Architecture CodeX #56 Montreal Olympic Stadium by Roger Taillibert

THE THRILL OF VICTORY AND THE AGONY OF DEFEAT: Architecture CodeX looks at the iconic symbol of Montreal and the difficulties getting it construction and operating it since. Was it worth it?

Finally an architectural icon from my home city. The Montreal Olympic Stadium is a very unique piece of sport architecture. Its inclined tower is the tallest of its category since 1987 with a whopping inclination of 45°. The velodrome constructed at the base of the tower becomes now a natural science museum (Biodôme).

​@@architecturecodex9818 I have already seen this episode before. For me, the Habitat 67, the Montreal Olympic Stadium and the Biosphere are my top 3 architectural choice from Montreal. They are both very unique and experimental. They all represent a specific architectural masterpiece by a specific architect with no imitator anywhere else in the world. I wish that one day you can also cover the Biosphere. It was the USA pavilion built for Expo 67 and designed by Buckminster Fuller. It is a massive geodesic dome structure that serves the imagination of the space race. A sort of imaginary human colony on the moon.

Fascinating take on stadia. Regarding the National Pastime-Baseball is like church; many attend, few understand. Go G-Men. Go!
