Haute: anteprojeto de um estúdio de rádio e hub de mídias

Abstract

Radio, historically associated with sound communication, has undergone a process of re-signification by incorporating digital and multimedia resources, evolving from being purely auditory to becoming multimodal. Thus, its transition to the digital environment consolidates radio as an expanded medium, integrated with new platforms and languages. Within this context, the present research aims to propose an architectural preliminary design for a radio studio integrated into a media hub, emphasizing acoustic performance and spatial functionality. The adopted methodology is based on a qualitative and quantitative approach, focusing on requirement surveys, comparative analysis, and case studies. The methodological stages comprised a review of specialized literature, analysis of national and international design references, examination of the physical, environmental, and urban conditions of the site, as well as the application of technical standards related to architectural acoustics and the functional performance of spaces. The study demonstrates its social relevance by including community-oriented areas, digital infrastructure, and the promotion of technical training, addressing a context characterized by a shortage of facilities dedicated to media production and digital inclusion. The preliminary design establishes a balance between acoustic conditioning and versatile architecture, grounded in spatial integration and technological infrastructure, as evidenced in the reference cases. The results indicate that the integration of acoustic solutions, sound-absorbing materials, and flexible spaces ensures sound quality and adaptability of the environments. It is concluded that the proposal satisfactorily meets the technical demands of audiovisual production while also functioning as a cultural and educational hub, contributing to the strengthening of the creative economy and local cultural expression. The originality of this work lies in the adaptation of international references to the regional context, resulting in a space that combines technological innovation and community impact, reinforcing the sociocultural identity of the Alto Oeste Potiguar region.
