Abstract

New York City offers the Olympic movement the chance to tell a very powerful story. It has eight million of the most culturally diverse people in the world. This diversity can only be strengthened by the influence the games hold on the world. Creating a structure that can embody the entire sensation of the games is the challenge. It will be placed in the Chelsea district of Manhattan's West Side. This location is next to the quickly improving Hudson River. This river is representative of the way everyone in the world flows to there destination. In this case the river will bring everyone together in the Olympic Stadium. It will serve as the resting place for thousands of athletes and millions of fans who are in search of the greater glory and the sense of brotherhood that accompanies the Olympic Games. My hope is only to strengthen this feeling through proficient Architecture and a feeling unmatched by any other event on the planet.
