Our objective is to investigate new possibilities for the urban infrastructure surrounding World Cup 6WDGLXPV��1DWLRQ�ZLGH�� WKHUH� KDV� EHHQ� VLJQL¿FDQW�investment to build and renovate stadiums for the 2014 World Cup in order to meet the required standard FIFA regulations (‘Padrão FIFA’). At the same time, there has been a large public demand for equal investment into transport systems, public space, and public programs such as hospitals and schools. The Visiting School will tap into the momentum of this movement, and promote a series of interventions within and around the World Cup structures, proposing new public programs and standards for their legacy. Students can choose to focus directly on the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the venue for the Final match of the World Cup. The intense ten-day workshop will employ computational design and digital fabrication to introduce a design methodology that creatively automates and promotes transformation, mutation and complexity for these infrastructure interventions.

RIO: SOCIO POLITIC

MARACANACONTEXT

A source of national pride, Maracanã

stadium stirs strong emotion amongst

Rio’s population. Considered to be the most

famous Football Stadium of the world, the

slogan, “O Maraca é nosso!” – or “Maraca

(local nickname for the stadium ) is ours” -,

was the anthem for Rio’s demonstrations

from 2013 until now. Against privatization,

people claimed the stadium as a public

good: “The privatization is an insult to

our national heritage. Maracanã belongs

to Brazil”.

A state-of-the-art stadium is promised

but it has its controversies. Romario, ex-

football player, that today is a politician,

GHFODUHG� WKDW� WKH� FKDQJH� ZLOO� GLV¿JXUH�historical ground: “Brazil has lost the

World Cup outside the pitch”.

There is a problem with transparency.

The population wants explanations for

everything that concerns Maracanã’s

³UHWUR¿WWLQJ´�

Another problem is a rigid new set of regulations for spectators: As per the document below from the Director of Football Operations:7KH�HQWUDQFH�DQG� LQVWDOODWLRQ�RI�EDQQHUV�DQG�RU� ODUJH�ÀDJV� LV� LQGH¿-nitely prohibited on the upper and intermediate rings of the stadium. This measure, for amongst other reasons, is to avoid blocking visibility and to eventually allow for the installation of advertising panels.

The presidente of the Maracanã Consortium S. A., João Borba, stated in July 2013:“We have to work with the football clubs to bring about this change of habits: like giant banners, bamboo masts, shirtless fans, watching the JDPHV�VWDQGLQJ�XS«,�ZDV�ODVW�ZHHNHQG�DW�WKH�:LPEOHGRQ�¿QDOV��DQG�on the invitation it was written that a certain type of clothing was ‘not recommended’. When an English person reads ‘not recommended’, he understand that he should not use that type of clothing.

“People from all of different social classes converge at the biggest sports’ stadium in the world”

THE QUESTION OF LEGACY

Inspired by public demands and the World Cup Villages proposed by Sergio C. Trindade, we have directed the projects to accommodate multiple, long-term, everyday programs for a larger sector of society. By integrating education institutes, traditional culture, and local communities from maracanã’s surroundings, we question what games we challenge ourselves to play, what we want to be champions of.

Students and parents protested at Thursday’s meeting, with comments of disbelief made on the microphone: “The World Cup will be here for a month and you’re going to demolish a school?”. The Julio Delamare Aquatic Center and Celso de Barros Athletics Stadium used by schools and the surrounding communities are also slated for demolition.

ANALYSIS: FRIEDENREICH HIGH

SCHOOL

One of the main concerns regarding the city’s project for Maracanã stadium is the plan to demolish and

relocate the 48-year-old Public Junior High School Friendenreich. The school would lose its identity and

this would be a great loss to the city.

DIAGNOSISFRIENDERICH HIGH SCHOOL

01 Considered a “model” school.

02 It is the 4th best public junior-high school in the city. It is the10th among public Junior high schools in Brasil.

03 There is a strong bond between school employees, students and parents.

04 There is high quality infrastructure.

05 The school is a reference for accessibility.

06 The demolition is planned for 2014, to allow for the construction of warm-up facilities for athletes.

PROPOSALSFRIENDERICH HIGH SCHOOL

01 Non-removal of the school

02 Renovation according to the school’s community demands

03 Integration with the sports and cultural building on Maracanã Complex

04 Public School Frienderich to be considered as city heritage landmark status.

PROJECT

The proposal’s main challenge was to accommodate the public demands of WZR�FRPSOHWHO\�GLHUHQW�VFHQDULRV��PHJD�events days, when big empty open spaces are needed to manage the extremely high ÀRZ�RI�SHRSOH��DQG�RQ�D�GD\�WR�GD\�EDVLV��ZKHQ�D�YDULHW\�RI�XVHV�VKRXOG�EH�RHUHG�WR�attract other type of users, and to connect Maracanã Stadium’s landscape area to adjacent buildings – such as UERJ (State University of Rio de Janeiro), Indigenous Museum (Aldeia Maracanã), Public Junior High School Friendereich, Metro Station and Favela da Mangueira.

