Memory of urban avenue Dom Severino: analysis of buildings

Abstract

This is a PIBIC / CNPq research conducted by the Department of Construction and Architecture of the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI). This work began in 2010, after observing the changes taking place in the east side of town. At the time, this work has the participation of three fellows, who divide their shares for different data collection fields. The aim of this study is to analyze the impact caused by the construction of the cablestayed bridge in the urban setting Avenue Dom Severino. The avenue had its use and its dimensions changed abruptly, causing a heavy flow and an incipient planning to absorb such changes. The first step consisted in defining the area to be examined, that was the stretch of the avenue Dom Severino, located between the avenues Our Lady of Fatima and Homer White Castle. Established this area, we set off for making a layout of the facades profile. In parallel, we looked at the bodies of the prefecture and the SDU-Leste (Superintendence of Urban Development), responsible for the information of the properties of this pathway, data on the types of use of the buildings. Concocted up a database for entering information about the real estate, as to whether or not reform, and the extent of these reforms. We tought information about the ownership of the houses, and the subsequent negotiations that transformed residential use in a commercial. In parallel we looked at the information on the cable-stayed bridge and the process of eviction of the land were privately owned and that after the construction of the bridge had to be negotiated to incorporate the same.
