Território criativo: anteprojeto arquitetônico de equipamento cultural como instrumento de apoio à economia criativa de NatalRN

Abstract

Culture is a significant element that contemplates historical, social, economic and behavioral aspects, largely influencing human life. Despite being present in several facets of social organization, being discussed in different realities, the city of Natal-RN faces an infrastructural lack focused on this field, especially in relation to creative spaces and environments, contrasting with global and Brazilian trends. The disarticulation between cultural agents is one of the challenges in this scenario, bringing losses in several aspects. It is known that investment in the Economy of Culture and Creative Industries (ECIC) can boost the sustainable development of the city, benefiting the daily life and identity of the population. In this perspective, the objective of the work is to prepare a preliminary project of cultural equipment for the Tirol neighborhood, in order to encompass the creative community of Natal-RN, taking into account that these spaces give opportunity to expression, creativity, discussion and collaboration. Thus, it is necessary to understand the plurality of cultural classes and their needs, in order to design an environment committed to the subjects. For this, the present work investigated the concepts of Creative Economy, as well as the idea of Cultural Centers, contextualizing them in public policies. It was also sought to analyze projects of pertinent references. Then, the surroundings of the land chosen for the insertion of the preliminary project were studied, considering its physical conditioning characteristics, as well as legal and environmental issues. Finally, all the in-depth concepts were used in the conception of the preliminary project of cultural equipment.
