The Olympic Roof Reuse

An eco-creative challenge focused on its neighborhood

It is time to take bold collective action towards circular architecture to accelerate the socio-ecological transition.

With this goal in mind, The Montréal Olympic Park is launching an international idea competition to reuse and valorize the components of the roof of the Olympic Stadium, an emblematic building in Québec and architectural icon on a Canadian scale.

What can be done with hundreds of tons of materials when the current roof of the Montréal Olympic Stadium is dismantled? Will we be able to take up the challenge of this Olympic roof reuse, while being part of a circular architecture approach, thus enhancing the quality of life of citizens impacted by climate change?

The international design and architecture communities, both students and professionals, are invited to propose spaces, objects and processes that will constitute an important legacy for our city and for the Province of Québec.

The aim of this competition is to provide inputs to the Olympic Park’s contemplation on the possibilities of reusing the materials of the Olympic Stadium’s roof.

An Olympic ambition: Reuse, recycle and recover the majority of component parts from the Olympic Stadium’s existing roof.
