SUMMARY:

The historic site of Cuó, located in the city of Caicó/RN, comprises the archaeological
ruins of two pre-existing buildings: Casa Forte do Cuó (Cuó’s fort house) and the first Capela
de Santana (Santana’s Chapel). With constructions whose records date from the end of the 17th
century, they are considered the first post-colonization buildings erected in the region today
understood as the Potiguar Seridó. Although much visited, mainly due to the visuals provided
by the geography of the site and the traditional sunset, Cuó is still little recognized for its
historical importance. In this context, the main objective of this work is to conceive an
intervention project for the ruins of Cuó, aiming at the protection of pre-existence, the
strengthening of its protagonism and symbolism inside the site and the insertion of equipment
that provide a social and dynamic use. As a final product, an preliminary project is presented,
accompanied by a technical report, which approach all the stages that were crucial for the
project design exercise: theoretical and conceptual references; physical and historical survey of
the ruins; study of previous projects; conditioning study; architectural programming;
preliminary study and the description of the preliminary project. Furthermore, at the same time
that it analyzes and defines interventionist postures in the built patrimony, especially in terms
of design decisions and guidelines, the project proposes the use of constructive techniques and
materials from the vernacular architecture of Seridó as a way of reinforcing and enhancing the
local identity
