Text in Portuguese, with parallel text in English - The title 'Metropolitano Rio: Guide for an architecture', not only claims such a condition for Rio de Janeiro, but also advocates an attitude of design that is aware of the urgent need to recognize, understand, value and produce architecture as something capable of taking advantage of this condition in order to increase its potential. This guide differs therefore from the simple collection of references considered exemplary of such a performance. Its ambition is to constitute a sort of manual to interact with the built reality in which the inhabitants of Rio are utterly inserted, enabling them to effectively design it. - CONTENTS: Metropolitan Rio: Guide for an architecture -- Conditions of the Metropolitan performance -- Lessons from the carioca collection -- Port warehouses: reloading quays -- Topo do Rio: Field-building -- Sao Beníto Monastery: built-up hill -- Marques de Sapicai Sambadrome: street stadium -- 15th of November square: foyer-Square -- Brazilian Jockey Club: City Block Bulding -- Santos Dumont Airport -- Centro Empresario Rio -- Rio Plaza Shopping -- Shopping cidade Copacabana -- Ruben Braga complex -- Candida Pareto condominium -- Lagoa Rowing Center -- Sheraton Rio Hotel -- Lower Rocinha.
