Schools are places of learning in which communication is essential for the fulfillment of their function, but most Brazilian schools do not have adequate acoustic conditions. When the spoken message is not clearly heard by the students, the understanding of the speech is affected and, consequently, the learning process is impaired. Good acoustic conditions in classrooms make the learning process easier and less stressful for teachers and students. The resources invested in improvement, in order to promote acoustic comfort, are still seen only as expenses and not as investment in education. The research question raised is: do the classrooms of federal higher education institutions in Natal/RN have adequate architectural acoustics? The main objective of this study is to evaluate the acoustic quality of theoretical classrooms in federal institutions of higher education in Natal, where one or more classroom models are replicated throughout the institution, aiming to propose guidelines for such classrooms with regard to acoustic conditioning. Acoustic parameters were found for this type of research, such as Reverberation Time (T20), Initial Decision Time (EDT) and Speech Transmission Index (ITS), as well as other important controls for speech intelligibility analysis. The methodological procedures consist of the bibliographic research on the subject, as well as the application of field research, in order to ascertain a true acoustic quality of the classrooms studied and to make possible solutions proposals. Acoustic measurements were performed in the classrooms of the Federal Institute of Rio Grande do Norte and the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, where low acoustic quality was found in all classroom standards. From this, we proposed to improve the acoustic quality of the rooms, finding that 50% of area of absorbent material in the lining significantly improves the acoustic conditioning of the room for speech, with better results with 100% of the area of liner material in absorbent and more homogeneous distribution of parameters throughout the room when absorbent material is added to 25% of the posterior wall area. In addition, we found better results in the classroom with a width greater than the depth, among the analyzed rooms.

The aim of this work is to do an analysis of the contemporary city, based on Rem Koolhaas’s thought and focusing the relation between city and building, by questioning that thought, making particular use of concepts and considerations pointed by David Harvey and Henri Lefebvre as a support. Two other particularities are pointed out on the present research: the existing dialectics between capitalism and city development; and the relation between theory and practice of architecture on the context at hand. It is a theoretical-conceptual analysis that makes use of the dialectical approach method, precisely due to the dialectical nature: of the study object; of the way Koolhaas sees this object, in which the contradictory is a fundamental (and dialectal) aspect; of the relation between city and capitalism; and of Harvey and Lefebvre’s conceptualizations utilized. In that way, this research is divided into two parts, the first of which being dedicated to understand Koolhaas’s thought about the contemporary city as a whole, extracting a basis from it, on which the discussion is promoted at the second part of this study. Thereby, the contradictory is approached as a fundamental aspect in Koolhaas’s thought formation and, therefore, as a reading key to the present analysis; in order to analyze the construction of his understanding about the contemporary city. As a result, it is pointed out the culture of congestion and the consumption activity as the fundamental aspects to the discussion realized at the second part, by presenting them questions and making use of Harvey and Lefebvre’s support. Thus, the relation between Koolhaas’s understanding of the culture of congestion and Lefebvre’s vision on the formation of urban and urban society is approached, in order to question the role of architecture in this context and which consequences it brings out, to cities and to society. This question embraces Lefebvre’s everyday life too, with it’s dialectical production of the space, together with society. Finally, making use of Harvey’s considerations about the dialectic between capitalism and the urban process, the contemporary city is discussed related to the consumption activity, also pointing the impact of the changes on the space-time dynamics in the post-modern condition presented by Harvey; and Lefebvre’s everyday life yet again, represented by the bureaucratic society of controlled consumption. Throughout all this analysis, it is identified a transformation of the city and the society (represented on Koolhaas’s thought by the transition from the generic city to the junkspace), from which it is questioned the role of architecture and its consequences.

This research aims to characterize the production of apartments produced by the real estate market from the viewpoint of dimensioning and functionality of the housing spaces, from analysis of the architectural program, dimensioning and spaces distribution, which also considers the users’ ergonomic needs and housing functions. In this sense, our study object consists of the analysis of housing plans’ from the five main builders’ companies of the city of Natal (RN) with areas between 45sqm and 60sqm and between 2005 and 2015, a period of high housing production in the city. For that, our analysis method proposes an adaptation of Alexander Klein’s methodological research, which criteria are: a) preliminary examination; b) reduction of projects to the same scale; c) organization of circulation and movement areas’; d) concentration of empty areas; e) relation between the plan’s elements. The results reveal in that the standard of living offered by the real estate market has similar areas and topological patterns, although some geometries and furniture layout may vary. In this sense, our contribution is to expand the discussion about housing quality in it relation with the built environment especially in the sense of dimensional e functional quality.

