The urban fabric of Rio De Janeiro (reimagined in stitching and wood) shows the city as an organism that sags under the weight of its own topography.  
Delicate street networks hug the mountainside but drop down into the space near the water.
The model decenters Christ the Redeemer among its rich and layered landscape, pulling attention to the texture of land, trees, and sea instead.
