Given the tourist vocation of the city of Natal/RN and in view of society's search for new gastronomic and cultural experiences, a draft of a gastronomic and cultural center was developed applying the principles of Neuroarchitecture. Its main objective is to offer the city of Natal-RN, its residents and visitors, a multifunctional space with options for leisure, culture and gastronomic preferences that bring them closer to regional characteristics, applying efficient constructive elements that provide experiences that unite well-being , comfort and positive sensations. The establishment is located in the Capim Macio neighborhood and will feature a market, kids area, two restaurants, a gourmet bar, cafeteria, exhibition hall, craft store, classroom with workshops, and an outdoor area for food fairs. Its architecture features contemporary features, the use of straight lines, balance and a mix of construction materials such as glass, steel, concrete and natural elements such as wood and stone. Using the principles of neuroscience applied to architecture, design solutions were developed using elements from nature in internal and external environments. For the elaboration of the project proposal, bibliographic research, reference studies, technical visits to local restaurants with application of questionnaires were necessary, in addition to the use of relevant standards and legislation, contributing to the preparation of pre-dimensioning, definition of flows and ensuring adequate functionality to the project . In view of the studied aspects, the importance of a multifunctional space combined with gastronomy and culture that promotes leisure for the city, its inhabitants and visitors was verified, favoring the development of tourist activity.
