Architecture, city and memory: old trails, new paths. Requalification of the são francisco railway station - Alagoinhas / BA
San Francisco Station. Alagoinhas. Restoration and Conservation. Industrial Patrimony.
The San Francisco Railway Station in Alagoinhas is part of the degradation scenario that the railway stations of Bahia are in. This building of great representativeness was responsible for the process of occupation and development of the region, dynamization of the economic cycle and social movements. Its disuse due to the obsolescence of the Bahia rail transport, as well as the difficulty to readaptate new uses, clearly jeopardizes the integrity of this asset by compromising its historical, artistic and cultural record for future generations, in this way, the present work presents a proposal for requalification of this building restoring its importance to society. For that, a cadastral survey of space, diagnosis of its pathologies, restorative solutions and finally the architectural design with a contemporary reading in dialogue with the preexistence was carried out.
