Janelas panorâmicas: intervenção arquitetônica na casa do estudante do Rio Grande do Norte

Abstract

This research presents reflections on the design practice of interventions in the patrimony built in Natal / RN to the Professional Master in Architecture, Design and Environment of the PPAPMA-UFRN. The study proposes a compatibilization of the preservation and conservation of the building to the demands of current uses and technologies, with the theme "Preservation and Conservation of Built Heritage". The primary objective is to design an architectural intervention in a building of historicalpatrimonial value in the light of the theories on patrimony, based on the premise of the viability of a project integrated with the urban environment. To support the preliminary project, a specific bibliographical review was carried out on the subject; we have studied reference precedents with themes similar to those proposed in this research; it was necessary to characterize the building of the Student House of Rio Grande do Norte (CERN) and its immediate surroundings; there were studies in the research line of the Urban Paths for the apprehension of the landscape; and, finally, the elaboration of architectural programming, from the definition of the problem and the goals, to the conception of a concept and an architectural party. The proposal had as its premises: the understanding of the contemporary theories of restoration and conservation, for its application in the taking of interventionist positions in front of the built patrimony; the proposition of the diversity of uses, to promote the economic viability of the Student House of Rio Grande do Norte (CERN) and the vitality in its surroundings; and the reconnection between the Potengi River, CERN and the historic center of the Cidade Alta district, contributing to the recognition of CERN's equity appreciation. It is hoped that this work will contribute to the professional qualification, mainly, in the decision making in intervention projects in areas and buildings of historical-patrimonial value. And broaden the discussion on the subject in academia, combining theory and practice.
