The city of Balneário Camboriú, in Santa Catarina, known for its modernity and tourist infrastructure, will receive a new large-scale venture inspired by the iconic Times Square in New York. Called New York Food Lounge, the space promises to bring an immersive and interactive experience, blending gastronomy, technology, and entertainment. The project, which has an estimated investment of R$ 50 million, is seen as the creation of the Brazilian Times Square, attracting tourists and locals looking for a new leisure option.

Location and Structure of the ‘Brazilian Times Square’ Project

The New York Food Lounge will be located at the corner of Avenida Brasil and Alvin Bauer, one of the busiest areas of Balneário Camboriú, according to information from the city’s Tourism Secretary. The structure will feature a large gastronomic space, bringing together about 30 themed restaurants with national and international cuisine, as well as bars and live entertainment areas.

The project’s highlight will be its interactive LED panel, named “Times Square Brasil,” which will allow customers to interact in real-time through an exclusive app. This technology, developed by the company TechVision Brasil, aims to create an immersive experience, bringing the public closer to the famous aesthetic of the original Times Square and consolidating the idea that Balneário Camboriú will be the stage for the Brazilian Times Square.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

Government wants to pay up to R$ 8,000 to more than 2,300 traditional families in over 100 communities in Acre and Amazonas for environmental services provided to the Amazon.

Brazilian family creates machine that transforms seawater into fresh water, produces up to 130 liters per hour, facilitates routine on vessels, and boosts family business along the country’s coast.

Between Egypt and Sudan, Bir Tawil is no man’s land that neither country wants on paper, but in practice has gold mining, nomadic tribes, and even fake “kings.”

Swimming champion Shavarsh Karapetyan dove about 40 times into a frozen lake in Armenia to rescue a sunken bus, saved 20 lives, and lost his career because of it.

To halt the advance of the Sahara, the 8,000 km Great Green Wall in the Sahel relies on reforestation to combat desertification, but by 2026 it remains far behind the goal of 100 million hectares.

Long before sustainable construction became a trend, China built earthen fortresses with multiple floors, a central courtyard, and the capacity to house up to 800 people living in a community.

Switzerland took 17 years to tear through the Alps and build the world’s largest railway tunnel, a 57.1 km passage under 2,300 meters of rock, with 50 °C heat and 28.2 million tons excavated to connect the north to the south of Europe.
