WITHIN RIO DE JANIERO, BRAZIL, THE DUMONT AIRPORT IS SEEING A

SUDDEN INCREASE IN TRAFFIC AS IT TRIES TO

MEET THE CITY’S GROW-ING DEMAND. TODAY,

THE AIRPORT DOES NOT HAVE THE PROPER

INFRASTRUCTURE TO HANDLE SUCH A

GROWTH. THE PROJECT AIMS TO CAPTURE RIO’S

COLORFUL CULTURE WHILE PROVIDING THE

SPACE AND FUNCTIONS FOR A GROWING CITY

WHILE CREATING A POINT OF ATTRACTION ON RIO’S

FAR SIDE.
