National Olympic Committee House

The four storeys of the National Olympic Committee House in Tbilisi, Georgia are innervated by a twisting maple-veneered staircase.  The work, by Architects of Invention, is a physical representation of the dynamic nature of sports.  Visitors first encounter the simple white desk bisected by a bold canyon-like fissure, then turn to ascend the staircase – like the open path to Mount Olympus, inferring that striving never ends and that there is no limit to human achievement.

The National Olympic Committee House was built in the 19^th century, and renovated in the 1960’s, but then remained untouched until this year.
