Perman��ncias e perspectivas no ensino de projeto de arquitetura no Brasil: uma an��lise a partir da produ����o cient��fica dos Semin��rios UFRGS (1985) e Projetar (2003-2011)

O objeto de estudo desta tese �� o ensino de projeto de arquitetura no contexto acad��mico brasileiro. O trabalho procura analisar esse objeto nos aspectos relativos ao ensinar a fazer e ao aprender a fazer , por meio de uma perspectiva epistemol��gica e cognitiva, a partir da produ����o cient��fica dos Semin��rios UFRGS (1985) e Projetar (2003-2011) sob o olhar de tr��s estados constitutivos: conserva����o, perman��ncia e transforma����o. A metodologia de investiga����o �� qualitativa e seus pressupostos s��o investigad os por meio do m��todo hipot��tico-dedutivo em busca de um conhecimento aproximativo. Dentro do universo pesquisado, as hip��teses conduzem: primeiro, �� investiga����o e caracteriza����o de estruturas que se conservam; segundo, �� investiga����o e levantamento de valores e conceitos que permanecem adequados por sua capacidade de adapta����o ��s mudan��as e paradigmas; e, terceiro, por procurarem destacar pr��ticas pedag��gicas que indicam novos caminhos na maneira de agir e de se pensar o ensino de projeto de arquitetura. A pesquisa demonstrou que, embora em menores propor����es, ainda se conservam a����es e posturas pedag��gicas que: valorizam os ideais funcionalistas e racionalistas da arquitetura; adotam posturas deterministas, caminhos prescritivos ou intuitivos no ensino da concep����o arquitetural; n��o apresentam clareza metodol��gica na abordagem da problem��tica arquitet��nica; os contextos urbanos s��o pouco explorados na experimenta����o; utilizam um sistema de concep����o baseado em princ��pios est��ticos can��nicos e universais, sem problematizar as causas da transforma����o da arquitetura contempor��nea e qual o seu papel numa sociedade complexa e diversificada. Com rela����o ��s novas perspectivas encontradas, a an��lise da produ����o cient��fica demonstrou que a pr��tica pedag��gica do ensino de projeto de arquitetura no Brasil passa por transforma����es cr��ticas valiosas. Essa constata����o foi percebida, por meio, tamb��m, de reflex��es e de pr��ticas pedag��gicas que valorizam a integra����o de conte��dos; que possuem um discurso cr��tico e conciliador com rela����o �� necessidade de renova����o de pr��ticas, paradigmas, meios e conte��dos; que est��o abertas ��s posturas cooperativas e ��s estrat��gias para a constitui����o de um corpo te��rico-pr��tico para o ensino do projeto que n��o se limite ao campo da arquitetura; que reconhecem a import��ncia das novas tecnologias computacionais na concep����o projetual e no ensino do projeto, assim como, as tecnologias e estrat��gias que atualizam as solu����es projetuais no uso adequado dos recursos ambientais; que consideram o espa��o acad��mico como um lugar prop��cio para as experi��ncias projetuais e pedag��gicas; que manifestam um esfor��o em considerar a participa����o do usu��rio, assim como em realizar um processo de apreens��o de contextos complexos como objeto de estudo, adotando uma postura de valoriza����o do processo projetual. O trabalho conclui que a educa����o do arquiteto deve estar atenta aos aspectos relativos �� inclus��o da realidade sociocultural e ambiental como refer��ncia para o fazer arquitetural em detrimento da primazia dada �� racionalidade t��cnica, uma vez que essa realidade permite a media����o, entre o ser e o mundo , como uma estrat��gia que supera qualquer antecipa����o program��tica e viabiliza a transforma����o e a constru����o do pr��prio ser e do mundo . Assim, se o aprender fazendo �� necess��rio para a forma����o do arquiteto, que esse fazer seja refletido e retroalimente a pr��tica

�� ensinando que se aprende: um estudo sobre o ensino de projeto no Curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (CAU UFRN)

