Requalificação da Praça Virgílio Rodrigues da Cunha.

Abstract

The present work proposes the requalification of Virgílio Rodrigues da Cunha Square, located in the northern part of the city of Uberlândia / MG, which seeks improvements, based on the readjustment of the existing open space in order to contribute to its surroundings. Thus, five sectors of the city of Uberlândia were analyzed, and from this analysis the demand for open public spaces in the Pacaembu Neighborhood - North Zone is identified. In addition, we searched the origins and history of the plazas, three case studies were carried out, bringing references that added to the project, reaffirming the need to value places as such. As a result, this proposal intends to present the use of social design as landscaping, proposing a new layout for the square, working new ideas of floor pagination, vegetation, fountains, lighting, furniture among others. These are important aspects that may add socio-cultural values to the local population.
