Olympic Housing for Toyko

An attempt to provide universal design is the theme of the next wave of multiple housing units. In this Tokyo proposal for the 2020 Olympic Bid a village is developed with renewed emphasis of the long term use of the facilities for the nearby university. Since the Brazil announcement that the games will be held "down under" the renewed interest in facilities for a new proposal has been revived. The dorm will have a "sustainable" (Green) approach and be with indigenous materials and methods. Costs for this Gold LEED project will be less than a traditional facility built with current methods and materials.
