Industrial revitalization proposal in Blumenau – SC / Brazil

Abstract

Many Brazilian traditional industrial buildings are, at present, abandoned, because of the industrial crises and the generalized procedures of sub hiring new smaller companies, with the aim to transfer the work responsibilities. In the sense of trying not to lose this heritage, the revitalization of the industrial complex of the Hering Company (Brazilian company textile that exports towards many countries) is considered. Since the reform of buildings of different periods and great architectonic value for the promotion of visitation of industrials sectors that remains in activity, the Complex of the Textile Memory of Blumenau works the urban set, reaffirming its insertion in the natural atmosphere that means the traditional way of space appropriation so characteristic of Germanics immigrants.
