THE GOOG IN RIO

It looks as though Rio will win out in the global Guggenheim sweepstakes to see who gets to host the next branch of the museum. “The museum’s most likely site is understood to be by Praça Maua, in Rio’s rundown dock area. A dramatic outcrop of rocks between the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches was initially touted but then discarded, as the Guggenheim wants such projects to regenerate urban areas.” – The Guardian
