Na terra da tapiaca e do mandubé: uma proposta de estudo preliminar do mercado de peixes de Pindaré-Mirim/MA

Abstract

The existence of the Pindaré River was necessarily essential for the development of Pindaré-Mirim/MA, from the XIX century until today. In fact, the history of the city is intertwined with the figure of the river - in a symbiotic relationship - where the culture of fishing is intrinsic to the culture of the Pindareense population. For the city, fish is subsistence, the main gastronomic dish, and the promoter of the local economy. However, despite its relevance, this freshwater fish - as a commercial product - is undervalued because the conditions under which it is sold are unhealthy, exposing it to contamination. Therefore, this work has as a general objective the elaboration of an architectural proposal, in a preliminary study level, for the Pindaré-Mirim Fish Market. For a better understanding, the approach was qualitative and exploratory, tracing from the chronology of public markets and the commercial relation between fish and market to the evident relation between rivers and cities around the world - correlating them as to urban development - and the historical survey of the intervention area. With this work we seek to highlight and preserve, through architecture, the local culture proposing not only a commercial sector, but also an attractive space for the city of Pindaré-Mirim
