The Olympic Village for the Turin 2006 Winter Olympic Games is now in the hands of Turin.
The area stretches over more than 90 thousand square metres in what is called “the most enchanting areas of the city”, alongside the historical arcades of the original structure, bound by the Monuments and Fine Arts Office. There are 52 thousand square metres of residences, 750 apartments, and 40 thousand square metres dedicated to village services.
The village has a walkway which links the area to the Lingotto centre through the Olympic Arch and reunites two parts of the city that have always been divided by a railway barrier.
A team of eleven architects designed and constructed the structure by using the most advanced eco-compatibility and eco-sustainability criteria.
Once the Games are over the village will be converted into a permanent residential complex of houses and University residences.
