NAMA, Revista Amazônia Moderna and UFAM hold the exhibition L'Amazonie en construction: l'architecture des fleuves volants, from July 19 to August 3 at the Maison du Brésil in Paris, in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of this iconic building designed by Le Corbusier. This is the first time that the Brazilian Amazon will be exhibited in Europe from an architectural point of view. Admission is free.
The Amazon under construction is divided into two themes: the "Fantastic Amazon" and the "Concrete Amazon", which unveil not only a vision of breathtaking landscapes and territories but also the integration between them and the realities of cities and infrastructure. The exhibition presents works recognized for their architectural quality and their possible contribution to the phenomenon of the Flying Rivers. The Flying Rivers, or "breath of the Amazon trees", emits a huge amount of water vapor into the atmosphere and carries rain clouds to regions far from the Amazon.