DELAMINATING FLOWSMulti-functional delaminating flows which organize clusters of social, cultural and educational programs to accommodate the indigenous people’s demands, such as the realization of social movements and the dissemination of their culture in order to integrate indigenous community in the society and to revive the memory of the area.This space can also be used for educational purposes to support the University of Maracanã’s – Aldeia Maracanã project that will be developed in the former Indigenous Museum’s building.

GROUNDFORMATIONS

A network of ground formations of variable socialization was designed. The preliminary hypothesis was that the rapid expansion of information technologies and greater efficiency in transportation networks has diluted the distinction between working, living and leisure affecting the way we design and experience boundaries in architecture. Given the coexistence between the sports events and the nested civic programs, a strategy of buildings without walls was developed for keeping enclosure at a minimum and capitalizing on exterior occupancy. The purpose was to design a set of programmatic elements for sitting, teaching, performing and gradually merging them with more neutrally programmed grounds that are optimized for flows. Through a series of digital design workshops, we developed new boundaries and thresholds through surface studies involving folding, pinching, splitting, stepping, terracing, blending, and bending. The focus of our experimentation was on how landform is derived: from pedestrian flows, the organization of perception and socialization. Through our design, we challenged notions of established hierarchy (the stadium as monument and the ground platform), ownership and defined new instances of civic appropriation.

The intervention also supports ephemeral street market, the “ambulantes”, which make their lives selling on streets. This informal market will take over the area with itinerant modules moved by cycling, that which vendor will personalize, with a “jeitinho brasileiro”.

LEVELBRIDGE

Due to the politics of the favela inhabitants’ exclusion and the prohibition of non-paying people to the stadium’s surrounding public landscape, the bridge – that nowadays connects UERJ, Maracanã and Metro Station - was redesigned to include Favela da Mangueira to the site creating both physical and social connections.Physically, an expansion for the bridge was proposed to connect the Metro Station and the favela. The new

bridge should also have social activities – such as free health support, informal markets, an open library, HWF��±�ORFDWHG�RQ�WZR�GLHUHQW�OHYHOV�LQ�RUGHU�WR�KDYH�activities occurring every day, including mega events. The idea is to have these activities happening on the metro access level on a regular basis – because of the VPDOO�ÀRZ�RI�XVHUV�WKH\�JHQHUDWH�±�DQG�RQ�WKH�VHFRQG�level on event days so the everyday activities will not be an obstacle for the large amount of people accessing Maracanã’s Stadium.

CANOPY &URBAN GROUND DEVELOPMENT

The canopy was designed to be adaptable to different uses and activities around Maracanã Stadium, from sports events to the proposed everyday public activities, offering much needed shaded space on the expansive site. The structural anchoring strategy emerges from characteristics of the site to support vaulting minimal surface configurations made up of smaller components.

When finished, we questioned the feasabili-ty of the design, taking in consideration the amouth of material, tools and time on our hands. We decided to design another ver-sion, maintaining the same creative process but trying to suceed where we had previ-ously failed.

to minimize the amout of material used but to maximize the amout of interactions between the modules we designed two modules and mirrored them, so we had four modules which we could produce using only two pairs of guides

We began the design process by creating two different modules of seating spaces, for one person and two people. We then modified the geometry to make it more ergonomic and and increase the the possiblities of interactions between the geometries.

Above, the main geometry that we decided upon.

After that we begane curving the form in order to mazimize the quantity and versatility of the form

And to make the volume more interesting but keeping in mind our production constraints we designed a bottom for the piece.

Spaces were created in the unused parts of the seat where we will add greenery.

BenchUsing our intial designs and studies on urban planning and transformtions we began working on the design of a bench that could be built on real size. Due to the very limeted amount of ma-terial that we had available (a single block of 3m x 1m x 0.5m of foam) we tried do develop a design which would leave the mini-mum amount of waste as possible. The best tools we had available the project were a “hot wire cutter” and guide lines which we would design digitaly and use a 3 axis CNC router to produce in real size.

To accommodate this respon¬siveness, the design was developed using parametric associative modeling – as Rhinoceros and Grasshopper - and digital fabrication using the CNC, Laser Cutters and 3D Printer.

Are directors of SUBdV (www.SUBdV.com), using a mixture of high and low design technologies to generate socially and environmentally responsive geometries for architecture and urban design projects. They were AA Diploma Unit 2 Masters from 2005 to 2010 and taught at the Pratt Institute and Columbia University in New York, from where they both also received Master’s degrees. They have published, exhibited and lectured about their work worldwide, including the Beijing Biennale, the Rotterdam Biennale, the Athens Synthasoris Exhibition, the London Festival of Architecture, and the Festival of Electronic Language (FILE) in São Paulo. The work of AA Diploma Unit 2 has been featured in AD, ArchiCree, and the AA Agendas 7 Articulated Grounds: Mediating Environment and Culture publication. They are also currently coordinating the AA Brazil Visiting Schools and are working on architecture projects for various grassroots micro-agencies, ranging from self-organized favela residents’ associations, to carnival samba schools in Rio de Janeiro, to a former boxer champion’s informal sports academy under the viaducts in São Paulo. These projects are realised through a negotiation between formal and informal entities, as well as between public and private agencies, to produce socially empowering interventions, combining computation and digital fabrication with local techniques, materials and economies.
