Global finalist entry 2018 – Urban Circulatory System
Morro da Formiga, bordering the Tijuca Forest and Tijuca neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro demonstrates the Água Carioca system applied at scale ‘M’. The Cascata River will have the same quality upon entering as upon leaving the Favela. The river will be swimmable and usable for recreational purposes and most importantly become a shining example of how environmental pollution and river degradation in informal neighborhoods can be reversed.
Eva Pfannes is Director of Ooze Architects based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands; winner of the LafargeHolcim Awards Bronze for Latin America (2017); and was a member of the LafargeHolcim Awards jury for Europe (2020).
