[galeria-abril id="53075" type="slider" showtitle="false" data-restrict="false"] CASACOR Rio de Janeiro 2017 will be held for the first time in the city center, in the AQWA Corporate building , designed by Foster+Partners, by award-winning architect Norman Foster, and executed by Tishman Speyer. The project is the only one in Brazil designed by the firm, has LEED Gold pre-certification in sustainability and is located in the Port region, offering a unique view of Guanabara Bay, the mountains and the city. The show is not to be missed and will take place between October 24 and November 30 , with 42 environments designed by around 40 teams of architects, interior designers and landscapers. "In such a turbulent world, it is necessary to focus on what really matters to each person, letting go of excesses. What is essential to live well? It could be silence, location, time...”, highlights Patricia Quentel, managing partner of CASACOR Rio de Janeiro , who believes that Foster's building synthesizes the essential as its architecture brings simple lines, without excesses. On the ground floor is the entertainment area, which is open to the public. The areas can be visited even by those who have not purchased a ticket and include the Pool Lounge , the Grocery and Pizzeria , the Design Store , the Toy Library and the Renault Living Garage . In the lobby, visitors to the exhibition will find the Restaurant , the Wine Bar , the Café , the Bookstore and a few other shops. The event will also occupy the 21st floor with seven lofts (69 to 99 m²), four studios (51 to 62 m²), six living spaces with different concepts and a gourmet kitchen. A multimedia room and a meeting room are the spaces intended for lectures, workshops and chats. The projects will take advantage of the characteristics of the floor, which has a high ceiling, in a penthouse style. The two ends are occupied by a spa, on one side, and by a cocktail bar and an observatory, on the other. The large windows in the building's architecture make the beauty of Rio de Janeiro the centerpiece of some of the spaces. Creative solutions for optimizing small spaces are a trend, as is the integration of spaces. Exposed bricks and pipes, wood, metal and lots of concrete highlight the industrial style, which is accompanied by shades of gray and pink. In terms of furniture, pieces from the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s stand out with their rounded shapes and organic lines. WHEN? From October 24th to December 3rd. WHERE?
