ABSTRACT
The Olympic program must simultaneously orchestrate a diverse range of games, events, and information, and maintain an ever-growing and complex security system for its own survival. The conceptual framework of this Olympic Village project evolves from the intelligent behavioral mechanisms of the butterfly Alcon Blue, and aims to deploy its survival strategies as a way of developing both spatial control mechanisms and social networks for the Olympic Games. Alcon Blue orchestrates a tripartite network of light between predator, mate, and self using an advanced aviation mechanism. When the relative angle of its wings between the sun and the observer reaches a particular threshold, the wings appear a turquoise blue. This is due to the manifold refractions of light within the internal structure of the wing. Likewise, when the angle drops below that threshold, the butterfly disappears from the eye of the observer, flickering as it flies away.
