Built heritage, Fire Safety, Seridó Museum, architectural intervention

Faced with the difficult that buildings of historical interest face in order to be approved by agencies such as the fire department, as they require, in most cases, the performance of some physical interventions to meet the minimum fire safety conditions, the present work of professional master´s qualification, consisting of a technical report and a technical project of architectural intervention, has as study the suitability of the building of the Seridó Museum located in the city of Caicó/RN aiming at Fire Safety. The choice of theme was due to the proximity of the professional practice exercised by the author in the project sector of the infrastructure superintendence of UFRN and the real demand to adapt the referred building in order to meet the current needs of the museum. The research has as main objective the development of a preliminary project to adapt the architecture of the Seridó Museum with the launch of fire safety measures in this type of built heritage, with the specific objectives of using the Rio Grande Fire and Panic Safety Code do Norte and its Technical Instructions to represent a reality of the project and identify the possibilities and difficulties imposed by this type of building, wishing to meet the above-mentioned regulations and observe the recommendations of interventions proposed by the Instituto do Patrimônio Histórico e Artístico Nacional – IPHAN meeting the fire and panic requirements in the environment under study. To develop the project, a theoretical-conceptual deepening on the subject was initially carried out, through bibliographic research and studies of design references (precedent or related). Then, the architectural program was developed. From this base, and with the help of the curricular components of the course, the design process was gradually developed and mapped, through different forms of registration, from the initial stages of studies of constraints, conception and development of the architectural party. The results achieved consist of the proposed intervention for the construction of the Seridó Museum in order to meet fire safety standards and the guidelines recommended by IPHAN.
