Hosting the Olympics Games is expensive and challenging, especially when it comes to stadiums and infrastructure. Until recently, host cities did not have access to the sort of technology that can enable organizers to build and plan stadiums with costs, sustainability, and legacy in mind. But with the 2024 Paris Olympics, that is no longer the case.
In this article, Marc Nezet, Chief Strategy Officer & Chief Division Officer of the Operate & Manage Division of the Nemetschek Group, discusses how technologies like BIM, AI, and digital twins, that are reshaping the construction industry, can be used to develop Olympic stadiums more efficiently, cost-effectively, and sustainably, enable sporting events to be carbon-positive, both now as well as for their legacy use in the future.
