Designed by Aflalo & Gasperini Arquitetos, the Trump Towers is an innovative project that will contribute to the development of the port area of Rio de Janeiro, the future home of the 2016 Olympic Games. Defined as five rather slender towers, with broad front to Francisco Bicalho Avenue, they are similar, equal in height and in geometrically tessellated form. This development is carefully arranged creating a sinuous line suggested by gardens occurring at different heights in each tower. This language gives a sense of order that connects with the landscape and stimulate diversity. More images and architects’ description after the break.

The revitalization of this region, called Porto Maravilha – created and developed by the City council of Rio de Janeiro, will occur in an area of more than five million square meters – This new region will feature new public transport system, new roadside bicycle tracks, and a complete change on the infrastructure for city dwellers. This revival, which has already been partially implemented, is receiving a financial contribution of more than R$ 10 billion (Reais).
