How Autodesk’s Design & Make Platform is Shaping the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games

The Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games promise to be a groundbreaking event, not just for the athletes competing but for the technology and innovation driving the infrastructure and experience of the games. One of the key players in this revolutionary transformation is Autodesk, with its cutting-edge Design & Make Platform. Autodesk has been named the Official Design and Make Platform of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games and Team USA. Over the next four years, Autodesk’s software, used by designers, engineers, builders, and creators, will support LA28’s more than $1 billion temporary overlay and construction plan, incorporating sustainable design principles. By leveraging advanced technology, Autodesk is setting new standards in sustainability, efficiency, and creativity, thereby shaping an unforgettable experience for the LA28 Games.

  • Autodesk is playing a crucial role in LA28’s bold vision to minimize its environmental impact by focusing on a “No New Permanent Venues” plan.
  • Autodesk will assist LA28 in retrofitting 40+ venues across the Los Angeles Metro Area to support LA28’s temporary overlay and construction plan, which totals more than $1 billion.

Autodesk’s partnership with the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games marks a significant evolution in how large-scale events are designed and executed, emphasizing sustainability and innovative technology. As the official Design and Make Platform, Autodesk is set to play a pivotal role in shaping the infrastructure and logistical frameworks for the Games, which will take place in Los Angeles in 2028. This blog post explores how Autodesk’s advanced software solutions are transforming the planning and execution of the LA28 Games, ensuring a smarter, more sustainable approach.

The Vision for LA28: A Sustainable Future

The LA28 Games aim to redefine the Olympic experience by committing to a “No New Permanent Venues” policy. This ambitious plan focuses on retrofitting existing structures rather than constructing new facilities, which aligns with global sustainability goals. Autodesk’s software will be instrumental in this process, allowing for the adaptation of over 40 venues, including iconic sites like the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. This approach not only preserves historical landmarks but also minimizes the environmental impact associated with new construction.

Autodesk’s Role in Venue Design and Construction

Autodesk’s suite of tools, including Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Autodesk Construction Cloud, will be utilized extensively throughout the planning and construction phases of the LA28 Games. These tools facilitate collaboration among architects, engineers, and contractors, enabling them to work together seamlessly on complex projects.

  • BIM Technology: This technology allows teams to create detailed digital models of existing structures, simulating various retrofit scenarios. By evaluating energy and material use, designers can make informed decisions that reduce carbon emissions and enhance sustainability.
  • Construction Cloud: Autodesk’s Construction Cloud streamlines project management, ensuring that timelines are met and costs are controlled. This is crucial for the LA28 Games, where efficient logistics and rapid execution are essential to accommodate an expected 12 to 15 million ticketed fans.

Enhancing Transportation and Logistics

In addition to venue construction, Autodesk’s software will support the design of transportation elements and traffic control plans. Efficient public transportation is vital for the success of the Games, and Autodesk’s tools will help optimize the movement of spectators and participants alike. By collaborating with local transportation agencies, Autodesk aims to create a comprehensive plan that enhances accessibility and reduces congestion during the event.

Community Impact and Legacy

The partnership between Autodesk and LA28 is not just about the Games; it’s about leaving a lasting legacy for the Los Angeles community. By focusing on sustainable design and the retrofitting of existing venues, Autodesk is helping to create a model for future events that prioritizes environmental responsibility and community engagement.

Local Economic Benefits

The LA28 Games are expected to generate significant economic benefits for the local community. By utilizing existing venues and infrastructure, the Games will create jobs and stimulate local businesses without the extensive costs associated with new construction. Autodesk’s commitment to sustainability will also encourage the use of local materials and labor, further bolstering the economy.

Educational Opportunities

Furthermore, Autodesk’s involvement in the LA28 Games opens up educational opportunities for students and professionals in architecture, engineering, and construction. By showcasing innovative design practices and sustainable building techniques, Autodesk is inspiring the next generation of creators and problem solvers.

Conclusion: A New Standard for the Olympics

As the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games approach, Autodesk’s role as the official Design and Make Platform is set to revolutionize how large-scale events are planned and executed. By emphasizing sustainability, community impact, and innovative technology, Autodesk is not only shaping the future of the Games but also setting a new standard for Olympic events worldwide.

Through its advanced software solutions, Autodesk is enabling the LA28 Games to be a model of efficiency and environmental stewardship. This partnership exemplifies how technology can be harnessed to create a better world, one design at a time. As we look forward to the Games, it is clear that Autodesk’s influence will be felt long after the final medal is awarded, leaving a legacy of innovation and sustainability for future generations.
