The fish workshop

Two days workshop with about 200 children. Great fun and lots of work! We were commissioned by the municipality of Nova Iguaçu, a large town located on the periphery of Rio, to take part on an urban renovation project for a pedestrian tunnel under the main train line in the city centre. We have created a big aquarium, where each fish has the name of the child who painted it. The project was awarded by the Institute of Brazilians Architects/RJ in 2007.
