Centro Comunitário de Artes do IFBA: estudo preliminar de ampliação em área externa de edifício histórico, Sobrado n.35, Barbalho, Salvador

Abstract

The aim of this course completion project is to study the possibility of creating an extension to the external area of a historic building located in the Barbalho district of Salvador, owned by the Federal Institute of Science and Technology of Bahia. Based on a historical survey of the existing building, considering its shape and elements that indicate a prediction of the time of its construction, the work sought to understand the concepts and considerations necessary to carry out an intervention in a pre-existing building, looking for theoretical and practical references, and taking the Rodin Bahia Museum, or Bahia Museum of Contemporary Art, as the main project reference. Based on the premise of carrying out an extension while respecting the main building, balancing the historic and the new, surveys, field visits and consultation of legislation were carried out in order to achieve the best result. In this sense, the architectural proposal seeks to meet the needs of the target audience, i.e. the internal IFBA community and the population outside the campus, by designing a building called the IFBA Community Arts Center (CCA) which, being able to be used on different days of the week, will be a place to extend cultural activities and bring the community around the Institute closer together, taking care to insert itself harmoniously next to an existing building.
