Anteprojeto do Centro Comunitário Jorge de Lima, no bairro do Vergel do Lago, em Maceió-AL

Abstract

The following text approaches the absence of a public architecture focused on activities such as leisure, reading and study in the neighborhood of Vergel do Lago in the city of Maceió-AL. The community center is introduced as a response to the problem. In that way, are brought forward definitions of the tipology, the needs of the neighborhood and case studies with examples from projects of school architecture produced in the 20th century, along with more recent interventions, from the 21th century, such as the Centros Educacionais Unificados (CEU’s) and Bibliotecas Parque. Those elements were used as a base for the elaboration of an architecture’s preliminary project of a building focused on the aspects of reunion and community development, entitled Centro Comunitário Jorge de Lima.
