Avaliação pós-ocupação e design de interiores: uma experiência didática

Abstract

In recent decades, the Architecture and Urbanism have demonstrated a particular interest in the relations between person and environment. One of such initiatives is the incorporation of Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) to the design process as an evaluative strategy of the physical and functional aspects of the built environment and the perception and behavior of users. Although the AU's experiments show positive results to their incorporation in the design process, the academic background in Interior Design also includes such them atic superficially. In this context, this research discusses the use of POE’s methods and techniques as a complementary approach to the Project exercise in interior design, in academic context. The methodological approach divided into two stages: 1) construction of a experts panel about teaching POE in undergraduate and post graduate studies in AU; 2) teaching experience (based on the results of the previous stage), in the POE supported the development of an interiors project of library, which involving Walkthrough, Technical and Functional Assessment, Behavioral Map, Wish Poem, Questionnaires with users, Findings Matrix and Recommendations Board. The POE results show that: (i) the students had a differentiated interest in the relationship between user needs and design solutions; (ii) most of the methods / techniques was well received, while there was some difficulty in ownership. The projective proposals were analyzed during advisory sessions to the project and with participation of the head teacher, based on the comparison of the solutions presented with the findings of Mother and Table recommended. It was found that the POE influenced the new projects in relation to the formal solution and functional adopted, and enriched of the students in oral speech.
