DESIGN CONCEPTTHE NEW OLIMPIYSKIY IS DESIGNED AS A CITY RESORT — A MULTILAYERED URBAN ENVIRONMENT WHERE SPORT, WELLNESS, ENTERTAINMENT, AND CULTURE INTERCONNECT SEAMLESSLY.
THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT COMBINES FLUID, ORGANIC FORMS AND PANORAMIC SPATIALITY, EXPRESSING THE ENERGY AND DYNAMISM OF MOVEMENT.
THREE MAJOR STRUCTURES — THE MAIN BUILDING, THE SPORTS CENTRE, AND THE AQUATIC CENTRE — ARE LINKED BY A COMMON PODIUM AND A SYSTEM OF INDOOR TRANSITIONS, ALLOWING VISITORS TO MOVE BETWEEN FACILITIES IN ALL SEASONS “ON DRY FEET.”
THE LANDMARK FEATURE OF THE DESIGN IS A 1-KILOMETRE PANORAMIC RUNNING TRACK, LOCATED AT A HEIGHT OF 41 METRES AND FORMING A LOOP BETWEEN THE TWO MAIN BUILDINGS.
ITS SHAPE — SYMBOLISING INFINITY — REPRESENTS CONTINUOUS MOTION AND UNITY BETWEEN CULTURE AND SPORT.

HISTORY AND TRANSFORMATION
ORIGINALLY BUILT FOR THE 1980 SUMMER OLYMPIC GAMES, OLIMPIYSKIY WAS ONE OF EUROPE’S LARGEST INDOOR STADIUMS AND A BENCHMARK FOR STRUCTURAL INNOVATION.
ITS STEEL ROLL-ROOF SYSTEM AND ADAPTIVE INTERIOR VOLUMES MADE IT A SYMBOL OF SOVIET MODERNISM AND ARCHITECTURAL BRAVERY.
AFTER NEARLY FOUR DECADES OF OPERATION, THE COMPLEX WAS CLOSED IN 2019 FOR FULL RECONSTRUCTION.
THE NEW DEVELOPMENT, LED BY MOSCOW’S URBAN REDEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME, RETAINS THE SITE’S SYMBOLIC VALUE WHILE CREATING A FUTURE-READY URBAN DESTINATION.
