Rio Remix: Spatial Sampling Rio has been blessed not only by its stunning topography but also by an array of architectural projects (especially during its modernist phase) and by the incredible bottom-up spatial intelligence inherent in its favelas. Unique and immensely diverse specific spatial signatures occur throughout Rio’s urban fabric, to an extent that surpasses most cities on Earth. This exciting feature of the city will fuel the synthesis, sampling, deployment and testing of pre-biased spatial strategies through the studio work, re-injecting such signatures into Avenida Brasil, and Rio will serve as the global context (the antidote against the super generic) through which new local identities will be broadcast. This new spatial mix will be cultivated from the inside and woven on the outside, extending as far as the remotest spot on Avenida Brasil. A general thrust related to boosting new forms of mobility and cultural agitation defines the baseline from which our semisystematic exchange-based studio operations will launch.
