The architecture of the Olympics isn’t just the flashy stadiums that host the opening ceremonies. (This year, the Pyeongchang 2018 stadium will be torn down after the games.) Olympic architecture is also training facilities, offices for the International Olympic Committee, and museums across the globe. Here’s a roundup of some of the architecture designed or built to support the Olympic Games.
