Casarão n°87: proposta de reabilitação para abrigar atividades culturais e hospedagem

Abstract

The project consists of developing a preliminary study, which aims to rehabilitate the historic mansion nº87, located at Giz street, in the Historic Center, with the final objective of transforming it into a building that can be used for different uses in its spaces, for accommodation, attractions and cultural activities in Maranhão. The idealization of a proposal for this space arises from the need to preserve the historical construction from the colonial period, which is located in the area of federal heritage site, however, it is currently in a state of ruin, due to lack of care and its own degradation during the years. Maranhão culture is known for being rich and diverse, marked by the influence of the people who formed the state, which results in great interest from different groups, both from outside the state and local people from Maranhão. The methodology used in the project is based on theoretical research into interventions in historic buildings, together with data collection from the building itself, with the purpose of recovering and preserving historic heritage. In this way, the rehabilitation of the historic mansion for new uses has the function of promoting vibrancy to itself and its surroundings (Historic Center), at the same time as it acts in the protection of heritage
