KREOD Unveils Curving International Trade Pavilion for 2016 Rio Olympics

London-based KREOD Architecture recently unveiled plans for a 13,000 square foot International Trade Pavilion to debut at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games. The swooping white structure will be twenty times larger than KREOD's former trade pavilion made of interlocking wood for the 2012 London Olympics. This temporary pavilion will be docked on a floating platform in the Barra da Tijuca lagoon and will host a series of international business events.
