exquisitely modern Brazilian architectural lines, in which we can recognise very original renderings of Niemeyers forms and Burle Marxs organic paths. A large tree-lined axis provides an inorganic backbone, almost like the lymphatic structure of a leaf, for the various parts of the project, which, in turn, are set out fluidly and smoothly.Oficina de Arquitetos has designed a complex project emanating a desire to create an authentic stratified and articulated functional mix of great complexity, drawing on the use of diagrams of the flows and aggregations, showing a very modern-day approach which, in some sense, is close to the very latest trends in western architecture, particularly those in northern Europe.Bearing in mind the teams greater geographical and cultural distance, Overland and partners architectural forms and idioms rely more heavily on popular trends and tendencies, mixing certain vernacular elements with features drawn from communal life. The team has shown great skill in assessing just how much importance to assign to the landscaping of the accommodation facilities and golf course, which weave together to create carefully gauged interaction between the sea and sand dunes.Part of the beach has been set aside for a golf course majestically designed by Jack Nicklaus. Another point in Overlands favour was the way the team has worked on the detailed master plan to set out exactly how these new forms of tourism and well-being referred to in the tender were to be put to use.In the end, the jury opted for this latter design, due to its ability to meet all the requirements in full, in terms of the environment, landscape, quality of life and safety, also emphasising that it would be highly advisable to draw on some of the wonderful architectural features in the other entrants projects.Ruy Ohtake Arquitetura e UrbanismoRuy Othake propone una consuetudine al trattamento del tema del paesaggio e dellarchitettura squisitamente del moderno brasiliano, dove sono leggibili, ma puntualmente reinterpretate in maniera originale, forme di Niemeyer e tracciati organici di Burle Marx.Un grande asse viario alberato innerva in maniera organica, quasi come la struttura linfatica di una foglia le parti dellintervento, a loro volta disposte secondo orientamenti fluidi e armonici.Ruy Othake has handled the issue of the landscape and architecture along exquisitely modern Brazilian architectural lines, in which we can recognise very original renderings of Niemeyers forms and Burle Marxs organic paths.A large tree-lined axis provides an inorganic backbone, almost like the lymphatic structure of a leaf, for the various parts of the project, which, in turn, are set out fluidly and smoothly.Team Leader:Ruy Ohtake Arquitetura e UrbanismoAssistants:Marcia Umeoka, Carla Stella BisquoloCollaborators:Michail Lieders, Carlos Roberto de AzevedoDrawings:Carolina Scalabrin, Decio Pereira, Rene Misumi, Viviani Pedroni, Giseli Marquezin, Rafael Forshaid, Adriano Batista dos SantosImages:Rafael Otsuka, Leonardo GomesIllustrations:Vallandro KeatingLandscaping:Burle Marx & Cia Ltda.:Haruyoshi Ono (Principal); Collaborators: Isabela de Carvalho Ono, Gustavo Leivas da Costa Araujo, Julio de Carvalho Ono, Priscilla Alves Peixoto; Vegetation Specialist: Maria de Fatima AgraGolf:Luiz Pereira Barretto Arquitetura e Construcao: Luiz Pereira Barretto (Principal); Collaborators: Cezar Bavaresco, Maristela Kunh Structure: Cesar Pereira LopesStructure on Dunes:Dacio CarvalhoInfrastructures:MHA EngenhariaFoundations: Portella AlarconFlooring on Dunes:ABCP Associazione Brasiliana de Cimento