In Brazil, the theme of social and environmental inclusion of people with disabilities has been discussed in several areas. In architecture, such debate has been linked to the concept of Universal Design (understood as the basis for ensuring accessibility to the physical environment and the search for adequate solutions to human diversity) and strategies that promote greater participation of users in the design process. In this sense, it is important to emphasize the need for the professional to master techniques for the development and presentation of proposals that are easily understood by the clients, regardless of their limitations. In this question, this research investigates a way to facilitate communication between the designer and the deaf user (whose major limitations are precisely in the field of interpersonal communication), in order to enable: (i) the first one to understand the relation of deaf people with built environment; (ii) the second understands the design proposal and actively participates in the process of its design. Theoretically the work is based on some concepts of Communication and DeafSpace. Empirically, simulations were performed of some residential environments with a three-dimensional physical model manipulated by deaf people, accompanied by interviews and observations. The experience occurred in the city of Mossoró/RN between October and November of 2017 and had the participation of 12 deaf people of both gender. The results point to the effectiveness of the methodology, which facilitated the communication between the parties and allowed the understanding of some concepts of architecture, accessibility and Deaf Space, all hardly identified through methodologies used in the area, as interviews and questionnaires. We highlight the importance of using prototypes in the development of future research related to environments for deaf people.

It is estimated that the energy saving potential in new buildings can reach 50% (PROCEL, 2015). Several studies carried out for the Natal-RN climate reinforce this trend and have demonstrated a vast potential for reducing energy consumption in buildings, in addition to identifying the significant influence of architectural features (LIMA, 2007a; SIMAS, 2009; RODRIGUES, 2014). However, a choice of architectural solutions based only on the potential of reducing energy consumption is very restricted. The support in economic criteria and the adherence to existing regulations, such as RTQ-C, make the decision-making process more comprehensive and appropriate. This dissertation analyzes the implementation of architectural alternatives in a public building project in the Natal/RN climate, based on the comparison of its economic impacts and energy performance. By means of computational simulations, the implementation of 8 (eight) recurrent alternatives in two partially conditioned buildings of the type B PROINFÂNCIA / FNDE program project was analyzed. The impacts on the reduction of the consumption of cooling energy, on the level of energy efficiency of the envelope by the RTQ-C and the economic feasibility were verified. Almost all alternatives showed efficiency in minimizing the consumption of cooling energy, with a reduction potential of up to approximately 26%. However, only four of them are able to raise the label level to "A". As for viability, only four were feasible, which occurred much more due to the substitution of materials for cheaper ones than for the financial benefit of reducing energy consumption. The results show that the alternatives with better energy performance may not represent the best solutions of a project. In both buildings, the solution that most positively impacted the energy efficiency in relation to consumption and labeling (alternative "b": Clear colonial ceramic tile with precast slab lining) proved economically unfeasible. The alternative "c" (clear colonial ceramic tile with plaster lining) was the only alternative that, in addition to being feasible, also reduced the consumption of both buildings and reached level "A" label, which also contributed to highlight the effectiveness of the use of light colors on the roof.

This work evaluates the daylight potential in office rooms with fenestration systems oriented to East considering occupant behavior. Despite the benefits and great availability of solar irradiance in low-latitude zones, it is common to underuse daylight due to the relationship between fenestration systems and occupant behavior. The glare and VDT contrast leads occupants to close the blinds, generating insufficient daylight, obstructed outside view and increasing energy consumption. The shaded systems are determined by shading masks with parametrical variation of window size and visible sky factor (VSF), and are simulated for performance analysis on Rhinoceros/Grasshopper/DIVA platform. The occupant behavior is identified through field research with application of questionnaires, and it is categorized as active, passive and intermediate. The daylight performance considering occupant behavior is evalueted through spreadsheets and the results are translated into simplified design recommendations. There is a potential use of daylight and less influence of occupant behavior for the cases with large windows and mobile external devices. It is recommended to increase the window size and reduce the VSF to fixed shading devices, associated with active users to increase daylight depth. Systems with no shading devices, small windows and high VSF should be avoided.

