_The new Quituart

_Description

Graduation project

Year: 2019

Information:

This work refers to the design of a gastronomic complex for Brasília, offering the city another option for food, entertainment and culture. Quituart’s story began 28 years ago, with 4 women selling food and crafts to the residents of Lago Norte. They decided to get together and create a cooperative called Quituart. The cooperative grew, took shape and became known in the city. Today Quituart does not fit into the space in which it finds itmself. It is necessary to expand in order to continue growing. Bearing in mind that sustainability is to build thinking about the future, this project was developed in a neglected place on the shore of Lake Paranoá that needs to be occupied in order to become really public and to be enjoyed. The project proposes a wide space, completely open and in contact with nature. The structure is not only functional, but also aesthetic and bioclimatic. The curve of the roof reflects the slope of the topography of the land and helps air circulation. The pillars follow the roof design, symbolizing the union, a word so present in the history of Quituart. Under the structure, the complex occurs freely on two floors, giving the viewer a total view of Lake Paranoá and Parque das Garças.
