Retorno ao ninho: espaço de lazer e convívio ao ar livre no Pombal em Barreiras – BA

Abstract

The present work deals with giving back to the community part of the investment made in my training, providing better quality of life and dignity for the residents of the area known, until then, in a pejorative way, as Pombal. During the process, we made: analysis of the site, field visits, survey of the history, understanding of the potentialities and deficiencies of the site, dialogue with residents, survey of demands and areas that could receive some intervention. Knowledge about social housing in Brazil and its difficulties, linked to experiences in this place of living in ZEIS, made me more sensitive to observing the dynamics and particularities of living in this area. The cut used is from the city of Barreiras, in the west of Bahia, more specifically in ZEIS 1. The work presents itself with a propositional character, investigates built and sensitive aspects, and culminated in an analysis of the urban morphology and an urban project, which consists of a space to gather, residents and visitors of Pombal, where they can meet and feel comfortable, in this place that is a nest, that embraces and welcomes, who is from near or far. Furthermore, the process proved to be consistent, generating a series of products that enrich Barreiras urban databases, also serving to guide designers and managers in the possibilities of acting on the city.
