IOC/IAKS Award: Project of the month 08/2008
Turin (I) - Oval Lingotto
IOC/IAKS Award Gold
IOC/IAKS Award Gold
The Oval Lingotto in Turin was built to house the speed skating championships for the Winter Olympic Games in 2006. This elegant solution over a very large volume was combined with a well-designed structure and an architecturally exciting exterior. The post-olympic use was always part of the design studies from the very start.Today the building permits a wide range of uses and activities. This sports building is an excellent example of how to realize an excellent olympic and paralympic speed skating hall and this prompted the jury to vote for an IOC/IAKS Gold Medal. The project was also awarded an IPC/IAKS Distinction for the high quality of accessibility for people with disabilities.
