Pinot Restaurante e Adega: arquitetura multissensorial afetiva

Abstract

THIS WORK PROPOSES THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF AN AFFECTIVE MULTISENSORY RESTAURANT AND WINE CELLAR IN THE CITY OF CABEDELO, BRAZIL, GROUNDED IN PHENOMENOLOGICAL THOUGHT AND MULTISENSORY ARCHITECTURE. THE RESEARCH BUILDS ON PALLASMAA’S (2005) CRITIQUE OF THE DOMINANCE OF VISION IN CONTEMPORARY CULTURE AND MERLEAUPONTY’S (1945) UNDERSTANDING OF PERCEPTION AS AN EMBODIED ACT IN WHICH ALL SENSES CONVERGE IN THE CONSTITUTION OF LIVED SPACE. WITHIN THIS FRAMEWORK, ARCHITECTURE IS CONCEIVED AS A MEDIATOR OF SENSITIVE AND AFFECTIVE EXPERIENCES, CAPABLE OF INTENSIFYING THE INDIVIDUAL’S PRESENCE IN THE “HERE AND NOW” AND GENERATING LASTING MEMORIES. THE THEORETICAL FOUNDATION ALSO ENCOMPASSES PRINCIPLES SUCH AS BIOMIMICRY, POSITIONING NATURE AS A GUIDING ELEMENT IN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND AS A PROMOTER OF WELL-BEING. THE ADOPTED METHODOLOGY INCLUDED BIBLIOGRAPHIC REVIEW, ANALYSIS OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CORRELATES, ASSESSMENT OF LOCAL CONSTRAINTS, AND BIOCLIMATIC SIMULATIONS. AS A RESULT, THE PROJECT PROPOSES A GASTRONOMIC SPACE THAT INTEGRATES WINE, NATURE, AND ARCHITECTURE AS MULTISENSORY EXPERIENTIAL ELEMENTS, FOSTERING AFFECTIVE BONDS AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE ENHANCEMENT OF CULTURAL AND GASTRONOMIC TOURISM IN CABEDELO, BRAZIL
