Proposta de requalificação do Grande Hotel de Uberaba: Uma contribuição do design de interiores na preservação do patrimônio.

Abstract

The proposal for the redevelopment of the Grande Hotel and Cine Metrópole in Uberaba, developed as a graduation project, aims to revitalize a historic and abandoned complex. The project seeks to restore the building’s Art Deco architectural style, which symbolized modernity at the time of its construction in the 1940s, preserving historical and cultural elements. The objective is to reactivate the space as a hotel center, while the former cinema will be transformed into an event hall.

The intervention respects cognitive, aesthetic, and emotional values, aligning with the preservation of collective memory and promoting local tourism. The proposal uses biophilic design to integrate natural elements into the interior and improve users' quality of life. Inspired by references to other renovated historic buildings, the redevelopment maintains classic features, such as wood and marble, while incorporating contemporary elements to meet modern demands.
