AECCafe (Arch Showcase) – “Carioca Wave in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil by Nir Sivan Architects Associates” (Sumit Singhal, July 29, 2014)
“When I got the opportunity to work in Rio de Janeiro the ‘the marvelous city’, I was thrilled, I knew that whatever I design it has to be and behave as a part of this wonderful place. I started working on the master plan in my office in Rome, but it’s when I came to Rio that the actual shape was defined. The inspiration came while seating on one of the many famous beaches with a local cold drink. I remember drawing in my sketch book simple 5, 6 lines, but they captured it all.” — architect Nir Sivan
