Renovation of problematic Montreal Olympic Stadium roof keeps "original intention" in mind

German architecture studio GMP Architekten is leading a major renovation of Montreal's Olympic Stadium, focusing on replacing a problematic membrane roof with a new steel deck to prevent the notorious icicle hazards. This project, which began in 2018, aims to restore the stadium's functionality while respecting its original design intentions. This renovation is crucial not only for the stadium's longevity but also for ensuring it remains a viable venue for future events, highlighting the importance of adaptive reuse in preserving historical structures.
