Gestão de Projetos em Arquitetura - GEPARQ

The discussion of the design and execution of buildings has been approached by different authors with a focus on the impact on the city, the ambience, the performance (behavior in use), the useful life and sustainability. It is understood that, in addition to these aspects, currently what is imposed on professionals who develop projects is the need to establish a different method of organization and management of the design process. It becomes necessary to review the schemes adopted so far to make interoperability between different design professionals feasible since the architectural concepti...

LabLugares

LabLugares is a research group in architecture and urbanism that addresses the theme of architecture and cities from a historical perspective on the construction of places and ideas, embodied in buildings and urban projects. This research space was born from the reading of cities through the door of health (BRESCIANI, 1992), considering the importance of articulating memories with a precise material base and place, and taking into account not only the ability to individual or group recall but memories eternalized in landscapes, monuments and documents (ABREU, 1996). In this sense, despite the ...

EES - Energia, Espaço e Sociedade

Think about the built environment is to reveal the systemic aspect of its analysis, deriving from multidisciplinary intercession and converging concepts of environmental comfort, distributed generation and energy efficiency. Environmental comfort is determined by the well-being of the user of the built environment and, regardless of the bioclimatic zone added to climate changes, its study becomes a generalized need, where the conditions of acclimatization of buildings result in an increase in energy demand, requiring adaptation, both to energy efficiency techniques and practices, as well as to...

Paisagens Híbridas

Hybrid Landscapes is an academic research platform affiliated with the School of Fine Arts | UFRJ. Its core concept is the idea of the Invented Landscape, which, in turn, considers the organic dynamics produced by the interaction between humans, culture, and nature. This interaction leads to the materialization and manifestation of hybrid actions upon the environment. It is precisely in the creation of these ambiences that we encounter a palimpsest, where the orders, scales, and dimensions of world-building enhance different shades of landscape design: real, imaginary, scenic, sonic, artistic,...
