This is a video made in 2009 during a walkthrough of the Berlin Olympic Village in 1936, including some footage of abandoned venues and the Olympic pool. Though it is not as telling as physical experience, it is still a haunting video to watch, as you get a sense of what these places once were, […]
Megastructure Reloaded “Archigram’s Plug-in City, Constant Nieuwenhuys’ New Babylon and Yona Friedman’s La Ville spatiale rank among the incunabula of the 1960s. Combining visionary architecture, pop culture, art, and situationist rebellion, they became known far beyond the narrow confines of urban planning. Till now, however, there has been no exhibition dealing explicitly with megastructuralists’ vision. […]
Our current research involves us mapping every venue from every Summer Olympic Games. From there we can layer information such as infrastructure and population density to understand the various factors which drive the location of different venues. We are also looking at establishing a catalog of venue layouts. For instance, Helsinki in 1952 shows […]
www.elementalled.com/leducation/blog/innovative-technology/led-lights-make-augmented-vision-a-reality/ “University of Washington researchers have figured out how to implant semitransparent red and blue LED lights in contact lenses, for the purpose of receiving and displaying data in sharp visual images and video. This means wearers will literally be able to watch TV or view photos that are projected directly onto their eyeballs.” […]

Predominant winds would determine the routes and speed of the hovering cloud, which would move from place to place without any fixed destinations. Passengers would board the cloud […]
The link is to a site that has many images of the infrastructure built for the 1936 Berlin Olympics. The images show the conditions of the structures as they existed for the games and as they exist now. The stadium has gone through a few phases of redevelopment, but most of the buildings only […]
Infographic which may be interesting when thinking about a timeline for the projects:
The largely conservative news outlets during the 1932 Olympics in Las Angeles tended to have bias against women as serious athletes. Their role as wives and mothers rather then athletes were more significant. News of women’s scores, times, and wins were less distributed then the men’s. When talking about the athletes, women’s names were preceded […]
