Narrativas latino-americanas: um processo de legitimação internacional a partir de exposições

Este projeto, coordenado pela profa. Ana Paula Polizzo, busca discutir o processo de visibilização e legitimação institucional da arquitetura contemporânea latino-americana nos centros hegemônicos da cultura mundial, buscando compreender assim, os diferentes discursos (sejam eles institucionais ou curatoriais) que moldaram o olhar estrangeiro em direção a essa produção arquitetônica. Procura, assim, abranger um campo amplo de possibilidades de pesquisa sobre a produção discursiva de arquitetos, intelectuais, críticos, historiadores atuantes junto a instituições de grande abrang...

Conceituar a iluminação com base nos princípios da iluminação integrativa, que envolve as necessidades de conforto visual, as questões biológicas (luz e o ciclo c...

O Ambiente Construído no Contexto das Mudanças Climáticas e de uma Economia Circular

Neste projeto coordenado pelo Prof. Lucas Rosse Caldas, as mudanças climáticas podem ser consideradas um dos principais desafios da humanidade, fazendo-nos questionar sobre o processo de produção vigente, que é essencialmente linear, que leva à exaustão dos recursos naturais e geração de grande quantidade de resíduos e impactos ambientais negativos. Neste contexto, a busca por construções mais sustentáveis só será possível se forem considerados os gases causadores e os efeitos adversos das mudanças climáticas e o uso de estratégias pautadas em uma economia circular. O presen...

O uso de infraestrutura verde e azul no manejo das águas pluviais urbanas como tecnologia para o desenvolvimento sustentável com vistas a cidades resilientes

Projeto coordenado pela profa. Dra. Aline Veról. A expansão das áreas urbanas e a pressão sobre o uso do solo alteraram as funções ecológicas e ecossistêmicas do ambiente. Estratégias de adaptação como o uso de infraestrutura verde e azul podem reduzir os efeitos negativos das ações antrópicas, além de proporcionarem benefícios para a saúde e a qualidade de vida da população. Essas estratégias podem destacar-se como alternativas mais sustentáveis, econômicas, multifuncionais e flexíveis em comparação com as soluções tradicionais. Este projeto de pesquisa visa pr...

PERFORMANCE | Dialogue between Building Geometry and Environmental Performance

This project coordinated by professor Aline Calazans, is an umbrella project and focuses on the investigation of form and its geometry in a constant and dialectical relationship with performance in the scope of Architecture and Urbanism. The research proposes to continue the work developed so far, specifically contributing to two new joint research fronts: (i) integration of descriptive geometry with parametric tools in a manner incorporated into teaching and applied to the field of architecture knowledge; (ii) investigation of environmental performance associated with the shape of polyhe...

Places of Memory of Health

Coordinated by professor Ana Amora. It is a broad project, in several stages and themes, which encompasses the studies and activities that we have been developing since before the doctorate, within the scope of activities at UFSC and, currently, together with UFRJ. Among the objectives: to see the continuity of the sanitary perspective in the ordering of cities between the years of 1920 and 1945; understand the academic environment of the ENBA architecture course, then the National Faculty of Architecture FNA and, finally, the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at UFRJ-FAU; to raise and know...

Post-Occupation Assessment and Place Quality: ANALYSIS AND RE-READING OF INSTRUMENTS FOR FIELD RESEARCH

The Research Groups Environment-Education (GAE) and Quality of Place and Landscape (ProLUGAR) have been developing teaching and research activities related to the applicability of concepts, methods and instruments that allow incorporating human-environment interactions produced during the observation experience in a Post-Occupancy Assessment. The conceptual and methodological approach that has characterized the researches of the Groups, proposes the re-reading and the re-signification of the classic techniques and instruments of an APO, expanding the concept and the perception of the quality o...

Processos Construtivos em Territórios Populares

Este projeto de pesquisa concentra-se em dois objetivos distintos: (1) o reconhecimento dos saberes construtivos em territórios populares: como são tomadas as decisões construtivas – escolha dos materiais e técnicas construtivas, bem como o planejamento e a gestão da obra; e (2) produção de tecnologias construtivas alternativas, com vantagens econômicas e ecológicas, que possam ser aplicadas nestes territórios. O objetivo da primeira frente de pesquisa é a compreensão detalhada de como acontece o processo construtivo das casas em territórios populares, particularmente no conjunt...

Project, Planning and Landscape

The research aims to study how social representations continually construct and transform landscapes, in particular: urban planning and design; the design and construction of large architectural objects and the design and construction of works of art. Specifically, it is dedicated to the study of: the construction of landscape through discourse and form (construction of ideals and imagery); planning as a cultural idealization and as a justification for investment vectors; informal manifestations as opposed to formal planning and teaching as a way of constructing thinking about urban and landsc...

Soundscape, memory and culture

The research is developed in the Graduate Program in Architecture (PROARQ) of the School of Architecture and Urbanism of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (FAUUFRJ) within the scope of the Project and Environmental Representation (proAMB) CNPq Group. It addresses the cultural relations that are established between the visible built landscape and the invisible soundscape of cities, aiming to demonstrate the importance of sounds in the qualification and identification of urban spaces and in the construction of a collective memory. It is dedicated to the development of the creation of new ...

Subjective and cultural dimension of ambiances: ethnopopographic tools in architecture and urbanism

Coordinated by the professors Ethel Pinheiro and Cristiane Rose Duarte. The study of Ambiances, seen as man-environment-culture interaction, is extremely important for the democratization of cities, since it contributes to the density of the analysis of urban scenarios and emphasizes the role of cultural practices in cities. Based on the assumption of valuing micro and small scales of living and urban centralities, this research seeks to understand the importance of sensitive experiences in the construction of citizens' feelings and meanings of belonging. Hand-to-hand in the city, being with t...

Sustainability and Innovation in Materials and Construction Systems for the Building Project

This multidisciplinary project, coordinated by Professor Marcos Silvoso, aims to add skills to promote the sustainable development of building materials and construction systems for building design. It also seeks to assess the performance of residential buildings, with reference to NBR 15575, in aspects related to sustainability, environmental comfort, structural performance, useful life and its relationship with the building design and production process. An extremely important industry for the country, civil construction is currently responsible for a large part of the consumption of raw mat...

The education of the gaze: apprehension of the geometric attributes of the shape of places

The research introduces the education of the gaze as a strategy for the understanding of architectural forms characterizing the volumetry of the physical space (architectural, urban and landscape), through polyhedra and their relationships. The investigation of the form, in this sense, interacts with the knowledge produced by other research groups that work in PROARQ. The objective of this project is to produce animations, manipulable three-dimensional visualizations, models and to gather in a publication, of a didactic nature, the set of theoretical and methodological references to be applied...

The garden-form and landscape architecture: socio-spatial practices and cultural hybridities

The garden shape expresses ideas and plays different roles in the landscape. It mixes, associates and hybridizes the environment, culture and art. It materializes in space through objects and actions that align themselves through uses, functions, symbols of all kinds, thus revealing the idea of ​​place. The garden-form is distinguished when nature is previously framed, and it designs scenarios of specific scales, different ambiences and different styles that, in addition to creating places, leave marks that penetrate, one by one, in the different layers of history. The material and immater...
