Contrary to what one might think, it was not a competition to see who could erect a building with the greatest speed and solidity. It turns out that the promoter of the modern Olympic Games, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, was not only a fan of classical culture, but also an enthusiast of the arts. And he decided that along with the sporting events, there had to be an artistic competition during the Olympic Games. And since the 1912 edition in Stockholm, Sweden, five categories were presented in competition: painting, sculpture, literature, music and, of course, architecture.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7903492b txt-description elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7903492b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The artistic competition required that the artistic works had to have some link between sport and art. In the case of architecture, built works or project designs could be submitted. For that first edition in Stockholm, the winner of the gold medal in architecture was a couple of Swiss architects, Eug\u00e8ne-Edouard Monod and Alphonse Laverri\u00e9re, for their project for the creation of a modern stadium.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b51fabd txt-description elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b51fabd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the 1920 and 1924 Games, the category was declared deserted. But for Amsterdam 1928, the winner was a local architect: Jan Wils. And he received the gold medal precisely for the stadium in which the competitions of those games were held.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ef6d806 txt-description elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ef6d806\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last games in which the art competition was held was in the 1948 edition in London. The Austrian architect Adolf Hoch won for the Kobenzl ski complex. After those games it was no longer held. Part of the reason had to do with the enormous number of professional architects who sent proposals to the competition, and this went against the idea of amateurism that the games exalted.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5f6b246 txt-description elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5f6b246\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Pennsylvania Products we have a specialized product for construction projects that would have competed in the Olympics.
