The Olympic Village also know as East Village in Stratford, London. It is a place where all the athletes stay during the games and is going to be used as residential apartments. The project was kicked off in the early stages of 2008; however was slowed down by the economical crisis. The accommodation provided housing for 24,000 athletes and teams and low prise private apartments. There were many architects involved in the project such as Allford Hall Monaghan Morris, CF Møller, Denton Corker Marshall, dRMM, DSDHA, Glenn Howells Architects, Ian Simpson Architects, Lifschutz Davidson Sandilands, Make, Niall McLaughlin Architects, Panter Hudspith Architects, Patel Taylor and Piercy Conner. The East Village will be converted into 2,818 apartments, with 1,379 taken on by Triathlon Homes as affordable housing. The rest will be sold to developers for private resale. However, the estimate of the rebuilding and redevelopement will take more or less 3 years.
