Reabilitação urbana através de seus espaços públicos : corredor cultural e a praça Santos Andrade

Abstract

The present study aims to propose an urban and landscape design project that can create a connection between the cultural centres of Curitiba located in the central region of the city, with the promenade of XV pathwalk as the main link between them. The Santos Andrade Square as a receptor space for this Cultural Corridor will have a greater focus on design, thus linking elements that can recover an identity of the central region of Curitiba not only with the buildings but also with the passers-by. The first stage of the work is to understand how the urban study can have influence for a better sensory experience of the people who use the city and how the citizen relates to the urban environment and its memories. The most relevant reference studies for the project are squares in central areas of the city that establish a strong connection with existing buildings and the population; creating spaces that open the urban cultural scene. Later joining the reference information and the interpretation of reality it is possible to establish guidelines that are applicable to the city of Curitiba, respecting the heritage and use of its central region.
