While this kind ofnews story would often be ignored as just another example ofthe Chinese government destroying cultural history in the name ofprogress, the story of Qianmen had a new twist. Not only was Qianmen a protected heritage area under a 2002 Beijing Municipal Government Conservation Plan, but the destruction was said to have happened because ofthe upcoming 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Was the development ofQianmen in step with Olympic ideals and sustainable development? This thesis explores the sustainable development agenda ofthe International Olympic Committee, Agenda 21, in order to analyze the agenda, its impact in driving development policies in host cities Sydney, Australia and Beijing, China, and to what v extent planners incorporated historic preservation into Olympic development policies in both cities.

Despite the slogan of “One World, One Dream,” the Beijing Olympic Games turn out to be a multi-themed mega-media event. The rejection of Beijing’s first bid for hosting the Games, and the approval of the second were both related to political concerns (Brownell 2008; Haugen 2008).

    Themed Design and Engineering: Disney Imaginations Design Competition

    Themed Design and Engineering: Disney Imaginations Design Competition A Major Qualifying Project Submitted to the Faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree in Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering By Megan Mueller Advisor: Pradeep Radhakrishnan Date: December 11th, 2018 This report represents work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its web site without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, see http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/Projects ​ Copyright Information The work presented here is copyrighted by Megan Mueller and Professor Pradeep Radhakrishnan. 1 Abstract Themed entertainment is a innovative way to apply design engineering to projects and experiences that are for the purpose of entertaining people. Theme parks, roller coasters, interactive experiences are just a few examples of themed entertainment projects. This project looks into the design process that a team of students went through to design a project for the Disney Imaginations Competition. Following the prompt for the competition, the team chose to revitalize the 2008 Beijing Olympics venue but encouraging guests to “Relive, Unite, and be Inspired” by attractions and experiences that are located at the project site. Among other attractions, the Relive section allows guests to watch virtual reality videos of the opening ceremonies, the Unite section provides a boat ride from guests to travel along the Dragon River, and the Inspire section has space for guests to participate in healthy activities for the environment and for themselves. The paper goes through the steps taken to complete the project and has a deeper dive into a Boat Ride design and details.
