Midiateca em São Luís do Maranhão

Abstract

This work refers to the proposal of a Media Library to the city of São Luís do Maranhão in order to ease access to information as a way of learning and entertainment through the variety of media available today. We conduct research on the evolution of the media library and public library, and began the process of design by using a similar reference project. From then, we made surveys about the chosen site, the target public and the laws, rules and guidelines concerning this type of project. As a result, we prepared a draft of a media library. The complexity of developing a project for such equipment is reflected in the great number of variables that must be considered in the design process and is justified by his vital role in the informational society in which we live.
