NATIONAL PARK DESIGN AND A SET OF EQUIPMENTS FOR THE SURVIVAL OF THE CAIÇARA TRADITIONAL CULTURE.
Originated from the miscegenation between indigenous fishermen and Portuguese settlers 300 years ago, the Caiçara’s communities have been adapting their cultural heritage to the needs and existing inputs of the environment, resulting in a specific way of living. The Caiçaras live in geographically isolated settlements between the mountains and the sea of Rio de Janeiro southern and São Paulo northern coasts. Taking into account the recent alterations in territorial zoning and the expansion of urban culture in disfavor of traditional villages, Caiçaras Territories proposes a set of design strategies that express those transformations and function as mediators of these cultural conflicts.
