Caico, a town located in the countryside of Rio Grande do Norte state, has a relevant history for the region and vibrant culture. However, buildings from past periods of time have been suffering successive modifications, classified as misrepresenting interventions. The difficulty of accepting these constructions as heritage comes from various reasons, like a more colonial, elitist, and monumental thinking regarding Brazil's heritage subject. It is believed that there is a latent potential in the old houses, even though it is inserted in an old center with little unity, and that a possible path for their preservation is to supply the population with qualified information regarding how to intervene and conserve them. Based on the study of other informative materials and the analysis of the constructions inventoried in the light of new restoration theories, a range of possibilities was built for these houses' requalification. The final product of this study is an orientation booklet that aims to serve as an object of heritage education, showing the population both the importance of conserving this collection and the types and possibilities of interventions that can be carried out.
O forte da proteção: estudo do entorno do Forte dos Reis Magos a partir da legislação urbana da cidade de Natal/RN (1967-2007)
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-10-08) Lima, Regina Alyce Caetano de; Dantas, George Alexandre Ferreira; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8352-7590; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9782385817332156; https://orcid.org/0009-0008-4299-197X; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2548423794285955; Bentes Sobrinha, Maria Dulce Picanço; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6461-9441; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3773171291305294; Cordovil, Fabíola Castelo de Souza; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1065-3908; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7688784916763495
The current Environmental Protection Zone (ZPA) 07, which encompasses the area surrounding the Forte dos Reis Magos in the city of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, is currently the subject of debate and conflict among various members of society. However, this area has long played a fundamental role in the history and landscape of the capital of Rio Grande do Norte. Therefore, given the importance of this region, this study aims to analyze the delimitation of the area surrounding the Forte dos Reis Magos, based on Natal's urban planning provisions, beginning in 1968, the date of the elaboration of the Serete Plan, which marked the beginning of the construction of the legal urban framework for this location, until the revision of the 2007 Municipal Master Plan, which establishes a series of conflicts, through various agents, over the dispute of this territory. To this end, a bibliographic review was conducted on the urban historiography of Brazil and Natal, within the proposed time frame and theme, and data was collected from periodicals, newspapers, documentation, and legislation itself, also within the proposed time frame and theme. The study, therefore, sought to contribute to the understanding of the history of the urban legal framework of the current ZPA 07, with a view to supporting studies and proposals for future regulations in the area.
Princípios teórico-metodológicos do restauro e a prática intervencionista sobre ruínas de reconhecido valor patrimonial: (especificidades e contradições na) experiência potiguar

The work focuses on reflecting on the preservation of cultural assets in a state of ruin and on the interventionist practices of the national heritage preservation agency (IPHAN) through an experience in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. By considering the importance of discussing the theoretical and methodological principles of the restoration field and their application to interventions in ruins, a recurring tension between past and present becomes evident. It is often conveyed that the old plays a secondary and passive role, while the new not only challenges its historicity but also the entire context in which the cultural asset is embedded. Within the institutional sphere, this scenario continues, where measures are implemented with the aim of returning the asset to its original state—a practice known as repristination. This raises the question: “How is it that, over time, even with the emergence of new approaches and theoretical-methodological discussions, such practices continue, to a great extent, to seek a return to an elected original state?” When dealing with ruined cultural heritage, it is essential to reiterate that these represent a complex debate within the heritage context, one that must be approached through a dialogue between Architectural Restoration and Archaeological Restoration. Based on evidence already discussed in various academic studies, it can be observed that, since the 1960s, institutional actions involving ruins of recognized heritage value in Rio Grande do Norte have not aligned with the criteria proposed by the field of contemporary restoration, particularly due to the lack of specific methodological discussions regarding interventions in ruins. This research proposes to assess how intervention practices in ruined heritage sites listed by IPHAN in Rio Grande do Norte relate to the theoretical and methodological principles of conservation and restoration over time, investigating the maturation of these concepts from the agency's initial interventions in the 1960s to the present day. It will be conducted through a qualitative approach, using project-based and documentary analysis in selected case studies, in order to understand the type of treatment given to these heritage ruins and their relationship with current preservation recommendations and discussions. For project work in areas of heritage interest and for recognizing the skills and competencies necessary for their preservation, it is essential to make explicit the link between theoretical deepening and design development. The study will rely on the most recent restoration theories within a contemporary context. Thus, the aim of the research is not to discuss the historical trajectory of the preservation field in depth, but rather to revisit some theoretical contexts from the 19th and 20th centuries to support the debate on restoration as a critical design act. Therefore, the work will be grounded in a bibliographic review focused on the Italian perspective of restoration, due to its relevance in establishing preservation as a disciplinary field of study and, consequently, its influence on the Brazilian academic sphere. These efforts aim to evaluate the Rio Grande do Norte experience in dealing with ruined heritage sites and to identify the criteria and principles that have guided interventions, through a temporal analysis.
Análise integrada da paisagem sonora em destino turístico e litorâneo

