Metabio: projeto arquitetônico de requalificação para uma instituição de ensino com enfoque nos princípios do design biofílico. Orientadora: Dra. Glauce Lilian Alves de Albuquerque. 2024. 124f. Dissertação (Mestrado Profissional em Arquitetura, Projeto e Meio Ambiente) - Centro de Tecnologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2024.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/63140This professional master's degree completion work consists of a technical design proposal for the requalification of a school building with a focus on the principles of biophilic design, located in Natal-RN. Biophilic design is a way of creating environments using natural resources, aiming to improve the health and well-being of those who live there. Biophilia aims to rescue natural environments and bring them to built spaces. Understanding that biophilia can contribute to improving the quality of school spaces, the work aims to develop a requalification proposal for the Alberto Torres State School, based on the principles and strategies of biophilic design. For the development of the project, a theoretical-conceptual deepening of the topic and the target audience was carried out, through bibliographical research, design reference studies and field research. With the help of the subjects taught in the course, initial studies were carried out on the universe of study and users, as well as on environmental, physical and legal aspects. Then, the design conception and path, the architectural programming was developed with the identification of dilemmas and the definition of design goals, the definition of the concept and architectural design, the carrying out of studies and simulations through environmental comfort strategies. The results found consist of a requalification proposal that sought the optimized use of the existing building structure, insertions and adjustments that would bring more docility to the space, without disregarding issues linked to building maintenance. Furthermore, the inclusion of natural elements in physical spaces allows for good use of these spaces, which will be reflected in the relationship between users and the environments, consequently contributing to improving the teaching-learning process offered by the school. It is concluded that the discussion about the importance of studies on school architecture in the theoretical and practical spheres allowed the development of a product that portrayed the reflective process arising from carrying out theoretical-design studies and research. This design solution is expected to meet the set objectives.Acesso AbertoProjeto arquitetônicoDesign biofílicoRequalificação escolarmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::ARQUITETURA E URBANISMO
