A monthly contest from the editors of RECORD asks you to guess the architect for a work of historical importance.

Clue: This stone promenade has become synonymous with one of South America’s most popular beaches. The work of a landscape architect known for using abstract, playful compositions to generate fluid spatial sequences, this project marks the meeting of land and sea with a historic pattern of black-and-white waves.

By entering, you have a chance to win a $500 Visa gift card. Deadline to enter is the last day of each month at 5:00pm EST.
