Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Arquitetura e Urbanismo) - Departamento de Arquitetura, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2024.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/62243In recent years, with the low job availability and low level of education among most of the Brazilian population, the search for formal jobs has become increasingly difficult. Thusly, popular entrepreneurship has emerged as an alternative to the high rates of unemployment and underemployment, and is a solution for the population living in poverty to ensure the livelihood of their families. However, the lack of equipment that offers technical support to this entrepreneurial public is still a latent challenge in society. Knowledge is a pillar for the success of these entrepreneurs in the market. These professionals often have not had access to even basic education throughout their lives, and far from it, they have never had access to the technical knowledge necessary for the positive management of a business. Based on these demands, this work proposes the development of an architectural project for a training and development center for popular entrepreneurs in the Alecrim neighborhood. For the architectural proposal, the emphasis was on flexibility, in order to meet the needs of the entrepreneur in different scenarios over the years. In order to achieve these objectives, the following steps were adopted: identify the architectural needs characteristic of a center for popular entrepreneurship; understand aspects related to the flexibility of spaces for the creation of a corporate building; apply design guidelines related to flexible architecture to propose a space dedicated to entrepreneurial training that can adapt to the demands of use over time. As a result, the building has 3,039.92 m² distributed over three floors, with its program organized around two axes: Entrepreneurial Education and Support Companies.Attribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/Projeto arquitetônicoEmpreendedorismo PopularFlexibilidadebachelorThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::ARQUITETURA E URBANISMO::PROJETO DE ARQUITETUTA E URBANISMO
