The Maré-City International Ideas Competition, promoted by the International Union of Architects (UIA) as part of the UIA2020RIO activities, offers architecture students from around the world the opportunity to develop projects related to the congress theme "All worlds. One world. Architecture 21."
The competition aims to propose thought-provoking urban projects and architectural interventions that seek to integrate the Maré favela into the city. The intervention area is located between a major, busy expressway (Avenida Brasil) and a cluster of favelas (Complexo da Maré). Currently, this territory is occupied by warehouses and industrial buildings, most of which are abandoned or disused.
