Requalificação da Extremidade da Ponta D'areia - São Luís/MA

Abstract

This study aims to know and analyze the difficulties and potentialities in the edge of the Península da Ponta D´Areia, in São Luís/MA city, in order to propose a set of references that direct an intervention proposal in the area. For this, a theoretical study was performed approaching several relevant subjects to the proposal, such as Urban Planning, Urban Requalification, Urban Design, Public Space and Referential Landmark. In order to contextualize them to the local reality, a study was done about the local specificities using data collected in the field. Finally, the work presents a set of suggestions for intervention according to perceived vocations of use to the site, such as contemplative leisure, recreation and promotion of cultural activity. It is believed that this area may be recognized as referential landmark for the São Luís city.
