Autodesk has been appointed as the Official Design and Make Platform for the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games, marking a significant step forward in sustainable event design. Of particular interest to those in the civil engineering, surveying, and construction industries is LA28’s commitment to a “no-new-permanent-build” strategy. Rather than constructing new venues, the focus will be on retrofitting over 40 existing venues and creating temporary infrastructure across the Los Angeles area. This approach not only reduces carbon emissions but also demonstrates the power of adaptive reuse in large-scale projects.

Autodesk’s software, including Building Information Modelling (BIM) tools, will play a crucial role in this initiative by enabling more efficient design processes, reducing costs, and supporting sustainable outcomes. The collaboration aims to set a new standard for how major events can be planned and executed with minimal environmental impact, offering valuable insights for professionals in our industry.
