Swarming Futures

25 Jun-11 Aug 2010

Overview

The Embassy of Brazil proudly presents 'Swarming Futures'. Part of the ‘International Showcase’ of the ‘London Festival of Architecture’, the exhibition explores the festival’s Welcoming City theme through the way innovation in design can be generated by large patchworks of inclusive collaboration and creative exchange. Recently appointed hosts of large international events, most notably the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games, Brazilian cities have become a ground for speculation and intense scrutiny. Designers, politicians, communities, businesses, participants and visitors are all agents and stakeholders in a massive swarm of interests and possibilities that will ultimately shape the cities and lives in Brazil’s near future.
