Looking Out Week 2 - Charmaine Y






This is the Richmond Olympic Oval in Vancouver, BC, Canada by Cannon Design.  Initially designed for the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, the building was designed to house the speed skating events but is also adaptable to host other sports.  The wooden ceiling contrasts to the glazing throughout the exterior wall and creates a warmer effect to the ice floor for the winter sports and reflects the flooring for other sporting events and creates a holistic atmosphere with the same material on the floor and the ceiling.