The education of children aged 0 to 5 years in day care and preschool has been increasingly valued in recent decades, as related the need of parents working outside as to reasons for the development of the child. By the way, the universalization of primary education has become an essential point for an effective learning in primary and secondary education, reducing repetition and increasing success in basic education. The Proinfância Program was created in this context, searching to expand the offer of basic education, besides offering support for the acquisition of equTherefore, the research seeks to understand the implementation of day care's standard projects provided from FNDE and the adjustments for this building in the city's contextipment and furniture. The FNDE provides, through this program, several standard projects for the construction of schools financed by the Union, a practice very common in Brazil. The point is that standard designs demands flexibility to allow adjustments to the site's unique conditions and produce a better architecture quality than nowadays, however, in this case, there is no space for changes. Therefore, the research seeks to understand the implementation of day care's standard projects provided from FNDE and the adjustments for this building in the city's context. The first step was the literature review, then, the technical analysis of the "type B" project, then the case studies in two institutions, including technical visits, interviews with school staff and with Municipality Education Secretary’s (SME) architects. The results of the school analysis shows that the standard design needs several revisions in order to improve your performance, mainly in many room areas, the appreciation of outsides areas, general environmental comfort, etc. In addition, the spaces needs more flexibility for layout and usability changes.

Natal, capital city of the state of Rio Grande do Norte has witnessed the spreading of the modern architecture language since the 1930s. However, from the 1980 decade, there has been a fierce phenomenon of dilapidation of older buildings, especially modernist ones, mostly located within economically valuable areas, which have been intensely subject to high-rise constructions. This process has motivated the assemblage of iconographical records – textual and imagetic information concerning modernist and pre-modernist buildings – about local architecture, collected from course work carried out by undergraduate students since the 1980s, which have been housed in the archives of the research group on Morphology and Use of Space (MUsA - Morfologia e Usos da Arquitetura – UFRN). This dissertation is part of such effort. In view of the opportunity to bring together those iconographic fragments in order to compose a panorama of the architecture produced in Natal between the years 1930s and 1980s, a repository of data concerning the recorded buildings, some of which scattered from different sources, was constructed and organised in file cards (137 academic work pieces originated 222 cards), which enabled the morphological analysis of each case, and its classification. This was accomplished in the light of valuation criteria tables based on a formal canon derived from the views expressed by authors who approach the subject of modern architecture, focusing on the Northeast region. The criteria include three categories: (1) the building-plot-block-surroundings relationship; (2) built shell; (3) structure/construction aspects; (4) spatial aspects; (5) environmental/climatic adaptations and (6) other elements. A panorama of modern architecture in Natal was, therefore, outlined and classified into four morphological groups: the first (1930-1950) comprises the proto-modern production that displays the first signs of architectural renovation in Natal; the second (1950-1960) reflects the dissemination period of the modern formal lexicon in Natal, when the plastic possibilities of reinforced concrete were being highly explored; the third (1860-1970) witnesses the diffusion of exposed natural materials and façades in which structure and sealing elements are distinguished. The fourth, and last group, contains the architectural production that prevailed in the 1970s and 1980s, stressing affinities with brutalist manifestations, and the adoption of formal elements borrowed from Brazilian colonial style.

