Entre serras e sert��es A(s) (trans)forma��(��es) de centralidade(s) da Regi��o Metropolitana do Cariri/CE

This study reviews the spatial configuration from the road network of an urban compound formed by the cities of Crato, Juazeiro do Norte and Barbalha (the Crajubar - core of the Cariri metropolitan region, in the State of Cear��, Brazil), in order to establish nexus (or relations) between different levels of accessibility and the formation/ transformation and specialization of centralities in local and metropolitan scales. Stemming from the Social Logic of Space theoretical and operational apparatus, the study explores modeling possibilities (with axial lines, segments and lines of continuity) which is then confronted to empirical observations concerning movement flows and land use, within a Geographic Information System database. At different scales of analysis, the results suggest evidences of continuity were found in the permanence of intra-urban centres and sub-centres within each town, whereas evidences of change pointed out to the formation of a new centrality of metropolitan magnitude in the neighbourhood referred to as the Tri��ngulo, in the municipality of Juazeiro, where high levels of topological accessibility coincides with the appearance of new business buildings as well as with the emergence of urban equipment of a scale more adequate to meet a regional demand

Prospec����o e defesa da paisagem urbana do Algarve (1965-70): a arquitetura tradicional e a preserva����o do patrim��nio urbano na proposta da DGSU

No contexto da sucessiva redefini����o do conceito de patrim��nio, a arquitetura vern��cula tender�� a assumir a sua import��ncia a partir da segunda metade do s��culo passado, alcan��ando estatuto pr��prio na Carta sobre o Patrim��nio Constru��do Vern��culo de 1999. Em Portugal, adquirem particular relev��ncia os trabalhos desenvolvidos em diferentes ��mbitos, desde a antropologia �� arquitetura, passando pela agronomia e pela geografia, que culminariam em diferentes s��nteses sobre o tema, alargadas a todo o territ��rio nacional continental. Essa abordagem s�� no final dos anos 60 viria a ser ensaiada, �� escala da regi��o do Algarve, no pioneiro trabalho desenvolvido pela equipa dirigida pelo Arq.�� Cabe��a Padr��o, no ��mbito da Sec����o de Defesa e Recupera����o da Paisagem Urbana da Direc����o-Geral dos Servi��os de Urbaniza����o (DGSU), sob o t��tulo ���Prospec����o, Preserva����o e Recupera����o de Elementos Urban��sticos e Arquitect��nicos Not��veis, em ��reas Urbanas e Marginais Vi��rias, na Regi��o do Algarve���, constituindo um de tr��s estudos complementares a integrar o Plano Regional do Algarve. Dos 49 volumes projectados a partir de 1965, abrangendo 47 aglomerados urbanos de dimens��es muito diversas e maioritariamente localizados na faixa litoral da regi��o, apenas de cerca de metade se conhece hoje o paradeiro. Mas se bem que rapidamente tenham sido remetidos - at�� muito recentemente -, ao esquecimento dos arquivos, e pese embora o seu car��cter datado, constituem um conjunto documental singular de ineg��vel import��ncia, pela metodologia e propostas que encerram, no contexto da evolu����o hist��rica dos conceitos e pr��ticas de valoriza����o e conserva����o patrimonial (em particular no que se refere ao patrim��nio arquitect��nico urbano de car��cter vern��culo) e de planeamento e interven����o em ��reas urbanas consolidadas. Import��ncia refor��ada pelo extenso levantamento fotogr��fico produzido e onde se fixou um momento hist��rico charneira documentando o in��cio de profundas transforma����es - que se acentuariam nas d��cadas subsequentes -, entre outras raz��es, por for��a da emergente import��ncia do turismo. Com a presente comunica����o pretende-se resgatar do esquecimento um trabalho verdadeiramente pioneiro (mesmo em termos mundiais) no que se refere �� preserva����o e recupera����o da paisagem urbana do Algarve, avaliando a sua metodologia e abordagem particular no ��mbito das interven����es em espa��o urbano e retomando um processo de an��lise e caracteriza����o da arquitetura tradicional da regi��o a partir do valioso esp��lio fotogr��fico constante neste estudo.

2 D game ediror on-line : A edi����o de videojogos em contexto web

Descreve-se, no presente trabalho, os esfor��os envidados no sentido de criar uma solu����o inform��tica generalista, para os problemas mais recorrentes do processo de produ����o de videojogos 20, baseados em sprites, a correr em plataformas m��veis. O sistema desenvolvido �� uma aplica����o web que est�� inserida no paradigma cloud��computing, usufruindo, portanto, de todas as vantagens em termos de acessibilidade, seguran��a da informa����o e manuten����o que este paradigma oferece actualmente. Al��m das quest��es funcionais, a aplica����o �� ainda explorada do ponto de vista da arquitetura da implementa����o, com vista a garantir um sistema com implementa����o escal��vel, adapt��vel e de f��cil manuten����o. Prop��e-se ainda um algoritmo que foi desenvolvido para resolver o problema de obter uma distribui����o espacial otimizada de v��rias ��reas retangulares, sem sobreposi����es nem restri����es a n��vel das dimens��es, quer do arranjo final, quer das ��reas arranjadas. ABSTRACT: This document describes the efforts taken to create a generic computing solution for the most recurrent problems found in the production of two dimensional, sprite��based videogames, running on mobile platforms. The developed system is a web application that fits within the scope of the recent cloud-computing paradigm and, therefore, enjoys all of its advantages in terms of data safety, accessibility and application maintainability. In addition, to the functional issues, the system is also studied in terms of its internal software architecture, since it was planned and implemented in the perspective of attaining an easy to maintain application, that is both scalable and adaptable. Furthermore, it is also proposed an algorithm that aims to find an optimized solution to the space distribution problem of several rectangular areas, with no overlapping and no dimensinal restrictions, neither on the final arrangement nor on the arranged areas.

