FINAL The Beautiful Game vs Oppression by Mauro Brandi

Santos had just won the Intercontinental Cup when intercontinental ballistic missiles were one step short of their launch. An African player-turned-freedom fighter shuffled between Washington and Havana, Kennedy and Castro during the dramatic hours of the nuclear standoff. Soon after, and as a consequence of JFK's assassination, the unsung hero of the US national team was murdered. Democracy was next. The captain of the Beautiful Team and his comrades decided to counter the military coup, but the plot by the sponsor of the then highest-paid athlete in the world, Pelé, has been kept secret until today.

From the battlefields of Europe to African liberation and the fight for freedom in Asia, Australia and the Americas, FINAL traces the rise of football and its young stars in 'the century of fear,' as one former goalie and member of the French Resistance labeled the 20th century.

URBAN ROOTS

How are the spaces we inhabit related to our histories, our debates and self-reflection, our pragmatic needs? How does our understanding relate to many of the world's most pressing development and sustainability challenges? Urban Roots, an architectural design for Pier 40 on the Hudson River, was conceived to celebrate the history of NYC as point of multi-ethnic arrival, making intangible culture accessible and engaging, transforming heritage into vital experiences and concern into commitment.
