Centro Integrado Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres Iguatemi

Abstract

Participation in the Extension Project/Institutional Development “O Forte de Nossa Senhora dos Prazeres do Iguatemi” revealed a lack of understanding of local and regional history, especially in relation to this fortification. Such lack of informative historical dissemination, results in loss of connection from the community with its roots. Given this scenario, this work seeks to create an innovative space that not only welcomes the local community and visitors, but provides an experience rich in historical and cultural learning. Also, it was found lack of leisure spaces, low local economic index and the situation of indigenous people, who, to this day, face challenges and seek to promote rights and dignity. Therefore, the approach adopted includes qualitative analyses, interviews with local communities, geographic examination of the municipal area and the use of softwares to create sketches and digital modeling.
