Abstract

This undergraduate work refers to the proposal of urban and architectural intervention in Praça João XXIII, located in the Bairro Centro in Aracaju-SE. The objective of the work is to intervene in the area of urban and architectural mobility, preserving the heritage and functions of the Bus Terminal, increasing its capacity to accommodate the number of lines that arrive daily at the Terminal. Inserted in the inner area of the Square is the Luiz Garcia Bus Terminal which receives daily more than 200 thousand people who embark and disembark at the Bus Station through lines that serve the great Aracaju and the entire interior of the State. The current physical structure of the Terminal is not enough to meet the demand that exceeds its limit. Faced with this situation mobility problems are recurrent on the spot. Another problem identified is related to the surroundings of the Square where some spaces with great potential for use are abandoned. In order to propose a project intervention solution in Praça João XXIII, bibliographical researches and field surveys were carried out with the purpose of guiding the proposals to be presented. The degraded areas around the Square were proposed uses in the housing and commercial area and the expansion of walks to improve pedestrian circulation. Thus, it is concluded that over the years the process of transformation in the urban and sociospatial aspect, occurred in Praça João XXIII, allowed the generation of social and urban problems, impacting mainly on the urban mobility of the place.
