Arquitetura livre: centro administrativo e cultural de São João - PE

Abstract

This end graduation project aims to develop the architectural design of a Cultural and Administrative Center for the municipality of São João in Pernambuco. The proposal arose from the need identified in the municipality and had as its guiding principle the spatial continuity provided by reflection on free space as Free Archi - tecture. Methodologically, the work began with the understanding of the urban space for defining the terrain, which led to the combi - nation of administrative and cultural activities, which is consistent with the reality of São João. Open space, free access, permeability, environmental comfort and the structural system were the main design issues that led to the design of the Cultural and Administrati - ve Center. The explored the relationship of free architecture and city and free architecture and building. In the first case, the cultural context and place show the thematic relevance explored, in the second case, the permeability of the theme that permeates the project, which has different uses, is identified as a virtue, since the adapta - tion of the space to different conditions following the same concept is the principle Generator of the whole project.
