Brazil’s Adaptive Football Fields
July 7, 2011
A series of images from photographer Joachim Schmid documents contextual urbanism at work: Schmid, in a helicopter above some of Brazil’s most populous cities, captured images of ad hoc football fields created on disused or vacant lots. O Campo demonstrates the old adage that “necessity is the mother of invention.” Alternatively: “Make it work.”
Says Schmid, “the desire for playing the game has clearly surpassed and ignored the limitations of natural topography and FIFA’s laws.”
