Técnicas construtivas as vernaculares e a arquitetura comercial: uma proposta de um estudo preliminar arquitetônico para loja de varejo alimentício em Barrerinhas – MA

Abstract

Supermarkets are spaces designed to display different food categories for unit sale. This type of building is divided into typologies that depend on the variety of product offered and the size of the sales area. Concomitantly, vernacular architecture and building technique is a type of architecture that uses resources available in the place where the building will be implanted, becoming a local architecture that relates well to the cultural and geographical conditions of the space, creating a singular building. This type of building is widely seen in houses and schools, but it is still not approached enough in other typologies. In this context, this review bids to elaborate a preliminary architectural study of a food retail store in the city of Barreirinhas, Maranhão, creating a space that meets its function in order to make good use of the regionality in which it is inserted. The study was developed with the following steps: bibliographic research, reading of the local context, diagnosis of the building sit and development of a preliminary architectural study. It is understood that vernacular architecture can and should be used as a resource to bring retail activity closer to local contexts.
