The work is a preliminary study for the architectural project for the place called “Cais da Memória” (Memory Pier). This is an intermodal cultural complex for the affective experience of the city of Natal that happens by way of occupation and travel by land, water, and air. The building is designed at the urban scale and functions as a center for cultural activities and a station for public transport of diverse kinds. Located on the banks of the Potengi river, between the historic center, the monument called Pedra do Rosário, and the community known as AEIS Passo da Pátria, the project seeks to integrate and add value to these four areas of great symbolic and historic value to the city. The thesis is organized around the academic curriculum and the programmatic content of the classes taken during the Graduate Studies Program in Architecture, Design, and Environment of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) AND specific bibliography. The thesis is made up of five chapters. It begins with a preliminary study of the spatial characteristics, building on prior projects on the topic. Then establishes a relation between the components and a preliminary architectural design. Therefore, determines the universe of the study (the land), analyzes norms and laws, includes a collection of statistics, submits sketches and climatic and technical evaluations, and determines the concept of the proposal. Finally, the design of the place, elaborating and dissecting the proposal, given the repertoire studied. In this way, the research contributed to the improvement of architectural solutions for buildings with urban significance and cultural uses, with solutions that embrace and redesign the existing urban network and establish a possible profile that public space should have in order to allow the development of a healthier urban context through the meeting, sociability, and appropriation of the space.Acesso AbertoCentro culturalProjeto de arquiteturaUrbanidadeIntermodalidadeIntervenção em sítio históricomasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS: ARQUITETURA, PROJETO E MEIO AMBIENTE
