The Residential Space II Project focuses on collective residential facilities. Treatment of private (private) spaces aggregated within an architectural complex. Emphasis on residential spaces. The metropolis as densification in spaces. Collective building installations. The Residential Space Project II comprises the study of various types of multi-family residential buildings from modernism to the present. The relationships between the residential building and the city are verified, considering temporal, social and residential aspects, among others. During design practice, issues relating to conceptualization, interference and spatial occupation propositions are addressed and developed through research, participatory and experimental methodologies. The selection of problematic or abandoned areas of the city for housing projects aims to fill urban voids through residential use, create positive interference in the urban fabric and the consequent appreciation of the area as a whole.

Conceptualization of the material body. Concept of force and momentum. Binary. Internal and external forces. Center of gravity, static moment and moment of inertia of areas and volumes. Classification of structures: isostatic, hypostatic and hyperstatic. Geometric instability. Actions on structures. Applied loads and reactions. General equilibrium equations. Effect of moving loads. Calculation of displacements in isostatic structures. Behavior of structural engineering materials. Internal forces: normal and shear force, bending and torsional moments. Diagrams. Analysis of stresses and deformations. Constitutive law. Concept of elasticity and plasticity. Concept of resistance, rigidity and flexibility. Work and strain energy. Introduction to spinal stability; critical load.
