Proposta para a nova sede da Biblioteca Municipal Dom Aquino Corrêa em Naviraí-MS

Abstract

In a context marked by digitalization and social inequalities, libraries face significant challenges, such as the reduction in the number of units in Brazil. This work proposes a preliminary project for the new headquarters of the Dom Aquino Corrêa Municipal Library in Naviraí-MS, aiming to overcome the limitations of the current space, which does not adequately meet the community's demands. The new project seeks to create an accessible, functional, and innovative environment that promotes social inclusion and coexistence. The theoretical framework emphasizes the role of libraries as agents of social transformation, highlighting the need for architecture that reflects their multiple functions. Strategies for universal accessibility and principles of bioclimatic architecture are fundamental to ensuring comfort and autonomy for users. The research included the application of questionnaires to the community, revealing the demand for an expanded collection, study spaces, and improvements in environmental comfort. The results indicate that the new library should be a dynamic and welcoming space, capable of stimulating learning and knowledge exchange. Thus, the project aims not only to revitalize the library but also to reinforce its role as an essential pillar in the formation of a more inclusive and informed society.
