Proposta de requalificação paisagística para a pedreira do Atuba

Abstract

The civil construction industry works to build the cities we live and enjoy, however, for that it needs raw material for such feats. It is known that much of this material is removed from nature through the exploitation of mineral resources from deposits, for example, which have finite resources. Once explored, these places lose their use and end up becoming obsolete for civil construction, which migrate to another location in search of obtaining these resources. Such deposits, after explored, end up losing their function and waiting and without a final use. Often, such places are inserted within the city and end up becoming large voids, abandoned and misused, generating garbage, diseases and not fulfilling a social function. The city of Curitiba has part of its history based on mineral exploration and, therefore, the presence of quarries in several places in its urban area is common, one of them being Pedreira do Atuba, on the border with the municipality of Colombo. This one, already deactivated, currently functions as a parking lot for abandoned cars and is located next to a very frequented space for sports and leisure, the Parque do Atuba. This monograph proposed the elaboration of a new urban park for Curitiba on the land where the Pedreira do Atuba is located and, currently, it is in a state of degradation and abandonment. With this, it is intended to create a large complex of culture and leisure, integrating it with the existing and controlled Parque do Atuba, taking equipment that does not yet exist in the place and helping in the demands that are not supplied by it. For this, minimal intervention is sought in the natural characteristics of the land, aiming to preserve the local memory and recover neighboring municipalities, which have their history built on top of mineral exploration. The research was carried out based on a bibliographic review of sober basic concepts or theme, studies and diagnosis on the study area, together with an interview with local residents and analysis of case studies that deal with the theme. After that, some guidelines were elaborated só that this is a complex that meets the demand of the local population, but that also acts as a sport, tourism and leisure complex that is an invitation to the population of other neighborhoods of Curitiba and the RMC.
