Abstract

The urban life occurs on local exchanges, transitions and meetings, mostly this locals are Public Open Spaces turned to leisure and circulation, even so these many times, are overlook as their infrastructure. The city of Maceió - AL, whose development was initially marked in its central and coastal area, has greater urban infrastructure in these more consolidated areas, which also implies the concentration of Public Open Spaces turned to social practices, like squares, parks and others. This work aims to produce a preliminary landscape design of a urban park implanted in the Benedito Bentes I complex (located in the perimeter of the city of Maceió). The area chosen for intervention initially in the original project, delivered in 1986, had the function of being a space for uniting and meeting the community, but that 34 years later did not receive any kind of landscape and infrastructure treatment. Today with specific actions carried out by themselves residents the space functions as a square, soccer fields on natural ground and large unbuilding spaces, which serve only for pedestrian and vehicle circulation. The methodology was developed from: searches on the subject System of Public Open Spaces through monographs, articles and others in search of theoretical background on the subject; collection of data on the implementation of the set with the purpose of understanding the implementation; collection of data on the current situation, through on-site visits, Google maps and cartographic bases and production of maps of land use, infrastructure and others; and cases studies like the Sant Antoni’s Superilla Square in Barcelona - Spain, Ciudadela Park 29 july, in Santa Marta, Colombia and Requalification of the Senhor do Bonfim Hill located in Salvador, Brazil . The project has as concept In the backyard, which appears after the post diagnosis analyses of the relations of the complex’s residents with public open spaces, In the backyard highlights this familiarity created between the public open space as na extension of their homes, this appropriations occurs naturally and spontaneously, through this concept, four principles are developed (permeability, leisure, beatification and plurality) which together proposes a profusion of empowerment through spaces that are inviting to everyone.
