The development of this project was appropriated and elaborated from its original schematic phase as designed by Diller, Scofidio and Renfro. The intent is to capture the energy and motion of Rio de Janeiro while bringing all social classes together in an exhibition of culture. Therefore, our personal design focus is the series of ramps and stairs that extend the Copacabana promenade and filter pedestrians into the building. By incorporating a parametrically modeled, perforated metal skin, the building serves as an observation tool of not only its interior exhibitions, but the city landscape and its people as well.