This study addresses relations between form and use of architecture with the aim of investigating whether morphological changes regarding open spaces shared by a housing community might have exerted over the way people use those spaces. It aims to shed light on whether and how the reallocation of a self-built organic settlement – Favela do Maruim – to a regularly schemed, state-funded housing estate – Conjunto São Pedro – led to alterations in the way people used common open spaces in their previous environs. Guided by the Space Syntax theory (HILLIER; HANSON, 1984), the investigation approach stems from the assumption, that architectural form is structured by masses (buildings) and voids (permeability) that offer possibilities and restrictions concerning moving, being and seeing, and, therefore, define potential fields of co-presence and movement by individuals in space. The hypothesis underlying the case study was that because the morphological nature of the housing estate diverges from that of the Favela settlement, spatial relations are altered from the micro to the macro scale, thus prompting changes in patterns of co-presence, use of communal areas and interaction among diverse individuals in space – inhabitants, visitors and strangers (insiders and outsiders). In the Housing Estate the self-defensive logic of nearness among residents that existed in the Favela was subverted and replaced by another more similar to that which prevails in the city as a whole, with a higher potential of encounter fields. The less enclosed arrangement appears to threat the resettled population, bringing about the discourse of fear, which enforces reclusion inside an area severed from the public space by walls and barriers. In the search to test the hypothesis, comparative studies of potential and real instances of encounter were carried out by means of spatial representation and analysis and of in loco observations regarding actual use in the Favela and the Housing Estate. Space syntax analysis was applied to quantify the insertion of each settlement in the city grid, in topological and metric distances, to gauge accessibilities “by foot” and “to the eye”. In order to understand the relation between the built mass and the structure of open spaces, local uses and relations between public and private spaces were analysed. To understand the real uses of space, the data gathering process included the observation of pedestrian movement and physical traces of space; and enquiries about the ways people use common areas, by means of semi-structured interviews. The results show that the Favela configuration, disorderly and less integrated with the city urban grid, outlined an enclave that decreased the potential encounter field between insiders and outsiders. Internally, a stronger hierarchy and cohesion concerning diverse accessibility catchment levels (local, vicinal, to the feet or the eyes) privileged the use of certain open spaces by the inhabitants. Those points that showed strong public/private connections, worked as extensions to the houses and as confluence points for encounter, pedestrian flows and activities. In the Housing Estate, on the other hand, a homogeneous, less hierarchical internal structure, with low cohesion concerning accessibility levels, less openings connecting closed/open spaces and higher integration to the city grid, stimulate the interface between insiders and outsiders, whereas restraining the potential encounter field amongst inhabitants. On an effort to overcome the limitations of the architectural spatial form, inhabitants persist on being in the Housing Estate common areas, an occupation apparently consubstantiated by the presence of construction fences that approximates the Estate’s spatial structure to the Favela’s enclave logic, setting it apart from the city continuous space and consolidating barriers, which at any rate, are becoming the norm, concerning residential premises in Brazilian cities.

Rivers are important structural elements of the urban fabric, but they also suffer greatly in this process. Urbanization poses serious threats to its own springs, creating a conflictive relationship where, while the city essentially needs water to survive, it pollutes, channels and waterproofs its rivers and floodplains, deforests riparian zones and destroys possibilities of reinfiltration of the water in the soil. The process of recharge of the water sources can not keep up with the continuous increase in the demand for water in the cities, causing systematic lowering in the reservoirs and, consequently, scarcity. The Metropolitan Region of Natal, on the other hand, presents an ambiguous relationship with its rivers, placing them as important sources of supply and development while, on the other hand, it leaves them to suffer with an occupation process incompatible with the support of urban infrastructure existing and with the environmental characteristics of the territory, receiving waste from industrial and agricultural activities and numerous clandestine sewage connections throughout their courses. The Pitimbu River shows itself to the city of Natal already in the middle of century XX, when its growth in the south direction reaches then this new natural barrier. What happens, then, when the city meets this Rio? With rural characteristics and slow growth, the advance of urbanization in the region took hold from the 1970s. The Pitimbu River cuts along its course parcels of territory of the municipalities of Natal, Parnamirim and Macaíba, members of the Metropolitan Region of Natal (NMR); and its microbasin, which is part of the Pirangi River basin, is an important recharge area for one of the main sources of drinking water for NMR - however, the phenomenon of urban occupation jeopardizes the development of Rio's environmental functions, with deforestation, erosion, pollution and silting evident at various points along its course, as well as the pressure of the real estate market and informal occupation in the area. At this point, we must ask: how do the characteristics of occupation and urban development interfere with the capacity of recharge of its sources? Is it possible to reconcile the process of urban development with the preservation of water bodies and springs, or rivers with their banks and forests? Considering, on the one hand, the hydrographic basin as a basic unit of territorial planning (given its capacity for integration between the natural, socioeconomic and cultural aspects of the territory); and on the other hand the set of public policies and urban planning instruments currently in existence, this study aims to analyze the urban development process from the perspective of the water cycle, from the observation of the relationship between the configuration of the occupation of the territory and the biophysical characteristics of the environment. Thus, it is sought to contemplate the urban site as a whole, including the natural aspects and its articulation with human action, and for this reason the integrated analysis of the territory is possible thanks to the spatial analysis of the phenomenon analyzed and the integration of the data by thematic mapping. The aim of this study is to provide subsidies for the territorial planning of the region, serving as the basis and orientation for the formulation of public policies appropriate to the capacity to support the environment and the installed or planned infrastructure conditions; bearing in mind an occupation based on urban-environmental criteria that seek to reconcile the growth and development needs of the cities with the preservation of their water supplies and the maintenance of the ecological balance.

