Competition sponsored by the Rio de Janeiro City Hall for the development of a Media Centre for the 2016 Olympic Games in two sites separated by a huge canal in the downtown area.
The proposal was to connect the sites with a building-bridge, housing commercial areas on a pedestrian street covered.
The project was based on Rio de Janeiro’s topography.
The parking lots, rather than being excavated or elevated as basements, were like small hills covered with vegetation, and also an extension of the surrounding streets.
