Abstract
SILVA CORREIA, Beatriz; CORREA DA SILVA, Maclovia and SPINAL, Wendy Patricia. Sustainable retrofit and cultural spaces. Arquitectura y Urbanismo [online]. 2014, vol.35, n.2, pp. 86-92. ISSN 1815-5898.
This article treats of architectural interventions on patrimonial buildings from the industrial and transportation origin, transformed in cultural spaces. The retrofit was chosen as the adequate methodology for the analysis of these old buildings, without forgetting the potentialities of the new technologies, sustainability and memory. The efficiency of the method application was illustrated by the Julio Prestes Railroad Station, at São Paulo city, Brazil. The study helped to amplify the knowledge in the fields of architecture and engineering, using the retrofit to preserve the original concept of the buildings, recovering the vitality of those places.
Keywords : retrofit; cultural patrimony; São Paulo; architecture; memory.
