Uma estrat��gia de relacionamento da favela com a cidade para a integração social, f��sica e simb��lica

This paper presents the principles of a strategy for the integration of slums in the city. From an extensive literature search, it analyzes the environment of the slums, the culture of peace as a future desirable situation and the fundamental value of popular participation. It proposes a strategy based on the theories and practice of the communitarian public relations. It realizes that this is a long process and requires the complicity of various social actors, in particular the State through a manager committee of communal integration, which managements the integration of actions

Ensino de Arquitetura e Urbanismo com auxilio de ferramentas digitais

Este texto pretende discutir a import��ncia do desenho �� m��o livre no processo projetivo arquitet��nico inserido no contexto da era digital, por meio do uso das mesas digitais, comumente chamadas de tablets. A relev��ncia desta discuss��o consiste em identificar como os desenhos feitos com tablets mant��m a percep����o e o tra��o individual de cada pessoa. Pretende-se, com isto, n��o apenas rever e atualizar as disciplinas de desenho nos cursos de arquitetura, suas pr��ticas e seus procedimentos, mas tamb��m, discutir o papel da linguagem e representa����o ��� anal��gica ou digital ��� e sua integração com outras disciplinas. S��o apresentadas algumas considera����es sobre o uso dessa ferramenta nas seguintes disciplinas: Hist��ria da Arquitetura e Urbanismo, Paisagismo e Projeto, ministradas no Instituto de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade de S��o Paulo, Brasil. As tablets s��o apresentadas como um meio de conex��o entre o projeto anal��gico e digital, capazes de capturar a press��o e a velocidade do tra��o, aproximando a potencialidade e racionalidade do processo feito no computador com o gesto criativo do desenho �� m��o livre, resultando em uma sinergia entre essas duas linguagens.

Extens��o do padr��o UPnP para a integração de sistemas de automa����o residencial.

O presente trabalho discute a compatibilidade e integração entre sistemas e dispositivos de automa����o residencial, propondo formas de melhor��-la. Essa integração tende a se tornar uma tarefa complexa devido �� grande variedade de padr��es e tecnologias de integração adotados na automa����o residencial. O presente trabalho prop��e uma extens��o do padr��o Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) e a utiliza����o de uma arquitetura modular com duas camadas, afim de adapt��-lo �� integração dos subsistemas de automa����o residencial. Esse padr��o estendido ��, ent��o, utilizado na camada superior, para o controle e integração entre os subsistemas. J�� na camada inferior, cada subsistema utiliza a tecnologia de comunica����o mais adequada para controlar seus dispositivos, e possui uma interface UPnP para se comunicar com outros subsistemas e permitir seu controle pelo usu��rio. Dessa forma os subsistemas tornam-se m��dulos do sistema de automa����o da resid��ncia. Essa proposta permite que o usu��rio compre e substitua facilmente subsistemas de fabricantes distintos, de forma a integr��-los, resultando em um sistema de automa����o residencial flex��vel e independente de fabricante. Para testar a extens��o proposta, um caso de uso de um subsistema de ilumina����o foi criado. A partir deste, foram realizadas simula����es computacionais. Os resultados destas foram apresentados e analisados, verificando-se o atendimento aos requisitos do sistema e se as caracter��sticas desejadas foram alcan��adas, tais como, a caracter��stica plug and play de subsistemas, o aumento da flexibilidade e a modulariza����o do sistema, para facilitar a compra e manuten����o de sistemas de automa����o residencial, gerando o potencial para fomentar a maior ado����o de sistemas de automa����o residencial. No entanto, a extens��o proposta tamb��m resulta no aumento da complexidade do cliente UPnP que a utiliza para interagir com o sistema, o que pode dificultar a ado����o de sistemas de automa����o residencial no futuro. Por fim, sugest��es de continuidade e perspectivas futuras foram apresentadas.

Arquitetura computacional para redes org��nicas e heterog��neas: plano de controle do sistema operacional swarm.

