Parque Urbano Rio Verde

Abstract

This Graduation Project (TCC) proposes Morro da Lua Park: An Immersion in South Mato Grosso's Geopaleontology, a multifunctional complex in the city of Rio Verde do Pantanal, Mato Grosso do Sul. The project aims at developing an urban park, an open-air geopaleontological museum, and a convention center, with the primary goal of integrating leisure, culture, and the preservation of valuable local geopaleontological heritage. By reclaiming an area degraded by mining activities, the TCC seeks to transform this space into a hub for environmental education and ecotourism for the community. The methodology employed was qualitative and exploratory, with an interdisciplinary approach combining knowledge from architecture, urbanism, and geosciences. The analysis of national references, such as Aterro do Flamengo and Instituto Inhotim, informed the design of a space that stimulates reconnection with nature and history, where landscaping is harmoniously integrated into the overall environment. Essentially, Morro da Lua Park represents an initiative to promote the quality of life and the appreciation of the region's natural and cultural legacy.