The term soundscape refers to the way an acoustic environment is perceived by individuals within a given context. This approach focuses on the management and appreciation of sounds as fundamental elements for transforming spaces, considering the interests of society. Pipa Beach, located in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, and recognized as one of the country’s main tourist destinations, has undergone accelerated and unplanned urban growth in recent years, resulting in a significant increase in noise pollution. This situation highlights the need for a detailed analysis of the local soundscape, integrating noise control approaches. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to characterize the soundscape of an urban area of Pipa Beach/RN based on human perceptions, the acoustic environment, and the local context, providing support for future interventions aimed at mitigating environmental impacts. The methodology combined quantitative and qualitative approaches: sound pressure level measurements, binaural head recordings, questionnaires applied to tourists and residents, and soundwalks conducted with specialists and residents, following the guidelines of the ISO 12913 series. Statistical analysis of the data revealed a significant diversity of sounds and high sound pressure levels, mainly attributed to human activities and traffic. It was observed that tourists evaluated the acoustic environment more positively than residents and specialists, who were more sensitive to the effects of noise on quality of life. As a synthesis, maps were created to integrate the main characteristics of the soundscape and the collected data. It was concluded that the combined approach of noise control and soundscape analysis proved effective, providing valuable information to strengthen local identity and support sustainable urban planning.
Habitação social e saúde no contexto da pandemia de Sars-Cov-2 (2020-2021): estudo sobre habitabilidade e percepção dos moradores da ZEIS Pirambu - Fortaleza-CE

This research focuses on self-built housing, habitability, and health. The study seeks to assess the health impact of luxury housing conditions, considering the specificities of self-built housing, whose precariousness contributes to the worsening of residents' health problems, especially in the context of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. Habitability aspects demonstrate that adequate housing involves much more than the physical space of the house, including environmental, social, and urban factors. Studies on this topic point to solutions and intervention strategies in informal settlements, highlighting smaller-scale actions capable of generating significant impacts on the city as a whole. In this sense, precarious settlements, such as ZEIS Pirambu, located in the west zone of Fortaleza, Ceará, made social isolation an even greater challenge during the pandemic. Research related to housing and its interrelationships highlighted how the peripheries of Fortaleza were impacted during this period, due to factors such as safety, habitability, sustainability, building performance, and urban conditions. Thus, the object of study of this dissertation is limited to self-built housing and its relationship with habitability and health, posing the following guiding question: how did the habitability conditions of social housing in the Pirambu ZEIS affect the health of families during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic? Given this issue, the overall objective of the research is to understand the conditions of self-built housing in the Pirambu ZEIS, identifying their effects on habitability and health during the pandemic and postpandemic period. The motivation for this study arose from direct experience in the Pirambu ZEIS, where local problems and recent transformations in the territory were closely inspired. Methodologically, this is a cross-sectional study with a qualitative approach, focusing on the Pirambu ZEIS in Fortaleza, Ceará. Priority was given to authors who discuss self-built housing, habitability, and health. The research included an exploratory empirical analysis of housing, using questionnaires administered to residents, photographic records, and audio recordings, with the aim of identifying and classifying habitability conditions. Therefore, this work seeks to contribute to the understanding of informality and housing problems in the Pirambu ZEIS, as well as to generate reflections on urban inequality, the dynamics of self-built space in vulnerable areas, and the effects of habitability on residents' health, considering social inequalities and health perceptions in the post-SARS-CoV-2 pandemic period.
Pau dos Ferros além da sombra da oiticica: o processo de valoração como norteador das escolhas patrimoniais