Computational Swarms (enxames computacionais), consistindo da integração de sensores e atuadores inteligentes no nosso mundo conectado, possibilitam uma extens��o da info-esfera no mundo f��sico. N��s chamamos esta info-esfera extendida, c��ber-f��sica, de Swarm. Este trabalho prop��e uma vis��o de Swarm onde dispositivos computacionais cooperam din��mica e oportunisticamente, gerando redes org��nicas e heterog��neas. A tese apresenta uma arquitetura computacional do Plano de Controle do Sistema Operacional do Swarm, que �� uma camada de software distribu��da embarcada em todos os dispositivos que fazem parte do Swarm, respons��vel por gerenciar recursos, definindo atores, como descrever e utilizar servi��os e recursos (como divulg��-los e descobr��-los, como realizar transa����es, adapta����es de conte��dos e coopera����o multiagentes). O projeto da arquitetura foi iniciado com uma revis��o da caracteriza����o do conceito de Swarm, revisitando a defini����o de termos e estabelecendo uma terminologia para ser utilizada. Requisitos e desafios foram identificados e uma vis��o operacional foi proposta. Esta vis��o operacional foi exercitada com casos de uso e os elementos arquiteturais foram extra��dos dela e organizados em uma arquitetura. A arquitetura foi testada com os casos de uso, gerando revis��es do sistema. Cada um dos elementos arquiteturais requereram revis��es do estado da arte. Uma prova de conceito do Plano de Controle foi implementada e uma demonstra����o foi proposta e implementada. A demonstra����o selecionada foi o Smart Jukebox, que exercita os aspectos distribu��dos e a dinamicidade do sistema proposto. Este trabalho apresenta a vis��o do Swarm computacional e apresenta uma plataforma aplic��vel na pr��tica. A evolu����o desta arquitetura pode ser a base de uma rede global, heterog��nea e org��nica de redes de dispositivos computacionais alavancando a integração de sistemas c��ber-f��sicos na n��vem permitindo a coopera����o de sistemas escal��veis e flex��veis, interoperando para alcan��ar objetivos comuns.

Integração da simula����o termoenerg��tica com o processo de projeto: a an��lise de 6 casos

This work consists of the integrated design process analyses with thermal energetic simulation during the early design stages, based on six practical cases. It aims to schematize the integration process, identifying the thermal energetic analyses contributions at each design phase and identifying the highest impact parameters on building performance. The simulations were run in the DesignBuilder energy tool, which has the same EnergyPlus engine, validated. This tool was chosen due to the flexible and user friendly graphic interface for modeling and output assessment, including the parametric simulation to compare design alternatives. The six case studies energy tools are three architectural and three retrofit projects, and the author the simulations as a consultant or as a designer. The case studies were selected based on the commitment of the designers in order to achieve performance goals, and their availability to share the process since the early pre-design analyses, allowing schematizing the whole process, and supporting the design decisions with quantifications, including energy targets. The thermoenergetic performance analyses integration is feasible since the early stages, except when only a short time is available to run the simulations. The simulation contributions are more important during the sketch and detail phases. The predesign phase can be assisted by means of reliable bioclimatic guidelines. It was verified that every case study had two dominant design variables on the general performance. These variables differ according the building characteristics and always coincide with the local bioclimatic strategies. The adaptation of alternatives to the design increases as earlier it occurs. The use of simulation is very useful: to prove and convince the architects; to quantify the cost benefits and payback period to the retrofit designer; and to the simulator confirm the desirable result and report the performance to the client

Avalia����o da usabilidade e da arquitetura da informa����o do site do Instituto do C��rebro da UFRN: um estudo de caso com base nas opini��es dos usu��rios da institui����o

The objective of the current piece of research presents was draw up a list of recommendations for the site of the Instituto do C��rebro da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, with an emphasis on fault identification in usability and information architecture, through the application of design techniques with users of the institution. From the use of the following techniques: Cardsorting, applied to a group of six people as target public, such as professor, administrative technicians and graduate student of the institution; Interviews, carried out with the director of the Instituto do C��rebro, secretaries of the undergraduate and graduate courses; Cooperative Evaluation applied in two ways: in group and individually. The evaluation in group was fulfilled in four sessions that occurred with a group composed of six people who are part of the technical staff of the Instituto do C��rebro. In the Individual Cooperative Evaluation, eight users (graduate students and administrative technicians of the Instituto do C��rebro da UFRN) performed tasks which are frequently fulfilled by users from the public target in the site of the Instituto do C��rebro. After each session of the Individual Cooperative Evaluation, a questionnaire of the user��s satisfaction was used about his or her perception in regard to the site usability and utility of the mentioned institute site. Therefore, it was concluded that, by means of the analysis of the results and the triangulation of the obtained data in each one of the techniques applied with the users, in the present piece of research, problems were verified, among others; all related to the unsuitable use of the interface elements, navigation, labeling of some menu terms, and still, the lack of search space and integration with the social networks ��� besides the lack, positioning and inappropriate formatting of information that would be of high relevance to the users. Finally, a list of recommendations is presented and this can be used in a future interface redesign with the goal to improve the information architecture and the usability of the site of the Instituto do C��rebro da Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte.

