HOW IN LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE INFLECTION
The design of the city of Cabo Frio Cultural Center Events and Exhibitions emerges, at first
, from the interpretation of the landscape that surrounds it , in its various characteristics: the
horizon and the water mirror in Araruama Lagoon to the west ; the low buildings and the
layout of the city in the foreground and in the background , the mountains , both east .Even
within the limitations of its range, the architecture, which also includes landscape design
within the boundaries of the area for CCEE , is designed as an articulator of its surroundings.
The proposal balances the different characteristics of its context and become a
physical element of neutralization.Exiting visual axes and surrounding forces, guide the
creation of a grid, the constructed elements ensures greater permeability of flows, especially
for pedestrians , and provide a more harmonious relationship between the city and the
neighboring new set .In the vertical direction, the main program is suspended from the
ground, to preserve the connection between street and lagoon. Aims to qualify this space -
ground plan - as essentially public place like a park – implementing a choice of leisure and
entertainment for the population and tourists .A multidirectional network of paths stands out
from the ground, leading to a second level of pathways for pedestrians and cyclists - a
promenade - from which the visual relationship with the landscape is marked, free from the
interference of cars.Through a helical ramp the ground floor connects to a suspended
boardwalk called “super-lobby”. This lobby is a live and intense network of paths running
through the four halls at a mezzanine level and distributes the flow of visitors, allowing free
movement and stay up control points for access to lounges.
