Arquitetura na Encruzilhada: O Espaço Sagrado da Umbanda entre Rito e Forma. Estudo espacial e simbólico dos Terreiros de Umbanda e Proposta de Projeto para a Tenda de Umbanda Mãe Nanã em Campo Grande-MS.

Abstract

The present work seeks to investigate how the rite is reflected in the architectural space of Umbanda terreiros and how they relate to the city, focusing on the capital of Mato Grosso do Sul, Campo Grande - MS. The research is developed from a historical perspective, seeking to understand how Umbanda was formed, recognizing its African and indigenous roots, extolling its influence on Brazilian society and culture, in addition to exposing the religious racism that practitioners of Afro-Amerindian religions suffer systematically. Based on analyzes of the rites, symbols, deities and festivities linked to religion, and how they relate to the urban environment, an architectural and landscaping project was developed for a Terreiro, named Tenda de Umbanda Mãe Nanã in Campo Grande-MS.
