Abstract

Olympic Games are not only sport event, it is social event as well as cultural phenomenon that serves athletes, spectators, and sports fans on TV screens. Organizers pursue to settle functional environment with incorporated different cultural elements, such as architecture, art, and national kitchen. Sport facilities structure is essential here because of its emotional, aesthetical, and being proud of possibility to compete in such environment aspects. Living environment is very important in Olympic village too; it has to cause joy as well as to offer athletes focussing and resting possibilities. Thus, residential architecture, often untraditional and surprising with unusual architecture details, plays the main role. Olympic village is a concentrated place to be inhabited by 17 thousands people, who would sleep, act, and eat here so the main lunchroom is very important social-cultural part of the village as well. It has to be functional and comfortable for all living, enlivened with tree alleys for meetings, talks, discussions. Another very important element in Olympic village is green areas, mini-parks, pools, trees, .flowers. Particularly this creates the balance between buildings and nature, forms natural illusion of nature beauty in very minimalistic space.
