developed alongside gallagher associates, DS+R’s design for the 60,000 square foot united states olympic museum displays a dynamic and fluid form, with elevated pathways connecting the overall scheme. meanwhile, outdoor green areas offer panoramic views of mountainous landscape throughout the year. internally, the exhibit will include interactive areas, a theater as well as an array of spaces devoted to embody the spirit of the olympic and paralympic games.
