Montreal Olympic Stadium
Roger Taillibert · Montreal, Canada · 1976
Roger Taillibert's Olympic Stadium was created as a major landmark for Montreal's 1976 Games. The sweeping concrete structure combines a vast arena with a distinctive inclined tower and a complex roof history. Its architecture is best considered together with the surrounding Olympic precinct, where large public routes organize movement between venues. The stadium's changing technical and operational requirements have led to repeated interventions, making it a useful case study in the long-term adaptation of monumental sports infrastructure. Visiting: Interior and tower visits depend on operations and restoration closures. The surrounding public precinct has separate access.
