--- 8 --- Something called Progress - The Trump Towers/Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (Luan Vinicius)

The Trump Towers are known as a symbol of progress and development. Rio de Janeiro is living an intense phase of evolution in your urban scenario. A lot of buildings are being constructed and areas are being revitalized. All these are to make the city be prepared to the Olympic Games and stay actualized with the others great capitals around the world. In fact, now Rio is not anymore a brazilian city, but a city of the world. The question is that Rio presents a different aspect from the others great cities. It is a city recognized not only by your lifestyle, but also by the nature  inside the city. Mountains and skyscrapers are side by side, dividing the city and living together, what make the city an exotic and different place from others around the world. But, with the recent advantages, Rio is suffering with the high increase of buildings that are changing the visual of the city. Not only buildings, but giants that can be the signal of progress, but also the destruction of the past. When I saw from the first time the Trump Towers Project in Rio de Janeiro, I was really scared because how strange it will look like there. They will be located in front of the harbor and they look like "giants" capping the view of the city. The mountains and the nature will be behind these massive big walls.The question is "What is the limit between the progress and destruction?"
