Transformando o passado industrial em futuro cultural: pavilhão para eventos culturais em Curitiba/PR

Abstract

It was due to the changes and rearrangement of the city that underutilized industrial complexes emerged in downtown Curitiba. Located in the Prado Velho and Rebouças neighborhoods, these spaces became significant urban voids, prompting discussions about the preservation and requalification of Curitiba’s industrial heritage. Through requalification proposals created by the Municipal Government, some of these examples began to assume new functions 4 one example being the former Diana Salt and Sugar Factory, revitalized in 2017, which became the cultural events complex USINA 5. In 2021, the space was completely demolished, and currently, the land remains unused. This work aims to analyze the preservation of Curitiba’s industrial heritage, as well as to create a space for hosting events on the site where USINA 5 previously operated, aiming to reclaim its cultural use and requalify the Prado Velho region, promoting the preservation of the city’s industrial memory.