This research addresses the topic of cultural heritage from the perspective of attributing values, having as its study universe three regions of the Municipality of Pau dos Ferros/RN where problems related to the preservation and conservation of historical sites are evident. Taking the process of valorization and heritage choices as the object of study, we will clearly seek the following question: how different subjects value the city's historic sites and how these values influence the construction of heritage meanings and choices about how to intervene in pre-existences? Our objective is, therefore, to investigate the role of the values attributed to the historical sites of the city of Pau dos Ferros in the patrimonial choices of the municipal authorities and inhabitants.To achieve this objective we will to make: a conceptual discussion about the valuation process based on a bibliographical review that addresses the theory of values and its implications for the field of heritage from a contemporary perspective; a characterization of our universe of study from a historical-socio-cultural approach, also taking as a basis a review of the bibliography that permeates the fields of knowledge of history, geography and architecture and urbanism; identify the values attributed to sites through qualitative data extracted from field records anchored in the methodology of incorporated observation, and semi-structured interviews aimed at site inhabitants and municipal managers linked to the field of heritage; and finally, by crossing the data obtained, we will analyze the conception of pau-ferrense cultural heritage by the inhabitants and managers and the way in which they have been intervening in the pre-existences of the historical sites studied. The results indicate that the valuation process is clearly grounded in the relationship established between individuals and place, and that these directly influence the various meanings attributed, which may or may not lead to the attribution of heritage value. Heritage value, in turn, also has diverse characteristics, sometimes more focused on the monumentality and exceptionality of the assets, and sometimes broader, encompassing more typologies and intangible elements. Finally, we also note the existence of several points of convergence and divergence between the views of residents and managers regarding local cultural heritage.
Ocupações urbanas, planejamento conflitual e territorialidade

In the downtown area of Natal, highlighting the lack of access to housing for low-income populations and denouncing the significant number of vacant properties, members of the Movimento de Luta nos Bairros, Vilas e Favelas (MLB – Movement for Struggle in Neighborhoods, Villages, and Slums) have been organizing urban occupations of idle buildings as a way to demand the right to housing and to the city center. These occupations are central to the process of political engagement and education of the movement’s members, who are primarily individuals experiencing housing insecurity. Beyond serving as a place of residence, the occupations also function as political organizations through which the movement expands its base, strengthens its political power, and publicizes its causes and struggles to society. We propose to understand these occupations as forms of conflictual planning (Tanaka, Oliveira, and Coli, 2019), which engage planning as a political tool of resistance to urban conflicts and as a means of creating spaces for dialogue with the State. In this context, the general objective of this work is to analyze how organized occupations have been part of conflictual planning processes that claim the right to housing and territoriality in downtown Natal. Specifically, this research aims to: (1) investigate the strategies of the housing rights movement in Brazil; (2) understand the formation of popular territories around downtown Natal; and (3) characterize the MLB’s repertoire of action in the city center. To achieve these goals, the research relied primarily on literature and document review from various sources, semi-structured interviews with MLB-RN coordinators and members of the movement’s legal advisory team, and a workshop conducted with residents of the Palmares Occupation. Among the findings, we highlight that in Natal, participation in institutional spaces, street protests and public demonstrations, and most notably, the organization of occupations, are interrelated strategies in the political struggle led by the MLB to expand the right to housing. Throughout the occupations organized in the city center, the defense of territoriality— ensuring residents can remain near their places of origin—has become an increasingly important objective and strategy of the movement.
Veja antes que acabe: a substituição de edifícios residenciais modernos de pequeno porte e o impacto na urbanidade em Fortaleza/CE

