Today Show Olympic Pavilion
Locations Worldwide
2,800 SF
Serving as the home for the NBC Today Show‘s Olympic coverage from 2004 until 2012, this highly visible broadcasting shelter is informed by requirements for modularity and transportability inherent in a structure that will be disassembled and reassembled a number of times around the world in very different settings and environments. It was also greatly governed by the specific technologies and flexibility required within a broadcasting studio. On the other hand, its simple curvilinear form arose from the desire to create an identifiable marquee for the Today Show, which evokes the Olympic spirit and transcends a single Olympic venue Custom. Floor and walls are constructed of modular panels, with a fabric-covered, light steel frame forming the roof. Half the perimeter wall area of the shelter is open to the exterior environment through operable glass panels, which can be closed during inclement weather or non-broadcasting periods.
