Intenção e projeto na arquitetura de Fábio Penteado: análise de três projetos teatrais

The article seeks to understand the work of the architect Fábio Moura Penteado (1929-2011) from the correspondence between intention and project, through the analysis of three theatrical projects: the Theater of Piracicaba (1960), the Opera Theater of Campinas (1966), and the Center for Cultural Coexistence of Campinas (1967-1968). Conceived throughout the 1960s, these theaters demonstrate the process of defining and consolidating his architectural intentionality, from which derives the main design strategies that characterize his works. In considering intentions as the basis of the interpretation, the analysis of the three objects selected looks at the internal coherence of the general work. It also takes into account the statements of the architect to check the validity of the projects through the exemplarity of the projects. The text investigates the relations between the conceptual premises of Penteado and the final results of the project, intermediated by the definition of its own design methodology. In this sense, it seeks to understand the dialogues established between the human diversity that his projects seek to represent and the architectural polyvalence they present; between community coexistence and the integration of architecture with the city; between creating access to urban services and equipment and architectural spontaneity; between the stimulus to popular participation and the representativeness contained in the architecture; between the search for creating urban bonds of identification and the expressiveness of the architectural form.
