It is considered that a careful design of forms, geometry and spatial strategies, married with the appropriate materials, equipment and functional distribution, can reduce the use of resources, greenhouse gas emissions and overall environmental impact by 50% to 80%.

La reflexión sobre el rol de los acontecimientos deportivos en los procesos de transformación urbana continua en la Bienal de Arquitectura de Brasil. O Estado de Sao Paulo incluye hoy una nota en la que se plantea la relación de causalidad que se establece (o no) entre las inversiones y los eventos.
