Abstract

The present work brings the proposal of an architectural and landscape intervention for the building of the current Colégio Estadual de Correntina, former Educandário São José, which today is deteriorated and with a big chance of demolition. As the main objective is the physical restructuring of the School, interventions were indicated to improve the accessibility and use of internal and external spaces, taking into account the existing architectural elements, preserving what was possible to be preserved. For the elaboration of the proposal, site visits were carried out, with the objective of collecting physical data from the building and the intervention area. In addition, interviews were conducted with residents of the town, documentary and academic research aimed at providing sufficient information and data to support the proposal. Through the object of study, the proposal tries to awaken in the Correntina town community, in the countryside of Bahia, the feeling of belonging and appreciation of the local historical architectural heritage, that has undergone irretrievable transformations, in addition to providing the approximation between people and everyday life of the built environment, allowing one to be part of the history of the other.
