Rio de Janeiro is a paradigm of the dialogue between city and nature. Occupying, transforming, and shaping its exuberant natural landscape into a new inhabitable geography has been a challenge for centuries. As the city expanded, tunnels were dug through granite mountains, bridges were built to connect islands to the continent, and new landfills stretched into the sea.

Shadowed by the monumental scale of its mountains, the shoreline of Rio de Janeiro has dramatically expanded its limits to accommodate the urges of a city undergoing constant growth. On its vast coast, an array of different urban conditions and timescales appear: port, airport, mountain, beach, island, favela, park, highway, canal, bridge, tunnel, etc. By developing several projects along the shoreline, the goal of the studio was to explore and redefine the urban potential of the coast and its relationship to the city.
