Projects for educative museums - FOP Unicamp building in Piracicaba

Abstract

This work has the proposal to re-qualify the central building of the College of Odontology in Piracicaba, and project outbuilding for a museum and laboratory that would host a bone collection, so that they can be studied and researched in human body works. This museum is open for studies by other Universities (from the whole world), which are interested in such subject. Methodology used: research about the needs program for the bone museum project, preparation of FOP old central building's diagnosis, historical elements identification, surveys with measurements and photographic surveys, preparation of the bone museum creation's proposal with outbuilding project, floor plans, sections and facades, Piracicaba's downtown area survey, project references. Resulting in the creation of the bone museum project and restructuring proposal of the FOP center building, keeping the "Dra. Grace H. Alvarez" Odontology Museum. Final considerations: This work assumed the laboratory and bone museum implementation. Both were part of some professors' desire, from that point the old building's re-qualification process began. The theoretical reference used for re-qualification was the Charter of Venice and the historian Camilo Boito. The old building usages were not modified, just adapted. The bone museum concept was established through the project references studied, and the garden was created for population enjoyment. The task to which it was desired outlined its shapes.
