A efemeridade no uso: sistema construtivo modular e flexível em espaços gastronômicos

Abstract

It is difficult to associate Architecture with something finished, that was planned to have an end, in which its length of time is linked to a specific need and ceases to exist after fulfilling its purpose. The ephemerality in architecture arises to structurally assist a demand, which can be: an event, exhibition stands, fashion shows, stages for concerts, temporary beds and, in the case of this project, a leisure space with a gastronomic focus. Therefore, the flexibility of a metallic construction system that could adapt to different sites was studied, in order to attend neighborhoods with tourist potential in the city. Thereby, scaffolding modules were made to seal and divide environments, moreover, the use of cargo containers for planning the kitchen, bathrooms and water reservoir. The purpose of the present study is to show how these temporary structures can solve an equally temporary problem: the lack of nighttime leisure in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte.
