It is elaborated for studies, diagnoses and evolutions of the proposal of an architectural draft of a cultural center for the neighborhood of Cidade da Esperança, in the city of Natal/RN, with the objective of having a space dedicated to the artistic and cultural practice, where the users feel integrated and belonging to the community. The studies, in theoreticalmethodological references, seek to understand the importance of cultural practices and their impact on a community, then the study was deepened in relation to the use of containers in architecture, with a view to reusing this element as a constructive method, also the importance of scenic architecture for environments aimed at artistic activities, highlighting colors, lights and scale. The diagnosis of the area under intervention involves both the urban and legal dimensioning, as well as the community's need for artistic-cultural equipment. Reading the community involved historical data from the neighborhood, social profile, but also identifying the needs of a community in which the project is located. Surveys are carried out in loco, conversations with the community in question. Such information was taken into account in the elaboration of an architectural project: accessibility, reuse of materials, after-hours support for young people, open spaces, preservation of existing vegetation. To develop the evolution of the preliminary project, reference studies were identified, which, together with the theoretical-scientific studies, guided the understanding of the dynamics of uses destined for cultural activities, as well as the construction of the concept "rescue, reuse" and a program of needs for spaces cultural. So, this work is structured in three parts: (I) theoretical basis; (II) diagnosis of the intervention area; (III) guidance for the preliminary design of a cultural center and evolution of the proposal, also following, in the annex, the technical planks of the architectural pre-project of the cultural center.
