Marechal Hermes Proletary Village: Proposed intervention in the urban-architectural
Urban conservation; Urban heritage; Proletarian Village.
This work presents an intervention proposal for the urban complex of the former
Proletarian Village Marechal Hermes, which was implemented in the early twentieth
century in the North Zone of the Rio de Janeiro city. This proposal is the result of three
stages of activities: one of survey and registration of the area, considering the
morphological and typological characteristics; another for diagnosis, evaluating the
problems and potentialities of the area in urban, architectural, landscape and urban
dynamics aspects; and the last is a project, reflecting the result obtained in the
previous stages and proposing solutions for the legislation, management and urban
intervention of the area, being adopted two squares of the village for the project
exercise.
