Varandas: qualidade habitacional para o bem-estar do usuário: anteprojeto de um edifício de uso misto em Natal/RN com ênfase nos conceitos de qualidade habitacional e a promoção do bemestar do usuário

Abstract

This professional master's qualification work consists of the development of the architectural design of a mixed-use building in Natal/RN, emphasizing the discussion of the architecture of well-being as a means of qualifying living. This document is composed of a technical report and the development of the architectural project. As a result of the behavioral changes resulting from the covid 19 pandemic, especially in the residential environment, it was possible to perceive a growing interest in horizontal buildings. In Natal and the metropolitan region, it was possible to identify, through the interpretation of satellite images, the expressive crowding in horizontal condominiums during the pandemic. In that scenario, social isolation as one of the most effective practices in combating the spread of the disease led many people to develop illnesses, such as depression. It is believed that families residing in multifamily buildings were the most affected, especially due to the spatial limitations that are often characteristic of this housing model. From the previous reflections, the question is: how should vertical multifamily projects respond to the space of living, especially in the post-pandemic? The hypothesis is that multifamily residential projects centered on the well-being of users should respond to the main demands of today and tomorrow. In this way, the general objective of the work is to develop an architectural proposal in the form of a preliminary design of a mixed-use building conceived from the perspective of well-being. To achieve this, we seek to research the main spatial and behavioral transformations of users in the residential environment during the covid 19 pandemic, study design guidelines based on the concepts of well-being, quality of life and the person-environment relationship and apply, also in the design process guidelines that can validate an architecture based on this concept. Methodologically, systematic studies in dissertations, theses and various articles with related themes were carried out, with the intention of providing a theoreticalconceptual basis so that, subsequently, the architectural proposal would be supported technically as well as theoretically. Studies of indirect references in several projects were carried out, which significantly helped in the programmatic and plastic definitions of the building under development. Based on the disciplines taken in the referred program, the design process was being developed and improved, generating interesting discussions regarding the concept of the project, its architectural approach, the intentional choice of the land, the studies of urban conditions and prescriptions and, finally, the development of a satisfactory project proposal.Thus, the result is reflected in a mixed-use building with 6 floors and 24 housing units divided into 04 different typologies per floor and with the possibility of making its plans more flexible. With a total built area of 2,919.52m², in addition to the private units, the project included, in the common areas, environments consistent with the results of the research made available in the theoretical-conceptual framework. The intention is to encourage collaborative discussions on the topic of quality housing. It is expected, with this partial work, to be meeting the minimum requirements for continuation in this program, so that the development of the work results in collaborative discussions for those most interested due to the relevant theme of living with quality
