Rota turística de Maricá: proposta de folder promocional do patrimônio arquitetônico

Abstract

This research aims to highlight the architectural heritage of Maricá through the creation of a tourist route presented in a printed promotional brochure. The adopted methodology encompasses, initially, understanding the concept of heritage in Western society, identifying routes within the context of the ICOMOS Charter, and using cartographic maps as graphic tools to represent these routes. Subsequently, a mapping of the municipality’s historical buildings was carried out, with emphasis on six constructions of significance to the city’s history and development. To enrich the proposal, the material will include a graphical analysis of one of the selected heritage sites, applying Sandra Alvim’s (1999) methodology. This analysis will be digitally accessible via a QR Code embedded in the brochure. Among the mapped buildings, the Igreja Nossa Senhora do Amparo was chosen for its historical importance and serves as the focal point for the graphical analysis. The research relied on data collected from INEPAC archives, field surveys, photographic documentation, and bibliographic research on the heritage collection as a whole. As a result, this work seeks to valorize Maricá’s architectural heritage by offering an original material that combines historical and graphical analysis. In addition to strengthening the identity of the local heritage, it also demonstrates the applicability of Sandra Alvim’s method to the Igreja Nossa Senhora do Amparo.
