Reabilitação do Trapiche Segundo: proposta de centro de artes visuais e exposição

Abstract

This study proposes the rehabilitation of Trapiche Segundo, a building located in the historic neighborhood of Jaraguá, in Maceió. The neighborhood, rich in history since the early days of Alagoas and the formation of Maceió in the 18th century, faces significant challenges in conserving its urban heritage. Trapiche Segundo, currently in a state of ruin, symbolizes the deterioration of many historical buildings in the region, reflecting decades of neglect and inadequate maintenance. In this context, the study proposes the transformation of Trapiche Segundo into a Center for Visual Arts and Exhibitions, aiming not only to physically restore the building but also to revitalize it culturally and socially. The choice of visual arts such as photography, sculpture, and painting is justified by the lack of dedicated spaces for these disciplines in Maceió, as well as the need to provide the local community with an environment conducive to artistic creation and enjoyment. The project is based on urban rehabilitation guidelines and specific legislation for the neighborhood, leveraging fiscal incentives for cultural initiatives as part of a broader strategy for sustainable development and preservation of historical heritage. The implementation of this project aims not only to recover a degraded space but also to contribute to the economic and social revitalization of Jaraguá, reaffirming its importance as a historic and cultural center of the city.
