Modu(Lar): arquitetura adaptável como estratégia de potencialização cultural em Paracuru

Abstract

Understanding Culture as a symbolic expression of Brazilian society and as an inherent right of every citizen, this work seeks, through architecture, to translate this concept with the aim of proposing a cultural facility in the city of Paracuru (CE), based on the logic of a modular device adaptable to the needs of existing cultural spaces and manifestations in the city. The architectural proposal starts from the conception of a "raw shell," with an easily readable plan, capable of appropriation and transformation according to the demands of the spaces it will support. During the project's development, bibliographic references were used to deepen the understanding of the role of culture in social formation and collective belonging within the Brazilian context, combined with field visits that allowed for direct dialogue with users and managers of cultural facilities, contributing to a sensitive reading of the city. In parallel, a study of design references was carried out to guide the conception of the modular device and, as a result of this process, a base model was established, from which five possible variations were developed to meet the specificities of the cultural facilities presented and detailed throughout this work, as well as those that may emerge in the future.
