MURB: anteprojeto de um museu e espaço cultural para Natal/RN

Abstract

This Final Work Graduation - titled MURB: Project of a Museum and Cultural Space for Natal/RN - discusses the architecture of cultural spaces that focus on the preservation, research and dissemination of knowledge. Considers, in addition, the theme of bioclimatology to produce appropriate buildings to local climate characteristics. This aims to minimize environmental impact and reduce energy consumption, demonstrating with the potential to provide energetic efficiency to buildings (LAMBERTS, 2004). The main objective is to draft a museum and cultural center for the city of Natal/RN, whose theme is the evolution of his history, told through its urban transformation. The theme arose from the problem related to the lack of cultural spaces in the city aimed at strengthening the bonds of identity and knowledge about the history of the place. The project design was supported by studies about the subject and analysis of site characteristics, resulting in a final solution which bioclimatic aspects - mainly lighting and natural ventilation - are key elements considered throughout the process of concept design.
