SUMMARY:AA Rio de Janeiro Infrastructure Padrão FIFA
DESCRIPTION:Rio de Janeiro – Infrastructure Padrao FIFA (FIFA Standa
 rds)\nCentro Carioca de Design/Studio X – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, So

 Association Visiting School Rio de Janeiro will collaborate with the C
 entro Carioca de Design  with the support of Columbia University Stu

 rrounding World Cup Stadiums. Nation-wide, there has been significant 
 investment to build and renovate stadiums for the 2014 World Cup in or

 ). At the same time, there has been a large public demand for equal in
 vestment into transport systems, public space, and public programs suc

 and around the World Cup structures, proposing new public programs and
  standards for their legacy.  Students can choose to focus directly o
 n the Maracanã stadium in Rio de Janeiro, the venue for the Final mat
 ch of the World Cup. The intense ten-day workshop will employ computat
 ional design and digital fabrication to introduce a design methodology
  that creatively automates and promotes transformation, mutation and c
 omplexity for these infrastructure interventions.\nProminent Features
