By selecting materials ready for reintroduction into projects, construction sites, or directly into homes, workplaces, and beyond, RUÍNA seeks to encourage circular production chains, helping to reduce the volume of demolition waste while providing quality materials with minimal environmental impact. We seek partnerships with initiatives involved in the disposal, dismantling, or demolition of spaces, as well as with producers who have surplus materials without a designated use.
Every city requires collective action to be reinvented and adapted to the demands of the 21st century, especially in a post-pandemic world. This is the central argument of the book Reinvenção da Cidade - Interação, Equidade, Planeta (Reinventing the City - Interaction, Equity, Planet) by architect and urban planner Sérgio Magalhães. The work addresses key challenges facing Brazilian urban spaces in the pursuit of cities that are less predatory and unequal, and more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable. Throughout the text, the author sheds light on the case of Rio de Janeiro as an iconic metropolitan city that concentrates the attributes, contrasts, shortcomings, and potential that shape the national identity. The book will be launched on Friday, March 18, at 7:00 PM, at the Livraria da Travessa in Shopping Leblon.
