Summary:

"NL28 Olympic Fire offers a parade of specacular visions on how the Olympic Games can transform the Netherlands a country known for its tradition of designing its environment. These are preceded by a historical timeline which gives a vivid impression of the impact that the Games have had on previous host cities such as Montreal, Los Angeles, Sydney and Beijing. Sportspeople, designers, policymakers and politicians were asked about the possibility of hosting the Olympics in the Netherlands. The book is the result of studies on the feasibility, visualiszation and realization of the spatial program of the Olympic Games in the Netherlands in 2028, by the Academy of Architecture Rotterdam and the Beriage Institute, in collaboration with world famous Rotterdam based architectural firm MVRDV."--BOOK JACKET.
