Abstract

The research intends to evaluate the environments of a museum or a cultural space located in the metropolitan area of Sao Paulo, through methodological procedures of Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE). The evaluation will develop diagnoses based on technical visits, interviews and other interactions with users, and will establish, as far as possible, some guidelines of restoration, reform or readjustment of the building case study, with emphasis in expositive areas and supporting areas (bathrooms, resting areas, auditorium, outside areas and others) allowing also contributions (guidelines) address for learning musicological spaces with similar features.
