About

From the 5th to 21st of August 2016, Rio de Janeiro will play host to the first Olympic Games in South America. The ‘Cidade Maravilhosa’ (Marvelous City) was chosen in 2009 at the 122nd IOC congress above cities Madrid, Tokyo and Chicago. This year we will be paying special attention to the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, resulting in (among other things) the publication of this magazine. In 'The Architecture of Rio2016’ we take a look to the Games from the perspective of the designer. We explain the Rio 2016 Masterplan, give a complete overview of all the venues and pay attention to Brazilian architecture in general and local architects involved in the design and construction of the venues.
