Announcing the winning “Rio Olympic Sustainability Fanbox” pavilion ideas!

By Justine Testado|

Monday, Oct 24, 2016

In light of the 2016 Rio Olympic Games this past August, designers around the world were invited to partake in archasm's Rio Olympics: Sustainability Fanbox competition. The ideas competition sought clever concepts for a sustainably designed “fanbox” pavilion on the infamous Copacabana Beach where Olympic Game fans can gather and socialize. 

The competition was deemed a success, with 173 registrations from around the globe and a delightful mix of design concepts. Today, archasm announced the three prize winners in addition to a jury selection of honorable mentions and a Top 25 list.

Check out the prize-winning proposals below along with jury comments.

1ST PLACE: Gerônimo Dornelles (Brazil)

1ST PLACE: Gerônimo Dornelles (Brazil)

Jury comments:

“The project stands out mainly by the interpretation of the theme, and the clarity and dexterity to present its proposal Take advantage of local characteristics and brings agile solutions in a sustainable way. An ephemeral solution that explores the theme of sustainability from the point of view of a natural and local material resources. It reaches a level of sensitivity as the interpretation of the proposal that stands out from the rest.” — Arthur Casas 

“This is so clean and neat that fits perfectly in Copacabana lifestyle and modernist landscape. So much so, it wouldn´t even need to be temporary. It could just stay anywhere.” — Flavia Quintanilha

“This is an elegant solution, combining landscape and architecture in a clever way. There is a delicious contrast between the organic sandy mounds and the regular floating plane. The simple planes and columns complete the architectural ensemble. The presentation is excellent.” — Adrian Welch

2ND PLACE:  Wong Ka Lok (Hong Kong)

2ND PLACE: Wong Ka Lok (Hong Kong)

Jury comments:

“A good interpretation of the theme with a audacious solution structure, a good presentation and exposition of the proposal, but I felt a little lack of innovation and harmony with the surrounding architecture, but nothing that decrease the quality of the work presented.”  — Arthur Casas 

“What a wonderful Mar Largo 3d reinterpretation! Also, very precise in all the uses and spaces.” — Flavia Quintanilha 

“The curvaceous building rises up from the beach like a Oscar Niemeyer or Frei Otto building. The design feels at one with the sandy landscape, echoing dunes and waves. It doesn’t impose a foreign solution on the waterfront.” — Adrian Welch

3RD PLACE: Adam Fernandez, Lizhen Xu (France)

3RD PLACE: Adam Fernandez, Lizhen Xu (France)

Jury comments:

“Like the other works presented, the cloudy dune stands out for its understanding and interpretation of the theme aligned with an impeccable presentation. I felt a certain distance in the relation between the local culture and the environment, but the propose is very exciting and inventive.” — Arthur Casas 

“This feels like Burning Man has come to Rio! An elegant structure inviting people to relax and have fun.” — Flavia Quintanilha 

“An organic enclosure, possibly too ephemeral to form sufficient enclosure – the dynamic design seems more about creating focus than protection from the elements. The light touch suggests the beach could quickly return to normal after the event.” — Adrian Welch