This dissertation analyzes the urbanity impact resulting from small-scale modern residential buildings, built between the 1960s and 1970s, replaced with new contemporary developments in the Aldeota and Meireles neighborhoods in Fortaleza, Brazil. This replacement process, driven by the increasing real estate value in these neighborhoods combined with the permissiveness of current urban planning legislation, has led to the demolition of small-scale single-family and multifamily residences. The research proposes an analysis of modern architectural production in these neighborhoods, highlighting urbanity attributes present in small-scale modern multifamily residential buildings. Using a qualitative and exploratory approach, the study employs a literature review on modern architecture and urbanity, empirical data collection with quantitative surveys, interviews, photographic records, and case study analysis. A critical analysis was conducted to investigate how this dynamic has impacted urban space, the modernist architectural legacy of Fortaleza, and the consequences of this replacement on Aldeota and Meireles urbanity. The results reveal 235 small-scale modern residential buildings, underscoring their relevance in the urban composition of these neighborhoods. However, surveys indicate that 23 examples of the typology were demolished between 2012 and 2024, revealing a concerning scenario for the coming years. Finally, the dissertation reflects on the consequences of this replacement, which has caused direct impacts on local urbanity, and on the uncertain future of the modernist built heritage, which has been subject to losses and degradation due to this new dynamic.
Resiliência ao clima: a responsividade dos elementos de envoltória em construções vernaculares do semiárido
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2025-02-11) Maia, Lorena Séfora Silva Nicolau; Pinto, Edna Moura; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2863-385X; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3789406301829141; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3244892908061763; Balbi, Rafaela Santana; Teixeira, Rubenilson Brasão
The growing concern about climate change has driven the search for resilient solutions in architecture, especially in the Brazilian semi-arid region. This dissertation investigates resilience in three vernacular buildings located in the semi-arid region of the state of Rio Grande do Norte, aiming to identify the aspects of these constructions that help them withstand severe climatic events, such as droughts. To achieve this, the following methodologies were employed: literature review and case study. Representative buildings of the vernacular architecture in the semi-arid region of Rio Grande do Norte were selected based on criteria derived from the research of Feijó (2014), Diniz (2008), and Borges (2015). The resilience analysis followed the criteria established in the literature, divided into four stages: vulnerability, resistance, robustness, and recovery. To assess vulnerability, occurrences of drought since the construction of the buildings were identified, along with climatic data that contribute to the analysis of the other stages. The analysis of material resistance and construction techniques considered factors such as the responsiveness of the building and its surroundings, according to the method proposed by Borges (2015), the amount of carbon stored in the thimber elements, and thermal transmittance, absorptance, and the window to wall ratio, according to the recommendations of NBR 15.220-3 (ABNT, 2005). The detection of pathological manifestations in the vernacular buildings, as a reflection of robustness, was carried out using thermographic images and diagrams, while recovery was analyzed through the assessment of material deterioration, use of local materials, and maintenance practices. The results demonstrate that the investigated buildings possess significant potential to withstand the impacts of climate change, particularly with regard to desertification and rising temperatures. This potential is linked to the ability of these structures to adapt to local climatic conditions, as well as to the integration of traditional knowledge with scientific and technological expertise, especially in the use of vernacular construction systems and techniques. The resilience of these dwellings is evident in their architectural and environmental solutions, which are specifically adapted to the semi-arid context.
Da cidade ao shopping e vice-versa?: configuração espacial, movimento e usos do espaço em shopping centers e seus entornos
(Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, 2023-07-19) Maia, Ítalo Dantas de Araújo; Trigueiro, Edja Bezerra Faria; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2279771493519042; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1823-7327; http://lattes.cnpq.br/8562640521670224; Valença, Márcio Moraes; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7057449448661416; Donegan, Lucy; Vargas, Heliana Comin
This dissertation addresses relationships concerning architectural form and use of space, with a focus on the interaction of commercial establishments of the shopping center type (herein referred as SC) and the city that contains them. Three SCs and their respective surroundings were investigated through a morphological perspective based on the theory of the Social Logic of Space (HILLIER; HANSON, 1984; HILLIER, 2007 [1996]). The studied shopping centers are located in the North, East and South Administrative Regions of Natal (capital city of the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil) in highly accesible areas, considering origin-destination and shortest path routes; they have different target audiences and reputations, one catering for lower incomes (SC01), one of greater mixture between social classes (SC02) and one for a more affluent audience (SC03). Stemming from the assumption of an interweaving between the exterior (city) and interior (building), the hypothesis adopted was that patterns of pedestrian movement and use of space inside the SCs (a private space of collective use), may be linked to aspects of the urban fabric (a public space), and that the exterior-interior continuity is modeled by the space configuration properties of the urban fabric, by the interfaces between buildings and public space and by the way in which the internal spaces of these buildings are organized/configured. The aim was to verify if and in what ways the city and the shopping center are related, taking into consideration aspects of the form and use of space. For that, the study addressed SCs as: a) artifacts embedded in urban space, focusing on the spatial accessibility and patterns of pedestrian movement in their surroundings, and on the shape of the built environment around them; b) artifacts in themselves, isolated from the city, with their own socio-spatial logic, focusing on which semantic aspects are attributed to these SCs, the way in which stores are spread in them, the spatial configuration and patterns of pedestrian movement within the building; and c) by the possibilities of interweaving the spatial mesh of SCs with the urban mesh, with a focus on the spatial configuration and the movement of pedestrians inside those buildings. Results showed: a) the existence of distinct modes of use of public space in the surroundings of each SC, which seems to be mediated by their spatial configuration and the shape of the built environment, with movement patterns effected to a greater or lesser extent according to the sociocultural aspects of those who inhabit these areas; b) the existence of different spatial arrangements within the buildings, capable of modeling pedestrian movement, each with their own logic of space use; and c) two strongly contrasting cases, one in which the dual logic of space use within the isolated building and that found in when the meshes are stiched together overlap, indicating high spatial tuning between SC and the public sphere, and another in which movement and spatial structure (the seam attaching building and town considered) are little related or somewhat opposite in behavior. In general, it was here evident that the spatial meshes of shopping centers, added to the city, do not contribute to increasing the accessibility of the system, having caused the opposite effect in some situations, particularly at local scales; however, the building did benefit from that seam, as shown in the analysis of one of the cases, channeling accessibility and movement from the outside into the building.
Reconstrução de uma feição "original": estratégias projetuais de intervenção em ruínas do Brasil e o caso da Capela do Engenho Cunhaú, RN

