Sochi 2014 – Olympic Winter in a summer resort area at the Black Sea. For a successful event in this huge dimension, many local and small interventions, next to large projects are necessary, to assure claims of function as well as long-term development perspectives. This applies to the urban context of the city Sochi itself but also to the natural region of Krasnaya Polyana.

Aim of the international workshop 2010 in Villach, Carinthia, is to develop public space design for public viewing areas in Sochi. This should contain flexible design and function of these public places, as the communication point for both locals and Olympic tourists during the games and after.
