CWBICHA: um centro de acolhimento e ação cultural no antigo hotel Tassi

Abstract

The present research focuses on the LGBTQIAPN+ population at risk and vulnerability as well as the production of living culture as a tool of care and welfare in the municipality of Curitiba. The work, in its contextualization, presents the history of the community’s struggle and its social developments related to current problems. It presents notions about the development of good architecture and definitions related to transitional institutional residence, necessary to the structure of the proposed programme. In addition, connections are made between cultural centres, the production of living culture and art therapy as an instrument of treatment of trauma. Through the interpretation of statistics, the urgency of accommodation and enhancing the life of a community that lives on the brink of exclusion is highlighted. The research also presents, in the face of the project directive of the restoration, the valuation of the historical heritage and the defense of cultural action amid the reuse of the old Hotel Tassi. As a result, we have the proposal of a Centre of Accommodation and Cultural Action that aims not only for the care, the reception and the appreciation of individualities, but also the production of art and the sharing of respect.
