Living under the shadow of Brazil’s
modernist growth strategies, the existing model for the city of Rio
de Janeiro is akin to the image of the impotent human
figure shackled within the iron lung:

environmental forces to restore man’s rationalized systems of order into more
complex natural systems, enters RoJo:

water, and air movment as it grows throughout the city.
They think in terms of prevention. RoJo thinks in terms of adaptation.
