Barraca para feira livre: estudo de caso da feira livre de Viçosa-AL

Abstract

The present work encompasses the conception of a collapsible and transportable market stall for the open-air market in the city of Viçosa, intended for personal use. The motivation for initiating the project stemmed from my experience as a user of this type of furniture over the years, along with my family. During this period, I identified the need to provide greater comfort and safety during work activities, highlighting the deficiencies of existing stalls, such as risks of improper use, unhygienic and heavy materials, and deterioration caused by natural factors. The methodology adopted for this project was based on the approach of Löbach (2001), incorporating elements from the product development methodology proposed by Baxter (2000). The analysis of tools developed during the research and project development process enabled the creation of a collapsible and transportable market stall. The design includes the use of sustainable materials, providing a response to the real needs of users in their continuous use. This approach gives the project its own identity, aligned with the concepts and solutions addressed throughout the process.
