Zaha Hadid's first Brazilian building scrapped after long delays


MARCH 07, 2018


India Block | 12 October 2018


Zaha Hadid's design for a skeletal building overlooking Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro has been shelved, according to local reports.


Casa Atlântica, an 11-storey apartment building with a facade reminiscent of a sea creature's spiny vertebrae, would have been the first building in Brazil from the late Pritzker Prize-winning architect.


But delays from the city hall to grant licenses for the project have caused it to stall, reported local paper O Globo.


Brazilian entrepreneur Omar Peres commissioned Zaha Hadid Architects to design the building in 2013, reportedly giving her free rein over the design. It was originally due to finish in time for the Rio 2016 Olympics.


Construction was delayed for years, but had been scheduled to finally start this year. However, the investment group has now dropped out and the land is being put up for auction.


The curving, organic lines of the Casa Atlântica facade would have been a classic Hadid design. Originally planned as a luxury hotel, before being switched to a 30-unit residential tower, the tower was designed to fit in the context of Brazil's modernist architecture.


Set on the Avenida Atlântica, it would have harmonised with the wave-patterned pavement that runs for two and a half miles along the beachfront road, designed by world-renowned Brazilian landscape artist Roberto Burle Marx.


Patrick Schumacher, who was also credited for the building's design, took over as director of Zaha Hadid Architects when its founder passed away unexpectedly in 2016.


The practice now has no other current projects planned in South America. But further north, it is working on plans for Mexico City's tallest residential tower.


Rare photos emerged earlier this year of the only private residential project designed by the late Iraqi-British architect ever completed, in a forest near Moscow, as well as shots of the apartment Hadid designed for herself in Miami Beach.

Mostrar resposta e comentário

Gabarito

Errado

Comentário do professor

A alternativa é correta porque o texto afirma explicitamente que a fachada foi pensada para se integrar ao entorno: situada na Avenida Atlântica, a edificação "would have harmonised with the wave-patterned pavement".


As linhas curvas e orgânicas da Casa Atlântica remetem visualmente ao padrão ondulado da calçada de Copacabana, projetada por Roberto Burle Marx, criando continuidade rítmica entre obra e paisagem urbana.


Em termos arquitetônicos, "harmonizar" aqui significa diálogo formal e integração estética: a fachada não só contrasta, mas complementa o elemento público da orla, respeitando o contexto modernista da região.


Portanto, a alternativa resume corretamente a informação do texto sobre a intenção de ajuste visual entre a fachada e as ondas da calçada.
