Casa elo: projeto arquitetônico de tipologias habitacionais com ênfase na flexibilidade e adaptação de tecnologias em poliestireno expandido

Abstract

This professional master's conclusion work consists of the architectural design of a housing unit offered in 6 typological modules for different family conformations with an emphasis on flexibility and adaptation of rational construction techniques. This document consists of a technical report and an architectural project, developed with the aim of uniting solutions and construction techniques that facilitate a sensible and sustainable project in the Northeast region. With this, a project is created that considers the various family arrangements, in view of the constant need for renovations or replacements of housing and the lack of real estate, arising from projects that do not have aspects of resilience. In addition, flexibility is considered to adapt to countless transformations in ways of life and groups of people, such as the reduction of structures and the diversity of family entities on the rise. Professional practice and contact with constructive artisanal processes have enhanced reflections about the architectural needs in the region, and the constructive technologies that use expanded polystyrene and can contribute to the quality of the building. For the development of the architectural proposal, a theoretical-conceptual deepening was carried out on the theme of housing, flexibility, and industrialization of construction, through bibliographic research and studies of design references (precedent or related). Then, the architectural programming was developed, with the definition of dilemmas, project goals, and guidelines, which contributed to the progress of the master's dissertation proposal. Based on this base, and with the help of the course disciplines, the design process was gradually developed and mapped, using various forms of recording, in analog and digital media, from the initial stages of conditioning and design studies to the improvement of the architectural party. As a result of the studies carried out, six typologies were developed, at the level of a preliminary study, and the detailing, at the level of an executive project, of the embryo typology, which makes use of the constructive technology of monolithic expanded polystyrene panels (EPS).
