Where would the Olympic Village be built? How do you ensure that stadiums that can only be used for the Games will have a proper function afterwards? How do you organise the infrastructure and mobility for the Games? By combining all functions in a single building? Or by spreading the Games all over the Netherlands? Should they be sustainable Games? Or aimed at an increase in mobility? The NAI, the Rotterdam Academy of Architecture, the Berlage Institute, Winy Maas and the Netherlands Olympic Committee*Netherlands Sport Federation (NOC*NSF) will jointly present an exercise in thinking big. An exhibition and numerous activities centred on architecture and urban design will help you to imagine that the Games will actually take place in the Netherlands in 2028.
