Vancouver hosts the next winter Olympics. So what will its Olympic architecture be? “Turin served the world divine chocolate and a legacy of architecture by geniuses: a university complex by Norman Foster, the redeveloped Lingotto factory complex by Renzo Piano, the Palasport stadium by Arata Isozaki. For its part, Vancouver will host some fine moments in city building, such as the Olympic Village, but the city is inviting the world to “come play with us” in buildings beaten up by the rising cost demands of an overheated construction industry. Expect a lot of metal cladding and concrete block.”