The essay Junkspace (2001), by Rem Koolhaas, brings to the mind of those who read it a generic contemporary landscape filled with subliminal and ideological messages and diluted in a chaotic amalgam which is apparently ordered through the ubiquity of globalization.The essay, circular in its structure, seeks to describe through allegorical operations of rhetoric, the spaces that, in their forms, express the process of contemporary modernization - therefore, Junkspace is adopted in this investigation not only as a concept, but as a theoretical piece that emulates a specific language related to the spatial production of the 21st century. It is on the basis of these findings that it becomes possible to use Junkspace as a reading and understanding lens, through which one can glimpse the logics of the present time inscribed in the spatial forms of our cities. There is, therefore, the object of study of this thesis: Junkspace as concept and language and the understanding of the urban phenomenon, its questions and logics, currently. As a consequence, the aforementioned essay is used as the primary source of this research, setting up a theoretical and methodological nature for this work: on the one hand, we try to investigate the possibilities of questioning, in the light of an urban cultural debate, the contemporary city through the reading keys found in Junkspace and on the other hand, to anchor, from the discussion engendered by the essay and its relationship with the selected theoretical frameworks, a vision that identifies and problematizes the existing Junkspace. Therefore, the general objective of this work is to understand Junkspace under the prism of a theoretical and practical discussion about contemporary cities in order to contribute to the academic debate on the theme of spatial dynamics, related to the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. To achieve this goal, a critic was built in a way that clarifies conflicts and parallels in the contemporary urban phenomenon from Junkspace, based on authors such as Walter Benjamin, Fredric Jameson, Hal Foster, Susan Buck-Morss, Gilles Lipovetsky and Vladimir Safatle, among others. In addition, Junkspace's method of reading the urban environment was carried through the elaboration of workshops and with an exercise of perception about the factual dimension of contemporary cities. In the end, this paper intends to contribute to the theoretical field of architecture and urbanism, as well as offer other ways of discussing and apprehending the current urban question.

The creation of Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) belongs to a process that set up higher education units in many Brazilian states in the beginning of the 20th Century. During its early functioning years, the university’s activities took place in buildings that had hosted former independent colleges, distributed in many addresses along the city’s central neighborhoods. Only after 1968, with the Reforma Universitária (University Reformation), a paradigm shift started, structuring courses in a university campus. Concentrating activities and buildings inside a university campus represented a modernity ideal, opposing the traditional university model, fragmented and complying with principles of efficiency and rationality of university organization. These interventions were based on the Manual produced in 1970 by American consultant Rudolph Atcon, which proposes guidelines such as functional zoning and street hierarchy, which alongside rationalization, flexibility, expansion and integration principles coincide with the ideal of a modern city preconized by the Athens Charter. Employing these principles resulted in a broad university campus, distant from the city’s urban network and with a street structure that privileged automobiles. This idea was materialized trough the proposition of flexible, modulated buildings with standardized constructive components, with a notably brutalist aesthetic composition. As a large educational institution, its functional dynamics constantly goes through changes and modernizations, both by pedagogical and infrastructure perspectives. Therefore, throughout the years, there is a permanent free space demand for extending departments, building new structures, and renewing premises with new equipment. The community’s (students, docents, technical employees and city’s residents) lack of recognition on the cultural value of UFRN’s Central Campus modernist ensemble makes preserving these buildings even more difficult. Therefore, this study starts a process of knowledgement and recognition to this modern ensemble lesser known nationwide, identifying modern architecture attributes in its most significant exemplars.

