At the Museu de Arte do Rio (MAR), the architects at Bernardes + Jacobsen linked a Baroque palace, a police building, and a bus terminal via a wave-shaped roof and a walkway. The resulting contemporary art showplace hosts exhibits and performances.

The Museu de Arte do Rio (MAR) functions out of three buildings—the Dom João VI Mansion (that was once a palace), a police building, and another structure that was originally a bus terminal—that are linked by a wave-shaped roof, a walkway, and a square. The mansion houses the museum’s exhibition galleries, while the police building houses Escola do Olhar, an education initiative that teaches public school educators about art. The major challenge facing designers Bernardes + Jacobsen> was uniting these three areas.

A parade of dramatic rocks marches through Utah’s Canyonlands, where you can view the entire park as one dramatic sculpture. It’s a three-dimensional playground of smooth rock, twin rivers, narrow canyons, wildflower gardens, hidden meadows, and otherworldly colors.

The largest national park in the Canadian Rockies, Jasper is wild in every sense of the word. The striking cornflower blue water of the Athabasca River runs through this stretch of wilderness in far western Alberta, carving a path between rugged canyons and inviting explorers, hikers, and photographers.
