The impact of the novel coronavirus has affected the world. The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will be postponed for one year and cost tens of billions of dollars in economic damage. So in this context, we designed an athlete's village to prevent the spread of the virus and to minimize the impact on the lives of athletes. The whole building is made up of fast-assembling structures. It is designed to be divided between living layers, anti-epidemic stratum, and athletic training layers to reduce crowd risk and maintain the necessary training for the athletes themselves.
