Anteprojeto de um centro criativo de moda como ferramenta de inclusão social em Tobias Barreto/SE

Abstract

This research presents the architectural preliminary design of a Fashion Creative Center located in Tobias Barreto, Sergipe, conceived as a strategy to foster social inclusion and regional creative economy development. The study is grounded in the understanding of fashion as a phenomenon that transcends aesthetics, acting as a vector for identity affirmation and socioeconomic transformation. The central problem lies in the lack of structured spaces in the municipality — recognized as the "Sergipe Capital of Embroidery" — that integrate professional training, production, and marketing for local artisans and small entrepreneurs. Methodologically, the work adopts a qualitative approach, articulating bibliographic research, analysis of the textile production chain, and case studies of architectural typologies focused on creative production. As design guidelines, the proposal prioritizes spatial flexibility, the valuation of cultural heritage through elements such as Richelieu embroidery, and the application of bioclimatic strategies, including the use of "cobogós" and central courtyard for thermal comfort. The result culminates in an integrated infrastructure that seeks to strengthen the local productive arrangement, promoting social agency
