ORG.ÂNICA

Maranguape holds a historical agricultural community that’s been reducing on the lasts decades, making small rural communities each year more depended on the food industry. ORG.ÂNICA gives a restructuration of the city and its economy, with an agricultural center on a historical site, providing local opportunities and community engagement.

Maranguape came as a city of strong participation in the agricultural production of the metropolitan region, but with the problem of low visibility by the municipality itself, which currently entails a dependence on equipment and sales in the municipality of Fortaleza. ORG.ÂNICA's proposal was based on the scarcity of public spaces that encourage knowledge and deepening of agriculture in the state of Ceará and the encouragement of the rural and decentralized economy of the capital. The search for a municipality in which there would be an express agricultural population in the state and city of Fortaleza and a commitment to local residents and farmers for the emergence of a similar project starts. The plan seeks to create an environment of mixed use, both for public space and for commercial and private use, where the fluidity and permeability of public spaces is a fundamental point, characterize the creation of the organic. The connections established between the terrain under study and its surroundings provide the use of two access roads and the connection to the bus station, where a large flow of pedestrians and a point of commercial relevance can be found. The balance of the determining factors for the design of a place with diverse economic and social functions also comes as a result. The operation of all equipment is correlated, thus ensuring an economic exchange, encouraging the consumption of their own products and the use of services as such as balanced maintenance of them. ORG.ÂNICA, besides having a focus on strengthening the agricultural worker, also seeks an approach to the tourist relationship for the municipality of Maranguape. Thus, together with other gastronomic equipment, such as the Ypióca cachaça museum, and of strong heritage in the municipality, such as the city center, it seeks the creation of a tourist route, an incentive to tourism entering the historic interior of Ceará.
