Unidos da Tijuca Sao Cristovao, Rio de Janeiro The elevated highway next to the harbor has completely disconnected the city from the waterfront. Although the elevated viaduct is scheduled to be torn down, no real connection has been planned by city officials. By placing a samba school over this point I wish to not only provide a direct connection but also to engage with our understanding of preservation. The project preserves a section of the elevated highway to provide a path with existing infrastructure and attach the existing warehouses in the harbor.
