Circuito dos Pinhais: proposta de novo autódromo na região metropolitana de Curitiba

Abstract

The main object of the present academic work is the design of a motor racing complex project in the Curitiba Metropolitan Area. Although the automobile was initially created as a means of transportation, it has become a popular equipment for sports. With the automobiles technological advancement, the racetrack events had to adapt in order to accommodate the constant changes while also aiming to provide safer places for competitions. This research is based on case studies to understand the relationship between this equipment type with its surroundings and population, its infrastructure demands as well as its possibilities of flexibility of use, to avoid it having mono-activity. Lastly, this research analyzes these relationships within the Curitiba Metropolitan Area and establishes guidelines to be adopted in the project that will be further developed.
