Conexões, memórias e vivências: das Barreiras ao acesso e do centro à margem histórica

Abstract

This course conclusion work stands for an extension of the research process that this writer went through, having been initiated during the undergraduate degree in architecture and urbanism in 2017, touching in themes such memory, identity and local history. It analyses a region determined by the author himself as "historical margin" of the city of Barreiras; the expression was coined to contrast the visibility of the historic centre - as the only relevant holder of architectural, urban planning and intangible elements of the city - with the invisibilization process through which a region "built" at the same time, and with the same importance for the growth of the municipality, has been subjected for almost thirty years. At this margin, its conformation was problematized - which begins with the construction of four elements: the Rocha Hydroelectric Power Plant, the Rêgo Canal, the Slaughterhouse and Eurico Dutra Hospital - and the interferences and transformations it has undergone up to the present days, such as the canal closure and the ruined state of the power plant and the slaughterhouse; as well as the process of urban analysis done in its currently surroundings ( in the Barreirinhas and São Pedro neighborhoods ) for the composition of this work. With the analyses and research, the urban intervention called "Minadouro de histórias do Rêgo" was the result; and consists on a plastic, functional and aesthetic solution that was designed to recall, meet the daily needs and demands and contribute to the preservation of the present historical elements and reviving the local memory through the use of the space and apprehension of the local history through the practice of walking - commonly practiced activity in the locality.