In the pioneering phase of the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Service (Sphan), now known as Iphan, the fundamental guidelines for the safeguarding and intervention of Brazilian cultural assets were established. During this period, the preservation of colonial-style buildings became common in the country, along with a widespread restoration practice that aimed at reconstructing an "original" state of the monuments listed by the federal agency. In this context, the general objective of this study is to understand the design intervention strategies applied to the Chapel of Engenho do Cunhaú, in order to contribute to the conceptual and theoretical discussion on the relationship between restoration projects and ruined heritage. e ruin selected for analysis is the Chapel of Nossa Senhora das Candeias, commonly known as the Chapel of Cunhaú, located in the municipality of Canguaretama, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte. e chapel’s archival documents proved to be highly relevant to the intended analysis, as they contain discussions by Sphan architects regarding the design strategies to be adopted in the restoration project. e primary sources that form the basis of this research include the listing and intervention processes, along with their respective iconographic archives, made available by the Central Archive of Iphan (ACI-RJ). To support the analysis of design strategies, this study considers preservationist theories, information on the listing and intervention processes, and the academic and professional trajectories of the architects involved in the restoration projects as theoretical principles. us, this research seeks to contribute to the contemporary debate on intervention projects in ruins by addressing both material aspects, related to the form and social function of these monuments, and immaterial aspects, which, in this study, refer to the environmental context in which these heritage sites are situated.
Da lei nasce a urbes: a atuação da Câmara Municipal na organização do espaço urbano acariense (1833-1889)

The process of occupation and formation of the first urban centers in Seridó Potiguar was a complex phenomenon, influenced by a variety of historical, religious, social and geographic factors. The emergence of villages and towns took place around economic activities such as raising and agriculture. In the process of urban consolidation, the Town Council played a considerable role, especially during the 19th century, assuming important functions in the organization and control of the urban space. The town of Acari, located in the Seridó Potiguar region, illustrates in an emblematic way the patterns and processes discussed previously. Its development is also linked to local power dynamics and the strategies adopted by the Town Council in the spatial organization and regulation of urban life throughout the 19th century. This work aims to understand how the municipal power of Acari organized and controlled the city's urban space during the imperial period (1822-1889). To achieve this objective, we adopted a historical approach, using the case study method to investigate the role of Acari’s Town Council in urban management during the imperial period. Data collection took place through documentary research in physical and digital files, with an emphasis on primary sources such as minutes of the Town Council meetings, laws, orders, regulations and other documents relevant to the topic. The analysis of documentary sources was carried out based on the content analysis technique, seeking to identify and interpret discourses and practices related to the urban space. The results of the research demonstrate that the Acari Town Council played an important role in the organization of the city's urban space during the imperial period. Through the analysis of the minutes of its meetings, it was possible to observe that councilors discussed and deliberated on various aspects related to urban life, such as the opening of streets, the construction of squares and public buildings, the regulation of commerce and industry and the maintenance of public order.

