Olympics Village in Iceland

Author:Mladen Zivanovic

Welcome!

You've been brought on board by Íþróttasamband Íslands with a unique task: promoting Iceland as the ideal host for the 2036 Olympics. Unlike traditional Olympic-hosting cities, Iceland lacks a single metropolis large enough to accommodate the games. However, a brilliant concept has emerged: - advocating for Iceland as the host nation and spreading the Olympic Games across various locations throughout the country.

Who are you?

Two urban city planners work together to design a proposal for neighbourhood that will host 3 sports max. A pair of urban city planners collaborate to draft a proposal for a neighborhood.
