Elaboração de um guia para análise sistematizada do espaço físico de um Centro de Tradições Gaúchas

Abstract

The centers of gaucho traditions, entities of paramount importance for the maintenance of the cultural identity and sociological heritage of Rio Grande do Sul, have faced difficulties with regard to their physical spaces. This work aims to elaborate a guide with the main constructive aspects that are present in constructions or renovations of traditionalist entities, helping them to comply with legal procedures and the comfort of users, without losing what characterizes them as centers of traditions. After surveying the possible alternatives and current circumstances of these environments, personally and using a 3D modeling of the building in the Autodesk Revit software, the most unfavorable situation of a traditionalist entity in Santa Maria (RS), the Centro de Pesquisas Folclóricas Piá do Sul, was listed as the entity’s rehearsal room, due to the adversities faced due to the lack of acoustic isolation of its structure and the function of the hall, in which artistic groups rehearse daily. Acoustic measurements were made to verify how sound waves dispersed in this environment. Acoustic measurements showed problems with sound insulation and sound clarity of the hall. It is also considered that traditionalist entities can have more elaborate environments with more modern and appropriate materials, as long as they also have their own rustic, traditional and intimate space. Finally, the guide The Physical Space of Traditionalist Entities was prepared in Microsoft Office Excel software, in checklist format, with a series of steps to be followed by leaders of traditionalist entities