This dissertation explores how Alice Guy, a pioneer of cinema in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, represented the city and its transformations through innovative cinematographic techniques. The main objective of this research is to establish a dialogue between city and cinema, analyzing the contributions of Alice Guy and her films. The methodology employed is qualitative in nature and uses theoretical, documentary, and bibliographic sources, culminating in the filmic analysis of the following works: "Avenue de l'Opéra" (1900), "Les Résultats du Féminisme" (1906), "Madame a des Envies" (1906), "La Course à la Saucisse" (1907), and "L'Enfant de la Barricade" (1907). The research begins with a discussion of Alice Guy's trajectory, in dialogue with current bibliography, and continues with an analysis of her evolutionary narrative. The investigation also addresses how cinema, since the end of the 19th century, has allowed the urban classes to experience adventures, romances, and other worlds without leaving their homes, thanks to its poetic capacity to engage viewers. Alice Guy explored diverse genres, demonstrating the versatility of the city as a backdrop for different stories. As a result, it is observed that one of the possible perspectives for analyzing Alice Guy's films is directed towards the space-image binomial. From this macro-discussion, questions such as the modern relationship between city and cinema, its representations and its scope, as well as the approximation between the areas of knowledge of Architecture and Cinema, are addressed.

The use of earth as a building material is an ancient practice that offers ecological and thermal advantages, such as humidity control and the ability to reduce noise pollution. However, despite these qualities, the literature on the acoustic performance of earth constructions, especially in the Brazilian context, remains limited. This study aims to bridge this gap by evaluating the acoustic behavior of different earth-based construction systems. The dissertation aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN's 2030 Agenda, particularly those related to Sustainable Cities and Communities and Good Health and Well-being, addressing both environmental sustainability and the impact of noise pollution on health. The objective of this dissertation is to investigate the acoustic performance of homes built with earth construction systems in the Metropolitan Region of Natal, focusing on how these systems contribute to sustainability and environmental comfort. The research adopts a qualitative and applied approach, including a literature review, selection and evaluation of case studies, data collection through acoustic measurements and resident interviews, as well as simulations and theoretical calculations. To achieve its objectives, the study analyzed measurements, calculations, and simulations of superadobe and rammed earth systems. The analysis of five case studies demonstrated that, despite structural and finishing variations in the constructions, all earth construction systems showed significant potential for acoustic insulation. This assessment was based on the parameters of NBR 15.575 (ABNT, 2021), the Brazilian performance standard. Calculations and simulations were essential for achieving a more comprehensive analysis. Interviews with residents revealed a consensus that acoustic comfort is associated with the absence of unpleasant sounds, highlighting the impact of past experiences on choosing constructions that promote tranquility and well-being, elements further emphasized by the integration of the senses in environmental perception.

This research aims to contribute with new possibilities for reading, understanding and representing the relationship between gender, sexuality and public space in the contemporary city based on the subject's urban experience. In this way, a historical and cultural analysis of the center of João Pessoa is carried out, exploring the queer territories that emerged in the context of dominant and heteronormative urbanization. Furthermore, the different forms of resistance present in the urban landscape of the city center are considered, which are related to the concept of "used territory" proposed by Milton Santos. Therefore, the formation of territorialities constructed by dissident bodies is investigated, carrying out an analysis of the appropriations and sociability produced in public spaces such as streets, squares, alleys, sidewalks, staircases and parks in João Pessoa. A time frame for the research is delimited between January and December 2023. As for the main objective, it is proposed to understand how these appropriations and sociability can enhance and qualify the city's public spaces and specific ones (i) conceptually discuss the formation the identities of the subjects and how they operate in urban space, relating this debate to the Right to the City; (ii) conceptually discuss the territorialities constructed by dissident bodies to the sexual and gender binarism; (iii) explore how queer territorialities were formed in the central area of João Pessoa in the temporal and spatial area under analysis; (iv) map, categorize and map the forms of appropriation of queer bodies in the central area of João Pessoa, as well as identify their perceptions of public space, their memories, their habits, their motivations and their expectations for experiencing public space. To this end, some methodological procedures were established, which are arranged in five stages: (i) collection of data from secondary sources (construction of the conceptual theoretical framework); (ii) documentary research; (iii) definitions of the universe of studies/spatial sections; (iv) primary source data collection techniques (field observation, definition of the group of participants and semi-structured interviews); (v) and, finally, ystematization and analysis of observational data and interviews together with the production of social cartographies. As a result of this research, a unified social cartography was developed with the overlay of the most relevant information from the groups interviewed, in addition to a booklet with strategies aimed at qualifying and enhancing queer territories in the center of the city of João Pessoa