You cannot teach architectonic design, but only learn it. This sentence was, during some decades, especially during the modernism, the starting point, adopted by several architectonic design professors, when they had to approach their subject. An attitude that, some years ago, was reviewed and fighted by area s experts. This paper join this criticism, and try to add something to the pre-existing discussion, analyzing with the case-study method all the subjects related with architectonic design of the Architecture and Urbanism degree, at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte CAU/UFRN . The aim is to identify and analyze the teaching methodologies used by the professors and their effects related to the students. To reach this purpose four different methods were used: i) Professors interviews; ii) Different forms submitted to students and professors; iii) Daily practice s observation, developed during classes; iv) Documents analysis about the degree (historical development and subjects) and about the subjects themselves (summaries, table of contents and planning). Studying the results, it was possible to underline that, in spite of the efforts of some of the professors to find a way to teach with more appropriate educational and pedagogic bases, some of the teaching methodologies, criticized in articles dealing with the matter, were still used. With regard to these, the research pointed out some suggestions that could help to improve the teaching and learning process, joining professors and students that are the most important subjects of the teaching activity. Developing the idea living in the paper s title Teaching and learning , it s now clear that only the practice, through the improvement of the pedagogic techniques, together with critical analysis can help the professors to reach a relationship level, regarding the teaching and learning process, as that described in the epigraph s text, into which teaching and learning, can t be done only by one of the process subject, but must be lived by both of them: professors and students

Projeto em ��reas Consolidadas de Patrim��nio Cultural: Propostas para a Constru����o de uma Metodologia de Ensino

Le th��me du patrimoine culturel architectural et urbain continue d avoir une place importante dans le milieu technique et scientifique. Le concept s est ��largi et aujourd hui comprend diff��rentes proc��dures de projets d intervention. L importance accord��e au th��me am��ne �� l inclusion de la mati��re de techniques r��trospectives et aux contenus qui en sont li��s: conservation, restauration, restructuration et reconstruction d ��difices et ensembles urbains, dans les parcours des cours d architecture et d urbanisme au Br��sil ��tablies par le Minist��re de l Education Nationale (MEC) dans les ann��es quatre-vingt-dix, post��rieurement incorpor��s dans les directrices disciplinaires nationales. Nous partons des discussions th��oriques et conceptuelles du Domaine du Patrimoine Culturel, ainsi que des principales th��ories p��dagogiques d enseignements et d apprentissage articul��es au projet. Dans ce contexte les objectifs principaux de cette th��se consistent �� syst��matiser et �� analyser les principales proc��dures m��thodologiques contribuant pour la construction de m��thodes d enseignement tourn��e vers des activit��s pratiques dans ce domaine. Pour cela, la recherche a ��t�� syst��matis��e dans une approche �� deux niveaux. En ce qui concerne le premier, bas�� sur des donn��es secondaires, neuf cours d architecture et urbanisme ont ��t��s identifi��s entre institutions publiques d enseignement sup��rieur dont huit br��siliennes et une fran��aise, consid��r��es repr��sentatives en ce qui concerne les pratiques d enseignement de projet et de patrimoine culturel. Trente disciplines d��di��es �� la mati��re ont ��t�� ��galement reconnues initialement, et post��rieurement, cinq disciplines qui poss��dent un emploi du temps d��di�� �� la pratique de projet ont aussi ��t�� reconnues. Dans le deuxi��me cas, bas��e sur des donn��es primaires, ont ��t��s analys��es les m��thodologies et les strat��gies d enseignement de projet bas��es sur les d��finitions des mati��res et des autres ��l��ments des plans de travail avec des observations, des entrevues et des questionnaires en trois ateliers. Par rapport aux r��sultats nous avons constat�� que toutes les ��coles poss��dent les contenus de la mati��re, mais peu d entre elles privil��gient la relation du projet appliqu�� au patrimoine culturel. Nous avons constat�� que les questions des projets dans ce contexte, m��me s elles sont consid��r��es complexes, ont privil��gi�� le listage et l analyse du site. L atelier qui int��gre les fondements des th��ories de pr��servation, l histoire de l architecture et urbanisme et techniques anciennes et actuelles, est mis en valeur comme un mod��le coh��rent avec les propositions d int��gration des connaissances th��oriques et pratiques du projet appliqu�� �� la discipline. Bas�� sur ces constatations il est possible de d��montrer quatre ��tapes du projet appliqu�� au patrimoine culturel: 1��) les fondements g��n��raux qui concernent les bases th��oriques sur la pr��servation, histoire et technique r��trospective, par exemple, l appropriation de lois et normes et la sensibilisation de l ��l��ve sur les questions de patrimoine culturel; 2��) le contacte avec la r��alit�� qui inclut l appropriation du probl��me �� partir de ces acteurs, de ces ��chelles, de cette lecture de site et l analyse de l objet d ��tude; 3��) le d��veloppement de la proposition qui inclut programmes (fonctions existantes et propositions), d��finitions du partit (types d intervention), conception (hypoth��se et discussion) et d��finition de proposition; 4��) la finalisation du projet qui consiste �� d��velopper la proposition avec sa repr��sentation graphique et sa pr��sentation finale. Nous concluons que le projet en Domaine du Patrimoine Culturel demande une attention sp��ciale et doit ��tre pr��sent dans les cursus consid��rant les principes g��n��raux n��cessaires �� la formation de l ��l��ve. Le bin��me projet / patrimoine signifie avoir dans le cursus universitaire les contenus et questions n��cessaires les connaissances, les variables et possibilit��s existantes dans le projet appliqu�� au patrimoine culturel de fa��on �� ce que ces connaissances soient incorpor��es dans l exercice de projet et n apparaissent pas comme un simple contenu th��orique sans articulation avec la pratique. Naturellement ces conclusions n ��puisent pas la r��flexion sur la question. Nous esp��rons que les analyses faites contribuent �� d��finir des m��thodologies d enseignements capables d ��tres v��rifi��es et test��es dans la pratique en salle de cours, et puisse collaborer avec les nouvelles recherches surtout celles qui ont pour but des nouvelles th��ories p��dagogiques d enseignement apprentissage du projet en Domaine du Patrimoine Culturel

