Abstract

The main objective of the course completion work in Architecture and Urbanism is to prepare an architectural proposal for a marine biology museum and research center in São Luís (MA). To support this proposal, it is essential to provide a solid theoretical foundation, in addition to studying relevant references. The research will address the importance of studying marine biology for society, the marine species found on the Brazilian and Maranhão coasts, the educational benefits of the museum and its impact on local tourism. Similar developed projects will also be analyzed as a basis for the intervention proposal. The work will include a stage of preliminary study of the museum and research center, considering the lack of a similar institution in the city of São Luís. This phase will include the analysis of legal regulations related to the chosen land in the São Marcos neighborhood, study of the surroundings by through photographic survey, analysis of bioclimatic conditions, definition of the needs program, preparation of flowcharts and sectorization. This step is essential to enable the development of the architectural proposal presented.
