Redes de museus em Porto Alegre: um estudo de caso em design territorial

Abstract

The context of globalization and new communication possibilities has affected cities, their identity and planning. The emptying of cities and the deterioration of central areas have attracted the interest of this research. Through territorial design, this research intends to study and identify opportunities to promote dynamics between social components and characteristics of Porto Alegre?s territory. In order to do that, it has considered the possibility of incentive from the city to its development and new socio-cultural processes from its Cultural Institutions working as a network. Thus, a Case Study has been carried out on the three major Cultural Institutions of Porto Alegre: Fundação Bienal do Mercosul, Fundação Iberê Camargo, and Santander Cultural. Its aim was to verify a possible networking among these institutions and its current relations with the Secretaria Municipal de Cultura (SMC) and the public. From the material collected and organized, an experiment was conducted through a design-oriented workshop, which allowed the crossing of information and presentation of project scenarios applied to the territory, according to the network model.
