Schreder Lights the Olympic Games of Rio de Janeiro

Posted by Matt Sedlock

Aug 17, 2016 11:11:43 AM

Logo-2016.pngHosting the 2016 Summer Olympics was more than an opportunity for the city of Rio de Janeiro to invest in the city’s sports infrastructure. With a goal of boosting toursim and economic development the city also revitalized the nearby Porto Maravilha port area into a cultural and business hub. Long after the games conclude, the area along with many other locations, will continue to shine bright thanks to Schreder.  
 
Porto Maravilha
 
Praca-Maua-lit-by-Yoa-Schreder-Rio-de-Janeiro-PRACA-MAUA-07.jpgThe area has been transformed with new office developments, the futuristic Museu do Amanha (Museum of Tomorrow) and plenty of open spaces for visitors and people working in the area to relax and soak up the beautiful views of the coast.

A new sustainable tramway was also built to transport people in and out of the port, strongly improving mobility within the city. Schreder was delighted to participate in this innovative project that will provide a lasting legacy for the residents of Rio de Janeiro. We provided sustainable lighting solutions that create safe and welcoming spaces for people to enjoy, bringing the areas to life at night for a long time to come.
 
Maracana Arena 
 
This iconic landmark for Brazilians regularly hosts national and international matches and events such as the FIFA 2014 World Cup and will host the opening ceremony of the Olympic games.
Macarena-Arena-Rio-de-Janeiro-lit-by-Schreder.jpg
As the largest stadium in South America, it can seat 78,838 spectators. Schreder supplied cost-effective LED lighting solutions to enhance the landscape around the arena and ensure the highest level of security for the many visitors entering and leaving the arena. Schréder also illuminated the façade of the arena to boost the excitement of these festive events.
 
Olympic Parks

The Akila Olympic benefits from all the photometrical flexibility of the original luminaire to light all the different landscapes in a more sleek design.  


More than 1,000 Akila Olympics are installed throughout the city, providing a bright white light that ensures a safe passage for the general public making their way to and from the numerous sporting venues in the city such as Maria Lenk Aquatic Park, Future Arena, Deodoro Stadium and the Rio Olympic Velodrome.
 
Parque Madureira
 
This urban oasis was developed in one of the most built-up areas of Rio Janeiro with the clear intention of transforming the landscape and quality of life for the residents. The 3rd largest park in the city, it offers multiple activities including football pitches, ping-pong tables, a skate park, an amphitheatre and food kiosks.
Parque-Madureira-Rio-de-Janeiro-lit-by-Schreder-RJ-MG-2265.jpg