This dissertation addresses relations between architectural form and urban animation, founded on a case study of Praia da Pipa, RN, Brazil, a costal settlement well-established as a national and international visitor destination. It was seen that the spatial arrangement of public roads affects differently the potential for movement and encounter in the various localities that comprise the municipality of Tibau do Sul, of which the district of Pipa is one. It was also seen that some sections of Baía dos Golfinhos avenue, a narrow street situated in Pipa but away from the beach and with no view to the sea, attracts pedestrian movement in a greater proportion than any other point on the road grid of Tibau do Sul. It is here proposed that over and above the privileged natural attributes of Pipa and its surroundings, the overall access structure explains that inflow. Accessibility parameters regarding movement potential and human activity on the streets, as explored here, are based on the theory of The Social Logic of Space (HILLIER, HANSON, 1984), which relates the spatial structure to social, economic and environmental phenomena. It has been examined the extent to which the spatial structure encourages street animation and how it relates to the permeability of private premises alongside the public realm. Results indicate that in the notoriously animated and popular meeting spots of Baía dos Golfinhos Avenue, the busiest areas are the ones topologically privileged, sided by non-residential buildings which open onto the street, whereas tracts that are highly accessible but offer poor building-street interfaces, show little or no animation. It is thus suggested that the informal occupation pattern prevalent in most settlements of the Tibau do Sul’s municipality – a segmented road grid coupled to a dense land parcelling filled with buildings directly permeable to the roads – favours pedestrian movement, whereas bulky plot occupation – usually impervious to the roadways – or the grounds left empty as land stock, inhibit pedestrian activity. This kind of occupation, mostly found in expansion areas, tends to a vehicle-dependent movement mode, which is poorer in animation, whose nuances may be explained by the combination of diverse levels of road accessibility and of public-private interface patterns. The construction of a road ring – also investigated – has had little impact on the access structure, while apparently contributing to extend the area of vehicle-dependent circulation. As a conclusion it is proposed that the architectural form of voids, the space, carries animation to where the architectural form of solids, the building interface, welcomes it.

Among the digital technologies used in the architecture design process, BIM stands out. According to Kowaltowski et al. (2013), BIM brings the idea of an integrated project practice from the early stages of design. The various designers involved in the project participate in a collaborative way from the beginning of design, making the projects compatible in a single model. In spite of studies on the use of BIM in Brazil, it is necessary to advance in research on the subject, such as studies that reflect the current dynamics of the collaborative process and the integration of disciplines with the aid of BIM technologies between architecture and engineering. In this perspective, the overall objective of this work is to characterize collaborative processes aimed at the integration of projects, resulting from the implementation of BIM technologies in Natal/RN architecture offices, while the specific objectives are: to conceptually understand BIM technology, collaborative processes and integration of architectural and complementary projects; to raise and understand collaborative processes aimed at integrating projects using BIM technology between architecture and engineering offices, taking into consideration the international, national and Natal/RN contexts; identify categories of collaborative processes that aim to integrate projects, considering the cases analyzed; and explore the professional environment of use of BIM in Natal and in the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN). Considering the objectives listed, the research is exploratory. As methodological procedures, the study of multiples of collaborative design processes between architecture and engineering offices, based on semi-structured interviews, was carried out, and content analysis was carried out, according to Bardin (2011). Parallel to the study of multicasos, an online consultation was done through an electronic form with the architects of the RN in order to understand the use of BIM in the design process. The results show that, in relation to the analyzed cases, Natal-RN presents two scenarios of collaboration: in the first, the complementary projects are modeled from links with the architecture proposal, and then the interference is verified, which does not are performed automatically with specific revision tool, but in the modeling software itself based on visual observation. In this scenario there is greater possibility of data inconsistency and redundancy. In the second scenario, the collaborative process, although presenting similarities to the previous one, regarding the modeling process and the professionals involved, the use of specific coordination and revision tools during the integration of the disciplines contributes to the reduction of data inconsistencies. Considering the online consultation the results indicate that approximately two-thirds of RN architects still use CAD applications in the design process. However, most intend to use BIM tools, which is a growing trend in the use of BIM in Natal-RN. Thus, from the results, it is concluded that there is a need for advances in the professional environment of Natal-RN regarding the use of BIM, both in the use of the technological resources that enhance the collaborative processes of the offices, and in the project practices aimed at collaboration with the help of BIM.