Do modelo geom��trico ao modelo f��sico: o tridimensional na educa����o do arquiteto e urbanista

In the teaching practice of architecture and urbanism in Brazil, educational legislation views modeling laboratories and workshops as an indispensable component of the infrastructure required for the good functioning of any architectural course of study. Although the development of information technology at the international level has created new possibilities for digital production of architectural models, research in this field being underway since the early 1990s, it is only from 2007 onwards that such technologies started to be incorporated into the teaching activity of architecture and urbanism in Brazil, through the pioneering experience at LAPAC/FEC/UNICAMP. It is therefore a recent experiment whose challenges can be highlighted through the following examples: (i) The implementation of digital prototyping laboratories in undergraduate courses of architecture and urbanism is still rare in Brazil; (ii) As a new developing field with few references and application to undergraduate programs, it is hard to define methodological procedures suitable for the pedagogical curricula already implemented or which have already been consolidated over the years; (iii) The new digital ways for producing tridimensional models are marked with specificities which make it difficult to fit them within the existing structures of model laboratories and workshops. Considering the above, the present thesis discusses the tridimensional model as a tool which may contribute to the development of students skills in perceiving, understanding and representing tridimensional space. Analysis is made of the relation between different forms of models and the teaching of architectural project, with emphasis on the design process. Starting from the conceptualization of the word model as it is used in architecture and urbanism, an attempt is made to identify types of tridimensional models used in the process of project conception, both through the traditional, manual way of model construction as well as through the digital ones. There is also an explanation on how new technologies for digital production of models through prototyping are being introduced in undergraduate academic programs of architecture and urbanism in Brazil, as well as a review of recent academic publications in this area. Based on the paradigm of reflective practice in teaching as designed by Sch��n (2000), the experiment applied in the research was undertaken in the integrated workshop courses of architectural project in the undergraduate program of architecture and urbanism at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Along the experiment, physical modeling, geometric modeling and digital prototyping are used in distinct moments of the design process with the purpose of observing the suitability of each model to the project s phases. The procedures used in the experiments are very close to the Action Research methodology in which the main purpose is the production of theoretical knowledge by improving the practice. The process was repeated during three consecutive semesters and reflection on the results which were achieved in each cycle helped enhancing the next one. As a result, a methodological procedure is proposed which consists of the definition of the Tridimensional Model as the integrating element for the contents studied in a specific academic period or semester. The teaching of Architectural Project as it is developed along the fifth academic period of the Architecture and Urbanism undergraduate program of UFRN is taken as a reference

O projeto de arquitetura de espa��os tempor��rios com o uso de sistema construtivo remont��vel: um estudo explorat��rio