Evocando o cachimbo de Magritte: das dota����es, pol��ticas de pessoal e discursos de acessibilidade

Uma an��lise que interliga a quest��o das dota����es (da diferen��a com os r��cios, dos m��todos e dos fatores a ter em conta) com a gest��o de recursos humanos (a necessidade de um plano estrat��gico de recursos humanos na sa��de) e os discursos de acessibilidade e acesso universal a cuidados de enfermagem. Tr��s prismas que convergem na necessidade de se prestar aten����o e ter em conta, portanto a recentrar nas quest��es da equidade e da responsabilidade.

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

Geografia da domina����o: um estudo sobre a organiza����o espacial da terra do sal (Macau-RN)

This work aims to understand the spatial organization in the Town of Macau, State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. This approach focus on bringing back the history of the town, the main personages responsible for the construction of this place, denominated "social agents", as well as its social processes and the spatial forms derived from them. As the personages and their practices were identified, it was found out the existence of a driving force for structuring, interlocking, and maintaining the actions carried out by the social agents during the time. Such actions were materialized in the urban space: "the social segregation". The social segregation takes place as a specific geography of domination. The outcome of those owning the best areas" and ways of accessibility in the urban space, varies from the enrichment by property valorization, because of the concentration of public investments of infrastructure, to the comfort of easily reaching all the daily needs related to the displacements in the urban space. In the latter case, such facility has contributed to improve life quality. While one takes advantage of the location in the urban space, others are negatively affected by the same process. This research identified the salina worker as the weakest element of this social structure, occupying the urban periphery of the town of Macau. Such area is characterized by the lack of services and urban equipment in opposition to the center of the town, the locus of elite. This way, it is established the most known segregation pattern: center x periphery, in which the space acts as a mechanism of segregation

O metal na arquitetura contempor��nea paraibana 1990-2002

This essay studies about contemporary architecture in Jo��o Pessoa, capital city of Paraiba State, which analyzes the utilization of steel and aluminum materials from 1990 to 2002, period when significant increase of this utilization is seen. As references, the architectural analysis and Engel structures definitions were used to analyze 40 built buildings, universe researched, to bring together subsidies to comprehend the contemporary production, especially which use the metal as structural and esthetic-formal element

Da col��nia ao shopping: um estudo da evolu����o tipol��gica da arquitetura hospitalar em Natal

A conceptual discussion on architectural type and its role in theory and practice supports the construction of an analytical tool used for recognizing the typological evolution of hospital architecture in Western societies. The same tool is applied to analyze the typological evolution of hospital architecture in Natal, Brazil, through a sample of eighteen hospitals built in the city since the beginnings of 20th century. The conclusion is that typological evolution in Natal is almost the same as occidental one, except for a few singularities that can be explained by local social and economic development

Vitalidade no centro antigo Teresina, Piau�� Pra��a Marechal Deodoro: uma interven����o contempor��nea em ��rea de valor patrimonial

This study deals with the discussions of contemporary interventions in public spaces in areas of heritage value. The product of this dissertation is an Intervention Project to Marechal Deodoro Square located in Teresina/PI center. The starting point for understanding the theme of this study is to investigate the accessibility and vitality of a public space - through relationship between form and uses. The spatial properties of accessibility and visibility as well as the distribution of land use - factors were associated with distinct patterns of vitality - and compared to usage patterns observed in situ and statements from users obtained through the results of the questionnaires. In attention to questions about the building constructed, particularly in historical centers, considers the guidelines to define intervention strategies in the square, consisted in the development of simulations that after evaluation of results of redesign, was chosen the best option to meet the necessary requirements to the performance, considering the spatial properties of integration and visibility that meet these requirements. Therefore, the "Intervention Project" carried out for the Marechal Deodoro Square characterization proposed items are discussed: spatial structure, vegetation, road network, pavements, street furniture and lighting

A Arquitetura como Processo Social

Desde o decorrer dos s��culos que a arquitetura se tem apresentado de diferentes formas perante o seu p��blico. As sucessivas mudan��as na mentalidade social foram em consequ��ncia provocando altera����es no posicionamento do arquiteto na rela����o com o utilizador, resultando no distanciamento entre ambos. O processo social da arquitetura acabou por sofrer continuas altera����es na sua forma de atuar, perdendo o seu car��ter de servi��o prestado �� sociedade, e funcionando como um instrumento de afirma����o e demonstra����o de poder. Atrav��s de uma an��lise da complexidade nas componentes da sociologia e da espacialidade, pretende-se chegar �� ess��ncia da conce����o do espa��o e da forma como este organiza e estrutura a sociedade. A quest��o primordial encontra-se no assumir do utilizador como um elemento primordial para a modela����o do espa��o, expondo os efeitos da componente participativa na conce����o do programa e do projeto. Na presente disserta����o tenta-se perceber de que forma a participa����o na conce����o do projeto arquitet��nico, pode exponenciar o processo social da arquitetura. Atrav��s da an��lise de tr��s obras internacionais, procura-se compreender de que forma o pensamento arquitet��nico e a metodologia de trabalho dos seus autores representam instrumentos importantes para restabelecer a conex��o perdida entre o arquiteto e o utilizador. O que se pretende n��o �� obten����o de uma resposta Universal, mas a exposi����o de um caminho, e dos instrumentos que podem constituir uma importante ferramenta para a afirma����o do processo social da arquitetura, dando a origem a um projeto arquitet��nico que represente a vis��o da sua sociedade e responda ��s suas necessidades. Uma arquitetura estruturada pela sociedade, onde o arquiteto assume n��o como um criador, mas como um gestor de recursos.
