Centro comunitário professora Maria Ruth Barbosa Cruz: espaço de convivência no município de Paulo Bento-RS

Abstract

Currently, communications and human coexistence are becoming less frequent, considering the intensive use of digital media. Thus, it is necessary that public spaces of leisure arise that stimulate people to re-explore the concepts of life in society. Faced with this, architectural projects need to respond to these human needs, from an increasingly urban society. In this context, and as a way of attracting people to the promotion of personal and social well-being, community centers emerge. These offer leisure activities, education, sport and culture for the population. However, few cities in Brazil have such an important architectural typology. Following this national reality, in the city of Paulo Bento, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, there are few spaces that integrate the population. Thus, the objective of this work is to propose at the level of architectural design a community center for the city of Paulo Bento, in Rio Grande do Sul. The methodology of the work is descriptive, based on the analysis of secondary data. The research results show that qualified public spaces increase the well-being and quality of life of the users, through the activities offered, the coexistence and socialization between people, and mainly, through a welcoming and functional architecture.
