Mirantes de memórias: proposta arquitetônica para a valorização cultural da cidade de Maceió - AL

Abstract

The absence of a monument dedicated to preserving the history and origins of Maceió, coupled with the gradual loss of knowledge accumulated over generations and the lack of effective sharing of this cultural heritage, forms the starting point for this research. This work delves into the theme of memorial architecture with a focus on the conception of an architectural pre-project, aimed at becoming a multifunctional space catering to both education and leisure for the local community. Thus, this proposal aims to promote cultural education, strengthen the sense of belonging, especially among younger generations, and stimulate knowledge sharing within the city, in addition to celebrating and honoring the history and origins of Maceió/Alagoas. The chosen location for the development of this project is situated between the neighborhoods of Centro and Farol in the city of Maceió, resulting in a building with a total constructed area of 3.171,5 m². Throughout the project's phases, an approach grounded in comprehensive typological studies was undertaken with the aim of building a strong knowledge base regarding memorial architecture. Additionally, current regulations related to the typology in question were taken into account. The final result is a Memorial proposal that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding landscape. This space not only promotes social inclusion but also encourages a wide range of activities for the community, going beyond direct contemplation and reflection on the theme. It is intended to host festivals, celebrations, dance performances, music, theater, lectures, workshops, and gatherings of different scales. This versatility provides a dynamic and enriching environment for the population.