Projeto de mobilidade urbana: estudo sobre processos de integração com habita����o de interesse social nas obras do PAC da COPA 2014 em Natal/RN

The public political investments of urban mobility financed by PAC of Cup 2014 have developed discussions and questions by the civil society in Brazil expecting positive results to the urban infrastructure referring to the possible human rights violation and, specially, rights of habitation related to the removing/expropriation noticed. Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte, is into this context, due to the urban mobility project linking North Zone of the city to the Arena das Dunas stadium, financed by the PAC of Cup 2014, named West Structural Corridor, that crosses a field of social interest and proposes almost 400 expropriations. This research analyzes how strategies and mechanisms of integration were presented between the mobility project of West Structural Corridor and the Social Interest Habitation affected by this project. We have as hypothesis those projects financed by PAC of Cup 2014/Urban Mobility to Natal/RN present many problems related to the integration of social interest to the housing project, however the National Politics of Urban Development has planned this integration. As a result we detach 3 strategies in the elaboration process about the integration of those politics: (i) integration between municipal secretaries involved in this project; (ii) urban integration of the city; and (iii) integration of public rules or public politics integrated. For each strategy were presented the main mechanisms used to establish the integration of the project. Those mechanisms, however, in this process of establishment/implementation of the empirical research, presented many contradictions and conflicts that compose problems to the integration between the mobility project and the housing area affected.

Repercuss��o da integração de conte��dos das disciplinas nos trabalhos finais de gradua����o de CAU-UFRN (2003 a 2010)

The changes in the teaching of Architecture in Brazilian Universities, from the 1990s onwards, with the upgrading of the Architecture project as an object of research and scientific knowledge and more specifically, the adoption by the Architecture and Urbanism Course (CAU) from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) of the principle of content integration of the disciplines, aroused the interest in research on issues related to the Design process and the teaching of design in this context. After 20 years of its implementation and recognized as being a major step forward in teaching the teaching/learning process, the integration is the central focus of this research, which will seek to identify changes in the teaching design and its refutation in projects developed by students at the end of their course. In general, it is understood that the need to integrate knowledge from diverse areas of Architect���s professional activity, who seeks through an exercise of summary, identify solutions to the issues involved in a project. On the assumption that the integration of content of disciplines fosters the teaching/learning of Architecture project, which can be evident in the Final Course Assignment (FCA), it becomes necessary to understand, in the light of theories of education, such as the principles of curriculum organization, such as interdisciplinarity and multidisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity and transversality are related to the term integration, is more understood and disseminated among the professors of the Architecture courses. The object of this study is consequently the relationship between the integration of subject content and Architecture projects developed by students from CAU-UFRN, in the context of Final Graduation projects (FCAs) completed in the period of duration of the Teaching Project A5-from 2003. The study has the main objective of investigating to what extent the integration of disciplinary content affects the development of the Final Assignment of UFRN, from the analysis of drawings and texts of the projects of the learners and the testimonies of teachers and undergraduate students. From a methodological point of view, the research ���Architecture, Project and Knowledge Production: Academic Production ��� FCAs, Thesis and dissertations in PA/Brazil��� carried out by the PROJETAR/UFRN team has been adopted as the basis for the construction of the analytical instruments. In order to identify aspects of their experience by various actors which were not recorded in FCA, electronic forms were applied between teachers and students, through the internet. The integration of subject content based Teaching Project of CAU-UFRN institutionalises the interdisciplinarity, organizing the curriculum by thematic semesters, in which the disciplines work the same focus and at the same site. The integrated work which derives from there tries to articulate the content of each discipline of the period and represents a general practice and has been evaluated by teachers and students, and considered as a facilitator of the teaching/learning process. The analysis of the data collected from the textual content and graphic of the sample of FCAs of CAU-UFRN suggests that the content of the various areas of knowledge are assimilated by the student and used as a resource for the design and development of Architecture projects. In other words, there is in the end product of the students record of the integration of content, whether in speech or in drawing, reaffirming the importance of the convergence of various knowledge in the Architectonic project. However, the integration of content from the point of view of their articulation and operationalization, which involves teachers and students in the same period, has as a condition sine qua non for the success of this educational principle, the provision of these to work as part of a team, for the dialogic practice, which creates areas of intersection not only between disciplines, but between the knowledge of each of the participants.