This research assesses the influence of correlated color temperature (CCT) of artificial light and the integration with daylighting on academic students’ performance and sensations, in warm climate in low latitude (5,84 S, 35,20 W). The issue was motivated by the fact artificial light interferes in person's circadian cycle, which regulates sleep, alert, appetite, and other conditions. Such biologic clock is related to the daylight CCT hourly changes, from yellow at sunrise and sunset, to white direct sunlight and light-blue overcast daylight. The artificial light does not to match the sun’s own color shifts throughout the day and consequently disturbs the cognitive performance, attention, visual comfort and wellbeing sense. This research questions similar effect in low latitude, with abundant daylight availability, acknowledging the fact the literature regards, majority, light conditions in medium and high latitudes. The research procedures consist in assessing performance and sensations of volunteers, academic students, through test and questionnaire, during three periods: morning, afternoon and evening. Toulouse-Piéron's Test assessed attention and perception, measuring the speed and accuracy of a simple task. A following questionnaire was applied in order to quantify the self-declared sensations of lighting comfort, attention, relaxing and environment comfort, varying from null to five scale. Three different CCT fluorescent lamps available in the market were tested in a classroom, yellowish white (3000K, warm), bright white (4000K, neutral), blueish white (6500K, cold), integrated and non integrated with daylighting during morning and afternoon. The registers were statistically analyzed using the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and ordinal logistic regression, identifying morning as the only period influenced by CCT variations. The comparison among the three periods resulted in a tendency of blueish white light (6500K, cold), mainly when integrated to daylight, improving performance and comfort, attention and relaxing.

The experience in Sérgio Ferro, Rodrigo Lefèvre and Flávio Império, from the Arquitetura Nova Group, based on the Brazilian political, cultural and artistic context of the years 1960-1970. They contributed to renewal within the modern Brazilian architectural production by the "poetic and economics in architecture”. The proposal considered the technical knowledge of the academic formation. Artigas exerts influence on the group, as well as other São Paulo architects and their constructive approaches, the political position and the experience of the worker. The objective was to propose economic solutions, low cost, the use of alternative constructive technologies, unconventional, without superfluous elements. Architecture was the result of the systematic application of economic decisions. Their experiments were pre-molding, initially employed in projects of rich residences. However, it was an innovative proposition aimed at popular housing. The poetics of the economy took a few years to appear. We find its meaning when we observe the writings and reflections of the group in the professional performance, the critique of the construction site and the political strategies for a constructive approach focused on the minimum useful, minimum constructive and minimum didactic. This work will investigate the origin of these three economic factors. Show poetics and economy, an architectural expression linked to the Brazilian modernity identified in contemporary architects of the group; and present the perspectives for a poetic and economic architecture in the contemporary world.

Sound pollution is already considered by the World Health Organization (WHO) to be the second largest cause of pollution in the world. In a general context, urban development was accompanied by the accelerated growth of cities and the increase in the circulation of motor vehicles, causing higher levels of noise pollution. Urban environments present complex acoustic scenarios and their studies need to consider the participation of various sound sources and their impact on the population of the city. When evaluating possible solutions, the computational models become facilitators, since they make possible quick calculations, analyzes and reports. With this feature, it is possible to know the sound pressure levels at any point in a modeled area by means of direct reading on the noise map. The research problem consisted of: in what way is the traffic noise spatialized in the road system in the municipality of Natal? For this, it is hypothesized that in the municipality of Natal / RN, the arterial and collector routes are found at sound pressure levels above those recommended by the legislation. Therefore, this research has as general objective to evaluate the quality of the sound environment and its relation with the road network in the city of Natal / RN. The methodological procedures consisted of the collection of traffic data (light and heavy vehicle flow), paving maps, gauge, densely green areas and road works. After the data collection, acoustic maps processed through the SoundPLAN® Software were elaborated and analyzed. These maps were calibrated based on quantitative acoustic measurement data in loco. When analyzing the results, it was verified that the vehicular flow follows a pattern of growth based on variables such as width and length of the track. The increase in the vehicular flow generates an increase in the sound pressure levels, and consequently almost the entire municipality is above the values recommended for comfort by the current legislation

