Arquitetura Entrelinhas: Projeto de requalificação para a Biblioteca Municipal e Arquivo Municipal de Campina Grande.

Abstract

This work proposes the requalification of the historic buildings antiigo Grande Hotel and Palacete da Municipalidade, architectural icons of Campina Grande, to house the Municipal Library and the Public Archive. Inaugurated in 1942, these buildings played fundamental roles in the political and progressive context of the 20th century, symbolizing the city's progress and modernization. However, over time, they lost their original functions and underwent adaptation and decharacterization processes. The research aims to develop a preliminary intervention study, preserving the historical and architectural value of the buildings while promoting adaptive reuse for new cultural and educational purposes. The requalification seeks not only to restore the architectural characteristics of the buildings but also to enhance their relevance as part of the historical heritage and as dynamic spaces in the urban center of Campina Grande, contributing to the cultural revitalization of the area. The project is based on theoretical studies of heritage preservation, patrimonial letters, and the adaptive reuse of historic buildings, as well as spatial and architectural analyses of the structures. As a result, architectural solutions will be presented that connect the buildings to the urban landscape, promoting their value as spaces of memory and culture.
