Concentrating event venues in areas that would take advantage of the city’s unique character and icons, the master planning also focused on stimulating development for the Anacostia waterfront.
Gensler prepared diagrams for the sports venues’ complex logistics and helped identify locations for the International Broadcast Center-Main Press Center and the Olympic Village.
