Olympic Park
The Olympiapark in Munich, Germany, is an Olympic Park which
was constructed for the 1972 Summer Olympics. Found in the
area of Munich known as the "Oberwiesenfeld" ("upper
meadow-field"), the Park continues to serve as a venue for
cultural, social, and religious events such as events of worship.
The Olympic Halls are unique for their roof construction which is
a lightweight stressed-skin structure. This curved structure bears
loads through tension only, not compression. The double
curvature in the roof design is what provides support which is
further stablized through pretensioned guy wires.
