Proposta de valoração paisagística para o Mirante da Santa Amélia, em Maceió - Alagoas

Abstract

This work, entitled Proposal for landscape enhancement for Mirante da Santa Amélia, Maceió - Alagoas, aims to propose a preliminary landscape design for the aforementioned viewpoint, which provides better socio-spatial conditions for users. It is intended to demonstrate the entire landscape potential of the area, recognizing this space as a reference element for Maceió's cultural heritage, as the city hall classifies it. This study justifies the need for improvements in public space and the lack of adequate urban equipment that meets local demands. To develop the study, metric and photographic surveys were initially carried out at Mirante da Santa Amélia and its surroundings; subsequently applied to theoretical-conceptual research, deepening the analysis with case studies selected due to their geographic, tourist and cultural importance, of which the following stand out: the Mirante da Batalha in Chacabuco in Chile, the Mirante da Mata in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais and the Mirante do Calvário in the city of Água Branca, Alagoas. Based on these studies and analyses, a methodology for project development was developed based on the following axes: ecological structure and landscaping, road system, collective spaces and accessibility. In this way, a preliminary project proposal was developed based on theoretical research, recognition of the location, potential, demands and possibilities of its space, in accordance with what the architecture of the viewpoints has and can offer to users in general. It is hoped that this work will contribute to reflections on the appreciation of public leisure spaces in the city, as well as the use of viewpoints in the current urban panorama.
