Orientador: Rosío Fernández Baca Salcedo / Banca: Rosio Fernandez Baca Salcedo / Banca: Nilson Ghiraldello / Banca: Marcelo Zarate / Resumo: Os trens são reconhecidos como patrimônio cultural pela população bauruense, e o pátio ferroviário da cidade, tombado pelo CODEPAC e em Estudo de Tombamento pelo CONDEPHAAT (Conselhos municipal e estadual, respectivamente), está sem previsão de políticas, programas ou projetos públicos de salvaguarda de seu patrimônio, com suas edificações degradadas e abandonadas. Apesar dessa situação de descaso, o complexo da Companhia Estrada de Ferro Noroeste do Brasil - CEFNOB (nosso estudo de caso) continua sendo considerado um dos melhores e mais completo exemplar de pátio ferroviário da América Latina. Muitas pesquisas na temática da ferrovia, e da Noroeste em particular, já foram desenvolvidas, entretanto, as diversas informações e resultados produzidos ainda não foram sistematizados, analisados e interpretados conjuntamente. No intuito de começar a se pensar em uma maneira de reintegrar o complexo ferroviário ao cenário urbano, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo testar se o reconhecimento do código genético do patrimônio, a partir de suas articulações socioeconômicas, simbólicas, de identidade e memória, é necessário para intervenção no complexo ferroviário da Estrada de Ferro Noroeste do Brasil (EFNOB); e, propor diretrizes urbanas sustentáveis para sua reintegração ao cenário urbano. A metodologia compreende seis etapas, sendo a primeira uma abordagem teórica sobre o patrimônio industrial ferroviário; sobre lugar, cultura e memória; métodos de intervenção; e, urbanismo ambiental.

I have always claimed that places are stronger than people, the fixed scene stronger than the transitory succession of events. This is the theoretical basis not of my Architecture, but of Architecture itself. / Master of Architecture

The purpose of this thesis is to examine the possibilities for the revitalization of an abandoned railroad station and to derive from the project significant issues and strategies which can be applied to any reuse project. / Master of Architecture

M. Tech. Architecture (Professional) / This dissertation deals with the exploration of turning a distant memory into a functional reality. The project focuses on architecture's potential to connect. The aim of the design proposal is to re-establish the programmatic exchange and confluence of commuters between South Africa and Mozambique on the so-called Eastern Railway Line. The proposed site (Mbombela Train Station) forms a comprehensive construct of history and decay. Currently, the site hosts an almost forgotten domestic train station, numerous unused office buildings and sheds. Established in 1895 as a railhead, it occasioned the development of Nelspruit (now known as Mbombela). The project investigates the typology of the train station: the spatiality and materiality of the current Eastern railway line prompts the architectural response. As a result, heritage incorporates and complements the vernacular (universal) language of the coalesced commuter. The proposed programme explores the threshold between the commuter and the city. The perceived spatial permanence of the platform mediates arrival and departure. An international railway station to act as a gateway between Mbombela and Maputo is thus proposed.

The railroad depot has played an integral role in countless towns and cities throughout the state of Indiana and in other regions of the nation. In many communities, the depot served as the local newsstand, post office, and social gathering place. A community’s railroad depot was a symbol of pride, which was evident by the significant level of architectural detail found in these transportation edifices. Over the course of the past fifty years, a vast majority of these architectural gems have fallen into disrepair, or worse, been demolished because it was believed that the depot could no longer fulfill a viable role in a post-railroad oriented society. There have been multiple efforts to rehabilitate the railroad depot by both the private and public sectors. Although many efforts have been made, there are still numerous historic depots throughout Indiana that are in need of assistance and in danger of being razed. Therefore, this thesis investigates the role of the depot in Indiana towns and cities today by looking at different rehabilitation projects that have successfully saved the railroad depot and transformed it once again into an active member of the local community. / History of the railroad industry in Indiana -- Development of the railroad depot in Indiana -- Literature review on railroad depot rehabilitation -- Methodology for case studies -- Depot rehabilitation case studies -- Conclusion. / Department of Architecture