The purpose of this research is to study the portable or reassemblable architectures, which, different from conventional architecture (whose designs are of permanent buildings), corresponds to the designing of spaces with temporary purposes. The focus of the study is the architectural design of spaces that are produced from building systems that can to be moved to different places (process of assembly / disassembly / reassembly) in order to identify the types of spaces generated and the processes used in their design / projecting. The aim is to investigate relationships between the initial project conceived based on a Reassemblable Construction System (RCS) and its application in the architectural design of professionals and students in order to contribute to the understanding of the specificities of this type of design activity. To this end it was developed the exploratory research based on multimedia methods, which includes: documentary analysis, technical visits, interviews, surveys, academic exercise and documentation by images. Although the study is not conclusive, the results indicate significant differences between the point of view of the RCS��s designers and its users (architects and architecture students) since the users demonstrated to have some difficulty to access the features provided for the first group, in particular the students. It is also demonstrated that the use of RCSs seems to change the appreciation / hierarchization of the conditions of project design, since, unlike what happens in traditional architectural design, the designers who use them seem to be more concerned with constructive issues, especially the structural elements (support and covering), instead of functionality, aesthetics and even physical characteristics of the site

Projeto de um edif��cio para fins educacionais com foco na racionaliza����o do consumo de ��gua

The urban growth without the prior infrastructure has caused many environmental impacts such as the damage to quality of the water resources in the cities. Along with natural scarcity in some regions, this is one of the factors that limit the availability of drinking water. As a result, the conservation of drinking water is becoming one of the major concerns in sustainable architectural projects. Within this context, this dissertation proposes to develop the design of an educational building focusing on water consumption rationalization. The proposed project is located in UFRN Campus at Currais Novos, an area of warm and dry climate and low rainfall. The proposal seeks to integrate ways to reduce water consumption o to architecture, in order to exploit the advantages and savings. After quantifying the benefits achieved, it was concluded that it is possible to reduce significantly the drinking water consumption in educational buildings in universities using three principles: reduction the water consumption at the point of use, replacement of the water source and internal recycling. Calculations and simulations indicated that the proposed building may have water consumption up to 56% lower than if it would be provided by conventional facilities. Rationalization of water consumption brings direct and indirect benefits, with influences on the environmental, social and economic fields

A organiza����o do processo de projeto de arquitetura no meio profissional: uma an��lise da produ����o em escrit��rios

This paper examines, through case studies, the organization of the production process of architectural projects in architecture offices in the city of Natal, specifically in relation to building projects. The specifics of the design process in architecture, the production of the project in a professional field in Natal, are studied in light of theories of design and its production process. The survey, in its different phases, was conducted between March 2010 and September 2012 and aimed to identify, understand, and analyze comparatively, by mapping the design process, the organization of production of building projects in two offices in Natal, checking as well the relationships of their agents during the process. The project was based on desk research and exploration, adopting, for both, data collection tools such as forms, questionnaires, and interviews. With the specific aim of mapping the design process, we adopted a technique that allows obtaining the information directly from employee agents involved in the production process. The technique consisted of registering information by completing daily, during or at the end of the workday, an individual virtual agenda, in which all agent collaborators described the tasks performed. The data collected allowed for the identification of the organizational structure of the office, its hierarchy, the responsibilities of agents, as well as the tasks performed by them during the two months of monitoring at each office. The research findings were based on analyses of data collected in the two offices and on comparative studies between the results of these analyses. The end result was a diagnostic evaluation that considered the level of organization and elaborated this perspective, as well as proposed solutions aimed at improving both the organization of the process and the relationships between the agents under the lens analyzed

Ribeira, t��cnica versus natureza: transforma����es em prol de um projeto de moderniza����o (1860-1932)

The necessity of the insertion of the capital of Rio Grande do Norte in the world-wide commercial scene and its claim as the seat of political power, in ends of nineteenth and beginning of twentieth century, determined the direction of urban interventions undertaken by government to restructure the city. In that matter, there were several actions of improvements and embellishment in Natal, which had, as a starting point, the adequacy works of the port, located in the Ribeira quarter, with the aim of ending the physical isolation that reinforced its economic stagnation. Besides the problems faced in the opening bar of the Potengi River, and would complement the required improvements, other barriers demonstrate the tension established between the physic-geographic field and the man: the flooded and slope which connected Cidade Alta and Ribeira the first two quarters of the city.The execution of these works demanded knowledge whose domain and application it was for engineering. But, how the actions done for the engineers, in sense to transform natural areas into constructed spaces made possible the intentional conformation of the quarter of the Ribeira in a commercial and politician-administrative center, in the middle of the XIX century and beginning of the XX? Understand, therefore, the employment effects of technology on the physical-geographical Ribeira, is the objective of this work that uses theoretical and methodological procedures of Urban Environmental History, by analyzing the relationship between the environment and the man, mediated by knowledge and use of technologies. The documental research was used, as primary sources, the Messages of the Provincial Assembly Government that later became the Legislative Assembly of Rio Grande do Norte reports and articles on specialized publications, in addition to local newspapers. The work is structured in five chapters. First, some comments about Urban Environmental History (Chapter 1) supplemented with analysis of the conceptual construction of nature in the Contemporary Era and its application in the city (chapter 02), the following chapters (03 and 04) deal with the rise of engineers as a active group in the Brazilian government frameworks and their vision about the nature inside the urban environment and it is studied how the professional technicians dealt with the improvement work of the harbor and in the shock with the natural forces. Other works that would complement this "project" of modernization and had had natural obstacles to be removed the Ribeira flood and slope constitute the subject of the fifth chapter. Finally, some final considerations retake the initial discussions aiming an association between the technique and the nature as junction elements inside the process of constitution of a Modern Natal

