BCMF arquitetos plans national shooting center for rio 2016 olympics

BCMF arquitetos were charged with overseeing the design of many venues for 2016 rio olympics; one of them being the national shooting center in rio de janeiro. part of the larger deodoro cluster masterplan which has undergone adjustments and upgrades to facilitate the international games, the deodoro region has the highest demographic of youth within the greater metropolitan region, and it is one of the poorest zones of the city.

the cluster is already an important legacy, which has successfully triggered the renewal and further development of this important vector of the city. the project deals with the complex issues of a unique suburban context comprising a military district, a densely populated favela, a dilapidated industrial area, as well as a large expanse of native vegetation. with its new attractions and improvements, the deodoro sports complex will be consolidated by 2016 as a formidable world-class legacy of high-performance sports, forming a cluster with great potential for catalyzing a general revitalization of a significant area of the city.

the national shooting center covers approximately 50,000 square meters of built area and is set on an even vaster landscaped site. using a refined and limited material palette, an enigmatic grid of wooden baffles define this stark venue located on a trapezoidal plot in a valley surrounded by mountain peaks. led by architects bruno campos, marcelo fontes and silvio todeschi, BCMF arquitetos have completed the venue characterized by strong horizontal lines, providing plenty of space for spectators and indoor, outdoor grounds for the shooting events to happen throughout the olympic games.
