Museu da Cultura em Cajazeiras-PB: arquitetura e memória.

Abstract

This work consists in the proposal of a Museum of Culture for the city of Cajazeiras - PB in a building of historical and architectural value. The museum is the connecting link of society with its culture and is the meaning which attributes value to equity and contributes to its appreciation. Faced with a scenario of neglect and neglect with the local historical heritage and the devaluation of Cajazeiro culture, the proposal to implant the museum in Casarão 263 seeks to rescue and spread the wealth of the city's culture and contribute to the conservation of memory built on the property. The work developed in two phases - one theoretical and one propositive - in the the process of human archeology conducted through interviews with Cajazeiras in order to verify which elements could be identified as part of the memory and thus guide the concept of the museum. The project puts the contemporary at the service of the ancient, dialoguing with the heritage in a harmonious way and conferring on the old Casarão a new social function consistent with its scale.