The quantitative methods to support decision-making in energy-efficient building design have been evolving due to the energy crises since the 1970s and the current need to reduce CO2 emissions to mitigate climate change. Computer simulations are the primary tool for quantification, and there are several obstacles to their integration into the design process: most of the required building characteristics are defined only at the end of the process; simulation times exceed the designers' tolerance; design space simulation requires high computational cost; there is no discrimination of characteristics by their impact on results; there is no control over result uncertainties, and other obstacles. The objective of this master thesis is to propose an approach to support design decisions regarding the impact on the energy performance of commercial building envelopes, compatible with the early stages of the design process, which range from strategic pre-design definitions to the conceptual design. The scope is limited to hot and humid climates, and the performance is restricted to cooling loads. The proposal's conception is based on the literature review of the main obstacles and available solutions. The development begins by creating an information matrix corresponding to design spaces using Latin hypercube sampling, performance simulated by the INI-C metamodel, and sensitivity analysis using the Sobol method. Graphic interfaces with filters and graphical visualizations are developed for users to explore the design space. The approach's applicability is demonstrated by mapping its use in theoretical scenarios of collaborative design processes since the initial phases. The results confirmed the possibilities of use and improvement of energy efficiency

Classrooms are the main space for exchanging and building knowledge. As speech is the most used instrument for these purposes, its adequate understanding is essential. Speech intelligibility in classrooms depends on environmental acoustic conditioning factors – however, controlling this conditioning depends on specific knowledge and tools. The Education Secretariat of the Government of Rio Grande do Norte, in an attempt to guarantee quality for the schools under its administration, is developing a manual of “Reference Standards for School Operations”, which includes elements of environmental comfort. This manual does not, however, include instructions for acoustic conditioning of school environments. This dissertation seeks to contribute to this manual through the general objective of developing and analyzing architectural solutions for acoustic comfort to support classroom projects in state public schools in Rio Grande do Norte. Analyzing parameters of reverberation time (T30), initial decay time (EDT), speech transmission index (STI) and definition (D50), for classrooms in 3 schools in the state network, different solution models were constructed for each reality, combining flat and inclined ceilings with different proportions of acoustic material area. With reference values supported by recent research, these simulations were carried out to provide a range of possible absorption coefficient values for the material to be applied in each solution. The simulated results for each of the ceiling configurations in all classrooms were analyzed. Based on this, a step-by-step procedure was proposed to be incorporated into the State Government's Reference Standards manual, which includes lining solutions and simulated values. The research found that all classrooms had acoustic parameter values outside the recommendations. It was also found that most proposed ceilings present wide values of difference between maximum and minimum absorption coefficients, enabling a variety of acoustic material choices. A disparity was found between the reference values of T30, EDT, STI and D50, with the STI values being considerably more restrictive than the others.

This research is part of the context of urban transformations in the city of Natal between the 1960s and 1980s, a period that we can call the new cycle of urbanization in Brazilian cities. The object of study is the city's urban issues and the socio-cultural conflicts of the time, considering as parameters of analysis and temporal milestones the studies for the Serete Plan in 1968 and the master plans of 1974 and 1984, which are placed here as a synthesis of more general issues. This work, in an effort related to urban history, then focuses on looking at the master plans as the representation of a context of urban conflicts beyond the law itself. Thus, the general aim of the research is to analyze urban issues during Natal's planning process between 1967 and 1985 and the contemporary developments with regard to urban form as an expression of the events of the time. To this end, the structure of the work will range from identifying the events that took place in the context of the city's planning, making it possible to understand the main urban issues raised during the process, to understanding urban form as an expression of the spatial-territorial dimension caused by these analyzed events. In order to do this, it was necessary to include as a theoretical review issues related to the production of Brazilian cities based on urban plans, focusing on the opening of a new cycle of urbanization from the 1960s onwards, which will gradually enter the local context of Natal, discussing issues related to progress and the need to institutionalize planning. Using the concept of events, we present a narrative of events between the Serete Plans (1968) and the Natal Master Plan of 1984, organized and told from timelines. The methodological procedures involved bibliographical research and an in-depth nominative and filtered search in the Hemeroteca digital as the main source for finding periodicals from the time, as well as interviews in order to also recover an oral history of the discussions on this plan. The last part of the paper brings a visual emphasis to the transformations of the city, in an attempt to relate it to historical discussions and to close an approach that proposes understanding the city as a historical-cultural-urban construct of issues and conflicts that are constructed, reconstructed, renewed and materialized in urban form.

