Just for Fun: The AIArchitect Olympic Poll

AIA-member architects played a big role in the success of the 2002 Olympic Games. These 11 venues actually are helping competitors be swifter, higher, stronger, and keeping spectators closer, comfier, and safer. (All architects listed, except HOK, are Salt Lake City offices.) Some are models of restoration, others are the greenest of the green, and some offer technology never before used in architecture projects.
