Food park ferroviário do baixinho: o reuso do antigo galpão de carpintaria da RFFSA em Natal/RN

Abstract

A place’s history is told by the memories left and the materials that belonged to it. These permeiate among families and memories of its citizens aggregating each of the story influencing in its own way everyone’s lives. However, it’s known that preservation culture and use of edification of public interest is scarce among the Natal’s population and because of that we lost physical means that we needed to tell the city’s history and the advances over the years are lost. With that being sad, this paper intends to create a proposal for reuse draft for the old Carpentry Shed of RFFSA at Rua Almino Afonso, 21 - Bairro das Rocas, Natal-RN. For that it was necessary, in first plan, the study of Bairro da Ribeira and das Rocas’ history; of the old train station of RFFSA; and of the concepts used for the preservation of building of patrimonial value. The authors Gabriel Leopoldino Paulo de Medeiros e Angela Lúcia Ferreira (2007); Mara Nogueira e Adriana Nunes (2013); Gabriel Veloso (2011); Wagner Rodrigues (2006) were referenced used for the development of this paper. Then, referential studies were carried out in buildings that underwent interventions by architects; Contell- Martínez Arquitectos, Francisco Fanucci e Marcelo Ferraz, Cecilia Wolff Cecchi e Juan Sepulveda Grazioli, Vinicius Macêdo. These architects allowed to see the best disposition of environments and possible problems in the draft. In addition, the ambiental analysis and legal constants in the municipal documents and the agencies responsible for the patrimony. As a result, this study brings up the need of the preservation of historic centers and in this case the reuse of the same. As a result of this it was planned a draft of a food court with the intent of bringing life to this part of Bairro das Rocas, where the building is situated.
