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...

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 management in architecture and construction: digital technologies, sustainability and professional training

Description: The present research aims to present changes in the design and execution process of works through the inclusion of new strategies made possible by digital technologies with an emphasis on the BIM Platform (Building Information Modeling). Such technologies involve procedures that go beyond the simple mastery of computational techniques but depend on skills to be developed during professional training, related to the ability to work collaboratively to develop integrated projects. The emphasis of the research accompanies the movement led by the Federal Government through the Str...

Project, Planning and Landscape

Coordinated by professor Andrea Rego, this research aims to study how social representations continuously build 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. In a specific way, it dedicates to the study of the construction of the landscape through discourse and form (construction of ideals and the imagery); planning as a cultural idealization and as a justification for investment vectors; informal manifestations as opposed to formal planning and teaching as a w...

Smarts Cities and Sustainability: the impact of the 4th Revolution in the management of architectural design

Description: Advances in information and communication technologies have led to changes in different sectors of the economy. Particularly in the construction industry, the possibilities to be explored in the development of buildings and cities projects are highlighted. The issue has been raising interest for the speed with which it proceeds, and for the urgency in identifying its main impacts. In this sense, incorporating the possibilities offered by new technologies to the practices of project management and coordination with environmental quality is one of the focuses of this research, with ...

Sound landscape, memory and culture

Coordinated by professor Andrea Rego. The project is developed in the field of the cultural landscape and covers urban studies and artistic representations, investigating the relationships that are established between the visible built landscape and the invisible soundscape of cities, aiming at the construction of sound memory. Its objects are the sound fragments of different representations of the past and the present - sounds of literary stories; sounds recorded in the city; recorded sounds of equipment and tools; sounds perceived in iconography; sounds of cinematography - which are his...

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...

Sustainable Water Management in Buildings

Coordinated by Professor Aline Verol. Much is being discussed today about sustainability, although there is often no precise definition around this concept and, mainly, its scope. Sustainable building projects are gaining ground in the technical literature and, in terms of plumbing and sanitary systems, there is a close relationship between sustainability and rational use of water, as a way to avoid periods of restriction with water scarcity and as a way to make it more economical, financially, the use of public water supply. However, in a systemic view, building, as a basic cell of urbanizati...

The architecture of contemporary city: new paramethers (accomplished)

This research involves analyzing the modes of production of contemporary architecture, based on the critique of contextualist urbanism. The research focuses on architectural and urban thinking identified with the parameters coined at the XIX UIA Congress, held in 1996 in the city of Barcelona.https://sucupira.capes.gov.br/sucupira/public/consultas/coleta/projetoPesquisa/viewProjetoPesquisa.jsf?popup=true&idProjeto=121700...

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

Coordinated by professor Maria Angela Dias, this project 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...

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...
