ASSUMPTIONS

The project’s fundamental assumptions are:

– balance conservation and innovation;
– assure the monument its original integrity and prepare it for the future, for the demands of next generations;
– recognition of the cultural and historical value of the building, which was built in 1931 as a symbolic landmark of the socioeconomic and cultural reality of the Santa Catarina Plateau;
– innovation and sustainability, to represent the new moment of economic and cultural awakening that the Lages City currently lives.

VEHICLES

Vehicle accesses were carefully thought within the urban context, including according to the street flow directions. By Hercílio Luz Street, we will have access to loading and unloading, with the dock located in the east wing of the building, and accesses for bicycles through the bike path connected to the main points of the city. At Monte Castelo Street, in the west, we will have access to motorcycles for parking at ground level and car’s accesses to the parking of 50 spaces in underground, taking advantage of the street slope in relation to the market building and descending only two meters. Manoel da Silva Ramos Street, in front of the Market main entrance, will only have one lane for vehicles with restricted access, aiming the necessary access of street residents to their residential garages.

PEOPLE

The permanence in the public space and social integration will be encouraged through the external covered area in front of the Market. With most of Manoel da Silva Ramos Street being destined for pedestrians and concomitantly to outdoor fairs, a new activation of cultural and social life of Lages City will take place in the intervention’s context of the Public Market. In the same way, the activation of the lot back area at the ground level with the implementation of a Café, will enable this social integration of population. The Market internal flows aims at efficiency and simplification with well defined axes through the functional blocks.

SECTORS

The Banking Products Sector is the central and most comprehensive functional area of the program, integrating the two main wings of the building. The east wing is constituted by the Cultural Sector and Support and Logistics Sector, fulfilling its functions next the dock and load and discharge area. The west wing consists of Food Square Sector, appropriating the marked corner space of this area, and with access by stairs and elevator to second floor, where is the Administrative Sector. The distribution of sectors in the building was done through the basic principles of daily functions operation and services sheltered in it, respecting the inherent conditions of each task.
