O MUSEU E SUA CONTRIBUIÇÃO NA CONSTRUÇÃO DA CULTURA, MANUTENÇÃO E TRANSFORMAÇÃO URBANA

Abstract

This work has a project proposal of a museum, implanted in the city center of Varginha-MG with the aim of requalifying the space, instigating and stimulating access and artistic practice as a tool for valuing patrimonial property and cultural heritage. Considering an absence of areas dedicated to artistic practices, a proposal presents itself as an important instrument of urban development, since the potential of insertion of an individual is a historical and artistic element of the city in its characteristics of identification and belonging. The research is based on three stages of development: the theoretical foundation necessary to understand the problematic about the theme; the diagnosis and analysis raised in the intervention area, in order to assimilate the urban context and its main characteristics; and the elaboration of the concept, party and volumetric study concerning the design proposal. Finally, it is intended to highlight the importance of architecture as a tool for requalification and valorization of patrimonial property, art and public space; considering the museum as a promoter of artistic production, political and critical in the present, able to insert the individual into the historical setting, and so to speak, in memory; and to help him build a future of cultural plurality within the city.
