Praça do Tocantins

Abstract

This paper presents an architectural proposal for a residence in the Tocantins Complex Food Court, located in the Chapada neighborhood of Manaus, Amazonas. Renamed simply Tocantins Square, the project encompasses the practical functions of a square, focusing on the basic premise of urban drainage. The program seeks to integrate the uses of the space, promoting infrastructure for commerce, leisure, sports, and community life in the neighborhood by creating an entrance axis on Dr. Theomario Pinto da Costa Avenue, facilitating walkability throughout the neighborhood. The construction phases are based on reducing material waste, respecting vegetation, and increasing permeable areas and shaded areas.
