Método projetual sustentável de ocupação replicável de vazios urbanos: um estudo de caso real em Curitiba

Abstract

This research proposes a method of occupying urban voids and based on the study of a real case in the city of Curitiba. The site was selected from the crossing of the map of central urban voids contained in the monograph of the author TARNOWSKI (2007), with the map of the hydrographic basins of Curitiba. The resulting site was a stretch of the river Belém, located in the Rebouças neighborhood, which suffers violence and neglect. For the analysis, the concepts of Landscape Ecology, Urban Acupuncture, Gardeners in the neighborhood and also aspects of sustainability contemplated in the AQUA - HQE Certification were adopted. Twenty questionnaires were also applied with the residents of the region to ensure that the proposed method includes popular participation in urban intervention decisions. Based on this analysis, the proposed method derives from a needs plan that considers environmental aspects, sustainability issues and local community participation, replicable in similar contexts. In this study, a criterion of choice of the intervention area was established, which meets two basic requirements: central urban voids and proximity to a river. In other studies, the method proposed here may obey other criteria for choosing the area of intervention, however the methodology proposed for analysis will be the same. The result is to adopt the concept of urban acupuncture of LERNER (2001), in the sense of being a strategic intervention that positively reverberates to consolidate the desired city, in this case, a sustainable city, a city with community self-confidence, in a healthy environment.
