This is a very good sign in the middle of the beach, that is very, very famous. So, there will be a lot of visitors and I think the Danes are well prepared to show they are very good at.
MARY, CROWN PRINCESS:
“Imponerende og simpelthen den flotteste udsigt man kan håbe på”
(Translation: “Impressive and simply the best view you can hope for).
4. INTERVIEW ARCHITECT SØREN ØLLEGAARD
Well i mean for us to be able to make a pavilion on Ipanema beach in Rio De Janeiro is a fantastic opportunity; so therefore of course i mean its a danish pavilion, but for us its very much about an invitation for the world, it´s an invitation and celebration of the olympic games. I think that´s the main goal. The content of the pavilion is a lot about sustainable cities; ways of living in sustainable cities; a lot about biking.
5. BICYCLES

9. INTERVIEW CROWN PRINCE JOACHIM
I think this is quite an iconic location; I think the whole idea of having, sort of, the idea before everybody else shows the ingenuity. Everybody who walks along Ipanema beach, whether they are brazilian, whether they are from Rio or whether they are from around the world,well they will be attracted and then they will have a little inspiration of what Denmark has to offer
10. The National Danish Girl´s Choir and Brazilian musician Daniel Jobim singing “The Girl from Ipanema”
11. INTERVIEW DANIEL JOBIM
Yes, the music combines so well; Danish music and Brazilian music, the styles, the harmonies, it´s so beautiful
12. INTERVIEW ARCHITECT SØREN ØLGAARD
We think that white is the right colour to be on a beach at daytime, but at night time we celebrate all colours of all nations. Of course the Brazilian flag is evident, i mean, at night time the lights here will turn around and will make different colours and projections to the fabric here, and that will create, like, this very special atmosphere of united colours.
