Italian school takes pride in designs for sports venues

Faculty members at Politecnico di Torino are thrilled that they had participated in the design of venues for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

The Polytechnic University of Turin in the northern Italian city, which is known for its refined architecture, was involved in the design of an operation services building at the Shougang Olympic site, where the Big Air competitions are held.

A large State-owned steel plant at the Shougang site was decommissioned in 2005 to reduce pollution ahead of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics.
