Estudo da intervenção nas ruínas do antigo Trapiche Santo Antônio para uso como parte do Campus de Laranjeiras (UFS) utilizando técnicas de avaliação pós-ocupação

Abstract

The Cultural Heritage preservs, remembers and tells the story and the culture of a nation through its elements, be them material or immaterial. Thereby, understanding the importance of preserving such elements, the goal of this paper is to promote a study about the intervention performed by the Monumenta Program in the ruins of the old Trapiche Santo Antônio (TSA), one of the buildings located in the Quarteirão dos Trapiches and protected by the National Historic and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN) in the city of Laranjeiras – SE, today used as part of the Federal University of Sergipe as its campus, the Campuslar. The building was chosen as the focus of this paper for being one of the most used in the campus and being a fundamental part of the recovery project of the area. For the present study were used techniques of postoccupational assessment methodology (APO) in three of its categories: technical-constructive, environmental comfort and technical-functional comfort. For the environmental comfort category were considered parameters referring to the perception of its users. In the technicalconstructive category was used the technical vision of the author of this paper, when studied the materials and techniques employed in the original construction and in the interventionstudy, in addition to the analysis of its current conservation state. For the technical-functional category, two projects presented for the intervention were compared, considering technical parameters, the users vision and the most respected conservation and restoration theories found in the current literature. As the intervention-study has among its objectives the maintenance of the historical memory of Sergipe and, more specifically, of Laranjeiras, it was sought to understand the perception tho local residents about the fulfillment or not of such objective and of their use necessities for Campuslar. For the presentation and assessment of the data, the discovery matrix and the recommendations matrix were elaborated, also rooted in the APO and that aim to generate an initial diagnosis, although comprehensive, about the edification-study and use recommendations and maintenance for it and for the future similar interventions. Thereby, at the end of this paper, it was possible to conclude that the intervention had intermediate levels of evaluation by its users, failures of integration with the city and some design decisions not based on the literature related to the built heritage. However, it was also possible to assess the efficiency of the intervention in terms of providing a positive change for the development of the city and maintaining its historical memory.
