Resumen
It is widely known that society is experiencing a time of climate change and that it is necessary to change some patterns in lifestyles in order to achieve a better balance on the planet. The Cultural Center, as an information-promoting space, can contribute to the education and awareness of its users on issues related to the theme of sustainability. The general objective of this work is to discuss the role of Cultural Centers as promoters of sustainable practices through the case study of the Fundição Progresso Cultural Center, located in the district of Lapa RJ, which carried out a renovation work based on sustainable principles, to adapt its space. . The renovation included two main projects: a sculpture-grid and a rain garden. The research was carried out based on theoretical framework and participant observation. The work brought results such as the improvement of the problems of local floods, the increase of the urban green area and its ecosystem benefits, a rescue of the visual and social relationship with the surroundings, besides bringing more beauty to the place. The positive results of the work added to the other projects of Fundição Progresso indicate that a cultural center is able to promote the theme of sustainability through its management plan, activities program, events, workshops and the physical space itself.
