diller scofidio + renfro have won a competition to design the museum of image
and sound in rio de janeiro, brazil.

the architecture of the museum is based around copacabana beach with its coastline,
wrap around building wall, its mountains and its distinctive beach promenade
designed by roberto burle marx, which consisted of a traditional portugese paving
pattern using waves of black and white stone sets.

the building is conceived as an extension of that boulevard, stretched vertically
into museum. the museum will consist of indoor and outdoor spaces branching out
into galleries and spaces for public leisure and entertainment.the vertical circulation
sequence connects the street with the building's entertainment programs from
the view into the auditorium to the elevated terrace bar and cafe, the piano bar at
the third level, the restaurant at the sixth and outdoor cinema at the roof.
