The beginning of the 21st century is marked by an unparalleled technological revolution, with the modernization of computer networks, acceleration in the transition from the physical economy to the digital economy and the rise of currencies, digital items, artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR) ) and virtual (VR). According to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates (2021), by 2024, all business meetings will take place in the virtual universe, with the help of virtual reality glasses and other auxiliary equipment. In addition, the executive pointed out that the Covid-19 pandemic “completely changed” work environments, with companies offering vacancies for employees to work remotely. The objective of this work is to unite the creative and audiovisual potential existing in residents of Alagoas, to a technological and digital learning infrastructure, which makes possible a better professionalization, business incubation and the diffusion of the Creative Economy in Alagoas. The literature review was elaborated from the explanation of the three central concepts: Creative Economy, Information and Communication Technology (ICTs) and Digital Arts. Aspects of similar buildings in the regional setting and interviews with specialists were also studied to support the adopted design guidelines. The preliminary project was developed with attention to the bioclimatic context, sustainability issues and regional culture. In addition, it sought to align itself with the advances of the technical-scientific society, since it presents functional characteristics, conceived in an innovative, contemporary and stimulating aesthetic, with regard to creativity and collaborative work.
