A territory contested between architectural vision and geopolitical strategy.

During the 1960 Olympics, the Olympic Village became a space where athletes from all over the world lived together, a true temporary experiment in “geopolitical cohabitation”.

The focus uses archive materials, drawings and images to recount an experiment in cultural diplomacy through sport and temporary living.
