As it is an elevated modernist building, designed and built before the decree of the first Fire Prevention and Fighting Code in Rio Grande do Norte, in 1974, the study led to the following question: how to adapt this 14-story building to the current requirements of the legislation, maintaining its architectural characteristics? The work had as general objective to develop the basic project of prevention and firefighting for the headquarters of Sesap/RN, preserving its authenticity and adapting it to the current requirements and standards of Fire Safety (SCI). From this technical project, it was observed that the architectural changes caused are due to the adequacy of the emergency exits (horizontal circulation and stairs) and the façade compartmentation (glass frames), but they are not requirements caused by the presence of modernist elements . Thus, it was possible to conclude that the maintenance of the modernist characteristics does not meet the SCI legislation in force.Acesso AbertoProjeto arquitetônicoProjeto de prevenção e combate a incêndioEdifício modernistaRetrofitmasterThesis
