Five new construction projects forming part of Rio´s port area redevelopment, all to be used for the Rio 2016 Olympics, will be the subject of an international design competition set to be promoted over the coming months. The Architecture Institute of Brazil will run the contest, which will require all designs to be ready by February 2011, following which an auction will be held to determine the developers.
The projects involve the media and judges village as well as facilities for IT and non-official media. Further details of the competition will be forwarded as they come to hand.
