  • LONDON 2012 a DECADE in the MAKING PRESS PACK Bid Masterplan Venues
    LONDON 2012 A DECADE IN THE MAKING PRESS PACK BID MASTERPlan VENUES BRAND OVERlaY LegacY actiVation LONDON 2012 A DECADE IN THE MAKING PRESS PACK BID Populous has been involved in 10 Olympic Games and were the bid architects for 3 consecutive host city awards for the cities of London 2012, Glasgow 2014 and Sochi 2014. Our unique experience allows us to identify and optimise the use of the city and surrounding areas to create compelling and compact venue distribution plans for potential host cities. With our in-depth analysis, we work alongside bidding cities to provide a comprehensive proposal to organise the Games that will appeal to the IOC and other major competition committees. Since 2003's initial site exploration, Populous assisted the London 2012 bid team with in house architects who created the bid winning London wide sports masterplan. MASTERPLAN Our process of masterplanning begins with a long term legacy strategy as the starting point for creating vibrant and sustainable places within cities. We use sporting and entertainment venues as urban catalysts and develop the relationship between social infrastructure elements, and enhance them to add value and character to the urban realm. For the London 2012 Olympic Park our design approach was imbedded in our masterplanning, ensuring that the personal experiences of all Games time and legacy user groups were considered from their respective mode of transport to their seat within the venue. VENUES With more than a 1,000 projects completed globally, we open locations to the world – creating iconic venues that become a financial success. Our portfolio includes the design of 3 Olympic stadiums - Sydney 2000, Sochi 2014 and the London 2012 Olympic Stadium, which has already become the centre piece of the park and a catalyst for the urban regeneration of East London.

    The Olympic Park is where names will be made, records broken, new legends created: it is going to be centre stage during the summer of 2012 – and long after. The nine new world-class sporting venues (six of them permanent) will be a fantastic setting for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. After the Games, the Park will be transformed into the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park and will be the focus of the regeneration of this part of London.
