successful, and others failed. But apparently, one of the most emblematic of these games facilities Winters is on the right track. This is the Richmond Olympic Oval (Richmond Olympic Oval) office designed by Cannon Design. The project is located in an area of 13 acres owned by the city located near the airport along the Fraser River, the central part of a renovation project that includes river edge development with a mix of residential, commercial uses and equipment. After the Games, the Oval will become sheet an international sports center category (sports medicine, sports organizations offices, infrastructure for high performance athletes), thanks to a flexible design can be used for different sports (not just winter ) and community sheet activities, fulfilling the mission of being an urban catalyst. Something worth mentioning is that this building was opened in 2008, almost two years before the event, demonstrating good management by the organization. Andrew Doran Returning sheet to the building itself, from the Calgary Olympics 88 decision that the tests were speed skating indoors due to changing climatic conditions are taken. Given the size of the track, this has always been a challenge to structures, so to justify their investment sheet is necessary to provide flexible use in the future as I mentioned earlier. Derek Lepper addition, for the office was very important to develop an iconic way to add character to this new community. That's why the design is inspired by Garza, typical bird of the river, through a series of strips in the form of feathers that cover the broad light of the enclosure and return in the edges of the building creating a canopy covering spaces exterior. Derek Lepper From the point of view of sustainable building has achieved LEED Silver certification, something remarkable given the scale and use of the building. For example, the energy used to produce ice is captured and then heat the interior, and is currently under study a small geothermal power plant that feeds to the enclosure and around the new neighborhood. Hubert Kang Photography sheet Through sheet the large covered a lot of catching rain water, which is introduced into the gray water systems of the building. The rest is stored in a lagoon in front of the Oval and is used for watering outdoor areas. The water is maintained by a lower source oxygenate handles. The interior sheet roof panels are made of recycled wood and with an area of 100 x 200 meters is the largest surface has been covered with reclaimed wood. The location of the building sought to have the least impact on existing trees, and the few that had to be felled were used in construction. Model exploited 3si Consultants Risk Strategies, Inc.
