Diálogo entre eras: impacto da arquitetura contemporâneo na paisagem do sítio histórico da Ribeira, em Natal/RN

Abstract

This study investigates the interaction between historical and contemporary architecture in the Ribeira neighborhood, Natal/RN, focusing on the balance between heritage preservation and modernization. The research analyzes the aesthetic and cultural impact of new buildings on the urban landscape, seeking to understand the coexistence between the old and the new. Key concepts such as plastic impact, critical regionalism, and heritage guidelines are addressed to support proposals for harmoniously integrating contemporary buildings within a historical context. The study also emphasizes the role of public policies, community engagement, and cultural appreciation in promoting sustainable and inclusive urban development. Thus, this work contributes to a deeper understanding of preserving the neighborhood's cultural identity, ensuring that architectural innovations respect its historical and cultural value.
