Rounding up the Olympic Games 2024 in Paris, a special focus is placed on the architectural language and phenomenon that transformed the city for its Olympic and upcoming Paralympic venues. Spread across the city and surrounding areas, Paris integrated iconic landmarks and modern facilities to host a diverse selection of Olympic sports. Beyond the sports venues, the interventions also included unique visitor centers and athlete's accommodations that will serve a purpose beyond the summer's events.
While Paris embodies a range of architectural epochs, the city aimed to transform, convert, and restore heritage buildings, utilize existing stadiums and venues from past sports events and construct temporary structures. This sustainable strategy allowed for a harmonious blend of historic and modern architecture, creating a unique Olympic experience.

Paris has a rich history of hosting sports events, and the 2024 Games further highlight its commitment to showcasing the city's architectural and cultural diversity. Below is a list of the most relevant works, from restoration to repurposing, temporary installations, and new construction.
