건축으로 통합된 자연은 인간과 인간을 소통시키는 매개공간으로, 때로는 드라마틱한 공간감을 선사하는 디자인 요소로 작용한다. 리오데자네이루에서 14킬로미터 떨어진 신도시, 2개의 고속도로와 접하는 대지에 위치한 아트센터는 도시의 관문으로 도시를 상징하는 아이콘으로, 지역문화를 통합하는 컬쳐앵커 플레이스를 지향한다. 특히 주변 자연환경 -산과 바다 사이에 위치한- 을 투영한 건축공간은 다양한 문화활동을 수렴하는 멀티컬쳐 스페이스로 확장된다. 콘서트룸, 오페라, 챔버뮤직, 대중음악 공연장, 댄스 스튜디오, 리허설룸, 전시공간, 레스토랑, 미디어 도서관.
지면으로 10미터 높이에 위치한 광활한 테라스 그리고 대형 곡선 콘크리트 파사드가 레이어드된 건축외형은 이러한 공간을 연속, 확장시키며 지역문화를 대표하는 아트센터로 자리매김 시킨다.

The Cidade das Artes is situated between sea and mountain, in the center
of fourteen kilometers of plain which saw recently developing the new
major district of Rio de Janeiro: Barra da Tijuca. The landscape is
monotonous, deprived of strong urban marks and public spaces. The site
is structured by two highways that cross the district. In the centre of
this cross, designed by Lucio Costa, the Cidade das Artes will be in the
very heart of the new city.

The building is a little city contained in one big structure raised and
established on a vast terrace ten meters above ground, from which one
will see the mountain and the sea, floating upon, a public park, a
tropical and aquatic garden, draw by Fernando Chacel.
This terrace is the public space; it is the gathering place that
gives access to all facilities. There, Cidade das Artes will gather a
large variety of places: a concert room, worldwide unique, because
convertible in room of opera and in theatre, a room of chamber music and
popular music, movie theatres, dance studios, numerous rehearsal rooms,
exhibition spaces, restaurants, a media library.
The Cidade das Artes is seen as a large house, a great veranda above the city, homage to an archetype of Brazilian architecture.
Between the two horizontal plates of the roof and the terrace are set
the large curved concrete walls that contain the halls in an interplay
of volumes and voids. The project is a public symbol, a new landmark in
the greater Rio area, an urban signal, floating on the plain with a
large visibility.
The architecture echoes the beautiful curves of the Siera Atlantica
Mountains and the line of the sea.The place will become, for the
travellers of the train which will arrive on Ayrton Senna Avenue,
the front door in Barra da Tijuca.
