MAR

The Rio Art Museum was the talk of the town when it opened, in March 2013. Hip design firm Bernardes + Jacobsen managed to unite two unused buildings that now house a stunning art gallery and an art school. An undulating concrete canopy connects the two buildings from above, and the new rooftop has a public terrace and a bar. The MAR is part of the major urban redevelopment in the historic port area of Rio.
