TOP ESP EM ARQUITETURA V

Deepen critical and analytical capacity, in addition to stimulating design practice linked to the constructive aspects of architecture.

TÓPICOS ESPECIAIS EM ARQUITETURA XLVII

Tectonics belongs to the foundations of an architecture that articulates itself as culture and presence and that is expressed in the constructive, structural and material form in the creation of architectural space. The purpose of the course is to investigate the concepts that underlie tectonic design decisions, through the analysis of reference buildings in the field of architecture, built at different times and locations, according to the approach proposed by Kenneth Frampton and other authors.

Architectural context and architectural language. Scale, proportion, architectural elements and graphic analysis. Volumes and three-dimensional model. Composition and intention. Architectural references. Introduction to project practice.

The workspace project deals with spaces where productive activities are carried out. Discusses, through design practice, functional activities in the specialized spaces of projects. The concept of “work production”, its formalization and insertion in public and private spaces. Analysis of works similar to the given program. During design practice, issues relating to conceptualization, meaning and proposals for occupying the space are addressed and developed. The discipline is exercised by groups that come together around pre-prepared proposals, based on approved questions that guide the development of the work. Participating in the work groups are: students, teachers of project subjects who work in coordination and supervision, teachers of basic content areas, who intervene according to their specialties, and laboratory technicians who provide technological assistance.

Analysis and design of residential architectural space. Study of shape and volume. Dwelling, living. Being, resting, producing, recreating within the scope of the residence. Organization and structuring of space on the housing scale. Study of the relationship between the residential building and the site and surroundings, observing physical, typological characteristics, proportion and scale. Flows, circulation and connections in internal environments and between them and external environments. Continuity of studies carried out in Introduction to the Project (ARQ1101), deepening aspects such as: study of form and volume, analysis of architectural space, organization and structuring of space. The study of spatial relationships and proportions between sectors, environments and the exterior space of a residence. The study of the dimensioning of residential space, sectors and environments, through the critical and concrete use of space and furniture through the analysis of real examples visited, survey and recognition of the living spaces themselves and encouraging each student to search for these notions. The relationships between the architectural object and the site and immediate surroundings, observing typology, proportion, scale and physical characteristics, solar orientation, topography, existence of watercourses, vegetation, neighboring buildings, among others. Notions of design methodology and timeline for evolution. Initial notions of structure.