Projeto do complexo ambulatorial do Hospital Universit��rio Jo��o de Barros Barreto visando a crit��rios de sustentabilidade

The purpose of this dissertation is the architectural project of the ambulatory complex of the Federal University of Par�� in Bel��m. It is a health care establishment whose focus is sustainability, energy efficiency and humanization. This design went through the application of architectural concepts, the study of references (theorical and empirical ones), planning, examining the terrain and its conditions and the preliminay design and resulted in a preliminary architecture blueprint. The empirical research is based on the main building of the Hospital Universit��rio Jo��o de Barros Barreto in Bel��m, Hospital Sarah Kubitschek of Fortaleza (Architect Jo��o Filgueiras de Lima - Lel��) and Hospital e Maternity S��o Luiz of S��o Paulo (Architect Siegbert Zanettini). Part of the planning is based on the method "Problem Seeking of Pena and Parshal (2001)". During the development process I sought to incorporate sustainability criterias, energy efficiency and humanization. In relation to sustainability the dissertation focuses on the utilization of rainwater for non-potable usage

Indica����es para o projeto arquitet��nico de edif��cios multifamiliares: uma an��lise p��socupa����o em Natal/RN

Confirming the Brazilian tendency in the field, the multifamily vertical condominium habitats in Natal are defined as buildings with three or more floors which have been an increasingly used solution. In the mentioned project, the connection between the projectarchitects and the user/ buyers are spread out, by which the first people conceive the realestate property as a creation for the market and not the individual client in specific. Such situation along with technical and financial limitations of the project lead to the adoption of standard solutions to be utilized by clients with different profiles. Besides that, there are various legal and urban parameters by the City Director Plan showing elements of great influence in the final solution adopted by the mentioned edifices. Moving to this subject in general, this project is focused on the case study of the Ed. Ville de Montpellier, having as a base of Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE), considered an efficient tool to analyze and keep up with the progress of the construction of the building, including technical approvals, the application of surveys with the local residents and the creation of informal interviews. The data shows that with time some items that initially motivated the acquisition of the realestate property (with a social common area) move to being less valued, and that the residents quickly alter the pre constructed space, thus seeking to alter the property in a more personal and conforming manner. The possibility of a new emphasis for projects on the mentioned space should also be in discussion, the created project calls for the attention of projected conceptual aspects and interdependence within project and construction which permits the indication of some recommendations for the projection of multifamily residential buildings within the studied realm

Simula����o computacional como ferramenta de aux��lio ao projeto: aplica����o em edif��cios naturalmente ventilados no clima de Natal/RN

Natural air ventilation is the most import passive strategy to provide thermal comfort in hot and humid climates and a significant low energy strategy. However, the natural ventilated building requires more attention with the architectural design than a conventional building with air conditioning systems, and the results are less reliable. Therefore, this thesis focuses on softwares and methods to predict the natural ventilation performance from the point of view of the architect, with limited resource and knowledge of fluid mechanics. A typical prefabricated building was modelled due to its simplified geometry, low cost and occurrence at the local campus. Firstly, the study emphasized the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, to simulate the air flow outside and inside the building. A series of approaches were developed to make the simulations possible, compromising the results fidelity. Secondly, the results of CFD simulations were used as the input of an energy tool, to simulate the thermal performance under different rates of air renew. Thirdly, the results of temperature were assessed in terms of thermal comfort. Complementary simulations were carried out to detail the analyses. The results show the potentialities of these tools. However the discussions concerning the simplifications of the approaches, the limitations of the tools and the level of knowledge of the average architect are the major contribution of this study
