Integral Role of BIM in the Paris Olympics 2024
The implementation of BIM technology in the Paris 2024 Olympic Games has become an influential example of managing complex large scale projects with efficiency and accuracy.
- Austin-San Marcos, TX (1888PressRelease) October 04, 2024 - Paris, one of the cities of France that entails exquisite architectural monuments that goes back to the 18th and 19th centuries. The intricate work of art in the city of lights brings a rich culture, diversity of excellence, and fine architectural language. Coming to the 21st century, the AEC sector around the globe has seen a leap of advancement in terms of working approach, technology, and proficiency in construction projects. The worldwide famous sports event, the Paris Olympics 2024 Games, has leveraged the power of cutting-edge technology to create a unique Olympic experience for the athletes and 15M visitors. As the news went viral, the success of the Paris 2024 Games received lots of love, achieving the target of sustainable and low carbon emission venues while maintaining the legacy.
The hero of the Olympic 2024 Games was the efficient use of BIM (building information modeling) that enabled organizers to refurbish the existing venues with sustainable, energy-efficient, and carbon-conscious infrastructure while repurposing the venues for future events. With the power of BIM modeling services, Paris took an opportunity to utilize the existing structure to create sustainable strategies and ensure the reuse of the venues for future sports and cultural events.
Additionally, for water polo, swimming, and diving events in the Olympics, Paris created a new structure called Aquatic Center using BIM services to ensure low carbon emitting infra using bio-based materials. Moreover, the successful integration of BIM technology in Paris Olympic venues resulted in the lowest carbon emission as compared to other host cities. Following are the key venues where building information modeling played a critical role.
- Olympic village
- Plaza de La Concordia (Urban Sports Pavilion)
- State de France
- Aquatic Center
BIM was also leveraged to recreate the urban landscape of Paris’s iconic site—the Eiffel Tower, which had been redesigned to rebalance the use of public space in favor of pedestrians and optimize traffic flows. Using scan-to-BIM technology, developers and architects reimagined the iconic Iron Lady of Paris for better urban park and landscape development.
