Often seen as mere apparatuses of mobility, transit infrastructures in Rio de Janeiro hold political and environmental potentials that remain largely unexplored. These infrastructures materialise the state of transit — the regional urban condition and the daily collective form of the metropolis. This book proposes four architectural design strategies that act on existing infrastructures and stimulate their collective potentials: Strategy of the Club; Strategy of the Greenhouse; Strategy of the Banquet; and Strategy of the Pool.
