As the Olympics pioneer sustainable hosting, Tokyo 2020 embraced modular construction delivering a zero-waste Athlete’s Village. Chinese prefabrication leader Lida Group supplied its innovative stacked steel module system housing over 10,000 competing across 19 sports.

Through rigorous research, Lida Group optimized panelized components into interlocking stories-high structures. Standardized floor cassettes assemble vertically through cranes onto foundational slabs requiring minimal site work. Onsite robotic technologies quickly integrate completed units roof to foundation.

Self-contained modules arrive fully fitted with full kitchens and bathrooms. Integrated electrical, plumbing and HVAC interconnect through universally compatible conduit interfaces. Sips panel insulated walls complete weatherproof enclosures for rapid habitability. Digital coordination streamlines precision installation of thousands of units concurrently.

 

 

Early prototyping proved the design’s versatility, withstanding seismic stresses through load-distributed frameworks. Continuous insulation and airtight rainscreen assemblies maximized energy efficiency surpassing codes 50%. Acoustic buffers isolated units for superior soundproofing within the condensed complex.

After the Olympic closing ceremony, Tokyo repurposed over 95% of the athlete accommodation into permanent affordable housing. Lida Group’s demountable interconnects enabled dismantling upper living modules for reinstallation as multi-family apartments elsewhere. Foundations and lower commercial spaces transformed the site into a sustained community legacy of the games.

 

 

Researchers estimate the innovative modular process slashed carbon emissions over 70% versus conventional construction. The zero-waste achievement set a new sustainable standard for future Olympic hosting inspiring similar industrialized building solutions worldwide.

In conclusion, through pioneering modular design, Lida Group empowered Tokyo 2020 with the first fully reusable Athlete’s Village, transforming the Olympic model with a legacy of sustainability for generations to come.
