Solar Boa Vista o lugar e a memória

Abstract

This academic work has as main objective to present how memory and landscape are related in cities and how it is possible to evoke the feeling of identity for the recovery of degraded public spaces. The Solar Boa Vista Park, an important space in the city of Salvador, breathes the history and culture of the Boa Vista de Brotas neighborhood, but has suffered from abandonment in recent years. It was found that providing attractions is important, but when people do not appropriate spaces, they lose their strength in the urban environment. This relationship of appropriation is linked to the feeling of belonging, since when the individual starts to relate his story to the space in which he is inserted, to the context of the place, there is an identification and a need to become a participative and active agent , and no longer passive. The public space belongs to everyone, without exception, and its symbols and elements, when preserved, preserve the identity of a place and its transmission to future generations.