iSalud: uma arquitetura para publica����o e distribui����o de sistemas de informa����o para o SUS

The Brazil Telehealth Networks Program was established by the Ministry of Health in 2007. Its main objective is to support professionals in Primary Health Care (PHC) by offering educational qualification, resulting in more favorable conditions to fixate the professional in remote areas. The formulation and management of telehealth services are performed by scientific and technical centers that are operated by public institutions of higher education and responsible for providing tools and services in the context of the regions where they are. However, one of the problems generated by this decentralization is the development of various tools with different types of language, architecture and without any regulation and integration of information with the Ministry of Health. Aiming to solve the above problem, we propose the specification, implementation and validation of an architectural model in the development and distribution of the Unified Health System software tools. This proposed architecture enables tools developed in telehealth center to be shared among the other centers, thereby preventing the unnecessary use of resources.

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 integração 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

Inser����o da inform��tica nos cursos de Arquitetura e Urbanismo do Brasil (1994 2006): diagn��sticos, rebatimentos e perspectivas nas Institui����es Federais de Ensino Superior do Nordeste: UFRN, UFPB e UFPE

This work supports the formalist education s improvement of the Brazilian architect and urban designer through a better application and systematization of the computer science s teaching potentialities. The research analyzes the discipline introduction in the Brazilian courses: Computer Science Applied to Architecture and Urbanism (InfoAU) in the Architecture and Urbanism Courses of Brazil (CAUs). It goes since the discipline was obligated by the MEC s Regulation nr. 1.770 from 1994 until the CNE/CES Resolution nr. 6 from 2006; it comprehends the discipline implantation, development and current context, in order to get more detailed, the research analyses three federal universities from the Northeast of the country: UFRN, UFPB and UFPE. Once identified the historical educational needs in the CAUs, the study focus on the computer science s increasing potential as an agent of integration, communication, development and knowledge/data management. It points out new social perspectives for a better use of this tool/mechanism, which adequately structuralized and integrated, creates propitious educational and professional performance/recycling conditions and a propeller instrument of research and extension activities. Among this work, it is suggested the aggregation of elements, which are complementary to the InfoAU discipline s reorganization, throughout a computerization s plan for the CAUs, extensive to the professional formation, generating a virtuous cycle in several activities of the academic, administrative and, research and extension s departments. Therefore, the InfoAU in the Brazilian CAUs context was analyzed; the main solutions and problems found were systemized; the possibilities of computer science s uses inside AU ware structuralized, InfoAU discipline s improvement plan was also defined, as well as strategies for the implementation of the computerization s plan for the CAUs, which would guarantee its maintenance in a continuity perspective

Bibliotecas digitais em Arquitetura e urbanismo: um estudo sobre a arquitetura da informa����o digital

The goal of this paper was to search the state of the art from the Digital Libraries in Architecture and Urbanism in the Higher Education Institutions (IES) through conceptualizations and showing the importance of Digital Libraries in the disclosure and easing of information transferring. Questions about digital information architecture, usability, digital preservation and accessibility were approached. The research was made in the websites of Brazilian Universities, firstly to identify the institutions which offered the Architecture and Urbanism course, focusing on postgraduate education. After identifying the offering, the research was done by analyzing the contents, storage and dissemination and access to information, these libraries. It was found that the digital libraries are increasingly and taking part of organizations and educational institutions focusing on the knowledge dissemination releasing digitally information that may be needed for institution or the individual. A monitoring was done over of the physical and computational restructuring of the Board of Studies and Research in Architecture and Urbanism (C��mara de Estudos e Pesquisa em Arquitetura e Urbanismo, CEPAU), from the Architecture and Urbanism Course of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), showing the need of installing a Digital Library to integrate the databases of PPGAU s research groups, which today remain independent, with no interface among themselves. The research chosen area was Architecture and Urbanism, because there is a gap and little documentation about digital libraries in this area
