RIO- Urban PlatformWith a full 360-Degree view over the city of Rio de
Janeiro as well as the Ocean, the project has the potential to not only
serve as a lighthouse structure but also to create a panoramic public
plaza for the city. The project creates a ring with different floor
heights to cater for all kind of activities. They not only happen
within the building but also outside along the facade and roof
platforms. Instead of being just a visual icon, the building acts as an
enabler of public activities.
Arriving by air, RIO welcomes with a circular LED screen net in the center of the panorama ring which also projects RIOs activities in and around it to the spectator below at the pier.
While the visitor enjoys an unobstructed 360 degree view over the city and the ocean, inside RIO
a special tribune allows an opposite view to the bungee jump window.
The level changes allow for a variety of programs and connections to
the rooftop of RIO.
