A samaritana: simbolismo, memória e história: uma proposta de reuso para um edifício de valor patrimonial no bairro da Ribeira. Natal, RN

Abstract

This Professional Master's Conclusion Work, also constituted in a technical report, consists of an architectural project of intervention in a building of patrimonial value in the Ribeira neighborhood, destined to spaces for social, corporate events and a museum with emphasis on its memory, history and symbolism. Projects in buildings of historical interest are complex in themselves, the difficulties of adapting to contemporary times require backed decisions, especially with regard to buildings in a state of ruins. In order to develop the project, a theoretical and conceptual study of the theme of restoration was initially carried out through bibliographic research and studies of related design references. Then, the architectural programming was developed, with definition of dilemmas and goals of the project. From this base, and with the help of the curricular components of the course, the design process was gradually being developed and mapped, through various forms of registration, from the initial stages of historical survey and construction, studies of constraints, design and development of the architectural party. Considering the specific objectives, the work sought architectural strategies to minimize the impacts of the intervention, seeking reworkability and authenticity. The results achieved consist of the project proposal for the “A Samaritana” building, seeking to adapt it to its new use, reconciling the current recommendations for restoration and the current legislation. Finally, it is expected that this work, still under development, will meet the needs imposed on the project and may contribute to professional training in relation to the theme addressed.