Patos is a municipality located in the interior of the State of Paraíba that has experienced population and automobiles growth in recent years. This expansion, together with the lack of urban planning geared towards people, led to negative results for the city, related to urban mobility and accessibility. Studies on walking is gaining more and more space. Several scholars discuss how some elements of the built environment positively or negatively influence movement via foot. Walkability is a conscious choice for locomotion on foot. This decision provides the user with social interactions and experience with the urban environment, two fundamental points for the construction of community ties. Therefore, the objective of this work is to comprehend how the components of the urban infrastructure of walkway influence the we transit on foot to the downtown of Patos – PB, validating the walkability, not its spatial cut, based on the methodology of practical issues and subjective questions do urban space. For this purpose, indicators and categories of walking have been established and applied to the sidewalks in the downtown of Patos, which have various uses of the soil in the region. The results presents the indicators that we can positively influence people's transit on foot, hence helping the public authorities to improve their spaces and make them more walkable environments.

Currently, one of the most threatened material assets is architecture, mainly due to real estate speculation, the actions of man, bad weather, among many other factors related to the lack of incentives for preservation. Some authors point out that the main causes of loss of historical assets lie in the lack of accurate and clear registration, thus pointing to traditional techniques as tools that have become insufficient in architectural registration for the documentation of historical assets both at national level by the National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage (IPHAN) and at state level by the State Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage (IPHAE). Faced with the current scenario of losses in our country's historical-architectural heritage, it is necessary to use new tools to document historic buildings, with a view to improving traditional systems, since the current ones are slow and limited in the technical recording of historic assets. In this way, given the lack of a fast and detailed documentation system that can act in the management of historical-architectural heritage at both national (IPHAN) and state (IPHAE) level, this research aims to develop, on the Building Information Modeling (BIM) platform, a documentation tool for the preservation of historic buildings with a focus on popular art deco style buildings in the city of Patos in the Sertão-PB. To achieve the objective of this study, the Design Science Research (DSR) research method was applied, used in the methodology of Design Science (DS), which is a science that seeks to create new artifacts in the investigation of solutions to solve problems and improve existing systems. Thus, the research unfolded in 6 stages for the development of a historical-architectural documentation tool with a view to improving the traditional systems for recording historic buildings; (1) Awareness: defining the problem and the first bibliographic studies (studies on the BIM platform and the relevance of Sertanejo art deco); (2) Suggestion: collecting data and studying the premises to propose a solution (developing the documentation tool, the template in BIM); (3) Development: creating the artifact proposed in the previous stage, justifying the choice of tool for its design and how it will be evaluated (Template in BIM REVIT software); (4) Evaluation; detailing how the artifact will be evaluated (the template will be evaluated using two methods of evaluation of artifacts of the method (DSR), descriptive and experimental; (5) Conclusion: finalization of the artifact, in which the data will be analyzed, consolidated and recorded; and (6) Learning: contributions of the work. To achieve the stated objective, Autodesk Revit software was used to develop the BIM models of the façade elements of the art deco sertanejo buildings, plus a base file making up the proposed tool (the Art deco sertanejo Template). The results achieved through the use of the template developed in the study area showed some of the potential of BIM technology in the historical-architectural documentation of the Sertão Paraibano (art deco sertanejo), such as: the integration of information into a single model; speed and control in the documentation of art deco sertanejo buildings; and the identification of pathologies and losses. The contributions of this research were not limited only to the potential of the BIM tool developed, thus documenting the art deco elements present on the façades of hundreds of popular art deco buildings in the city of Patos-PB, through the standard template developed with the families (façade elements), containing qualitative, quantitative and parametric information.
