Rei Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I found, by accident, some stuff about the unmistakable Milano2000 bid.. remember? The one which at that time didn't reached the Application procedure for abandon. It's a promo brochure published in November 1991 with few renders and a general presentation which has been send me by a milanese.. I know it's not much but I think that someone would be interested in taking a look at it though. Click on to enlarge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfm Jeremie Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 There was no such thing as "Application phase" back in the early 90s: any city wanting to apply for the Games could become a candidate city. Actually, Milano withdrew in early 93, shortly after submitting its official bid books. We might scan it and add it to the Bid Library at some point.

baron-pierreIV Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Click on to enlarge. San Francisco has a few of those Milano street cars -- as part of SF's historic street/cable car fleet. They are in very good condition but VERY uncomfortable, as much as the city's cable cars.

Rei Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Yes, I know. Once I got into one of those with the creaking floor and wood seats. Nice but really uncomfortable. @cfm jeremie, you were saying you have the bid book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thatsnotmypuppy Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Its a huge bid book set - and its all writing except the venue part with the drawings. No pictures sadly. Its a well put together bid plan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted February 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Is there any chance you could post it the bidlibrary later? I would really appreciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfm Jeremie Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 Is there any chance you could post it the bidlibrary later? I would really appreciate it. I intend to eventually. But the whole process is time consuming and there is a lot we intend to put on the Library. Milano bid book also includes some huge blue prints (I would say A1 or A0 format) that seem impossible to print. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 I'm in no hurry so I can wait, thanks. Anyway, if the blueprints are too big to scan/print you can take a photo of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 some other stuff found.. Project for a new indoor complex in the San Siro area dated 1992 by Studio Franzosi (with the collaboration of Oscar Niemeyer). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4gamesandcounting Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Great aquatics centre pictures! What was the athletics plan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted August 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Great aquatics centre pictures!What was the athletics plan? The aquatic center looks like a huge concert stage in a very Milanese feel. As for the athletics plan, there should have been an olympic stadium but unfortunately there's nothing of visual about it on the web. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4gamesandcounting Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 So the San Siro was just planned for football presumabley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rei Posted August 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 I guess so. Afterall San Siro is just football (or at very very most rugby). Any other reinterpretation would sound blasphem. They should build a new stadium with track and everything.. beside, they planned one just for the 2016 pre-application and there are rumors about a new stadium in view of the 2015expo.

Rei Posted January 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 ^^ ops, sorry.. forgot the references. The two raw drawings posted above (by Malara Associati studio) refers to the plans for the Olympic village&stadium which, from what I understood, should have made part of the original bid book sent to Ioc. I know, quality is really bad but these are the only pics I found so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