In this thesis, the question is if the architectural projects developed in final undergraduate works express the concern with the place, regarding the relation building-site and the choice of materials and constructive systems. In other words, what is the tectonic expression of the final undergraduate works in the framptonian sense. The thesis subject of study is the insertion of the tectonics in the architecture projects developed in the final undergraduate works of Architecture and Urbanism schools of Brazil in the last five years. These universities were selected by their tradition in academic research and critical reflection in the area of architectural design, the recognition in teaching quality, the existence of a Post- Graduation in architecture project and the tradition in research and teaching in the area of technology. The purpose of the study is to understand how the architectural projects developed in the final undergraduate works of Architecture and Urbanism schools of Brazil are expressed tectonically, considering the topographical and cultural dimensions of the place, especially, the importance of the constructive materiality of the architecture and the tectonic expression while Construction. The hypothesis is: a significant part of the students of the Architecture and Urbanism courses does not clearly demonstrated , in the architectural projects developed in their Graduation Final Work ,the consideration for the particularities of the site / place where the build will be placed to define the architectonic party and in the incial development of ideas. They also does not consider the cultural context before choosing materials and the constructive systems that it will be adopted. It happens , mainly because of the design culture more grounded in form and function, relegating the tectonic dimensions to a secondary plane. The research used, as a methodological procedure, the analytical and interpretative research by direct observation and analysis of the Final Work of Graduation, in the area of Architectural Design, of architecture and urbanism schools considered as reference in this field in Brazil. The work used technical procedures for multiple case studies, the approach being essentially of a qualitative nature. It has been realized that there is a disparity in the format of development of the Graduation Final Works from the schools and that this is due to the specific norms on the Final Works in which the guidelines are established for the development of the Works. In addition, it is believed that comparing what was perceived in the Graduation Final Works with the bibliography worked helped to perceive the pertinence of the analysis in these projects from the perspective of framptonian tectonics, taking into account a group of characteristics related to the implantation site that, according to the author, are essential, to the design exercise. The results obtained also allowed the confirmation of the research hypothesis.

The initial urban nucleus of the City of Natal, classified as Urban Historic Site by IPHAN (National Institute of Historical and Artistic Heritage), changed little its spatial configuration during most of its history, but started to undergo more significant changes since the end of the 19th century, extending into the first half of the following century, in the context of the urban modernization process that occurred in many Brazilian cities. These modifications, however, were not able to alter the strong historicist atmosphere which is both present and inherent in this nucleus, unlike subsequent modifications, still ongoing, that seem to be increasingly interfering in the perception of the historicity of the place. Having this issue as a starting point, this thesis raises the question of how the spatial changes in the Historical Site of Natal (SHN) that took place from the second half of the 20th century onwards have affected the historicity that is still part of the local ambience, as perceived by the city residents. The hypothesis put forward is that the ambience of the Historical Site of Natal is distancing itself from its historical quality, as its physical, social, economic and cultural features have been altered more intensively over the last decades. The thesis object matter is, therefore, the urban form transformations and the SHN historicity perception; its general objective is to understand the SHN historicity from the standpoint of those who live or have already lived and know the place. The research follows two theoretical and methodological paths – urban morphology and environmental perception – both of them within a historical approach. It also considers the following procedures: bibliographical and photographic analysis and the analysis of documents; morphological and architectural styles analysis (with the support of an inventory); online questionnaires containing photographs and sensitive walking itineraries taken in the SHN and noted down by the researcher in a field diary. The results confirm the many transformations of the SHN urban form and their perception by those who took part in the survey, who regret and display dissatisfaction with the local government, seen as responsible for the problem. As a consequence of such transformations, the research participants opinions indicate that the local historicity has been threatened, even if they still feel involved in a historical ambience produced by minimal details visible on the buildings facades and on the monuments found in the public space which in some cases confuse and transmit the local cultural heritage improperly. The negative feelings are always presented in contrast with the positive ones and the materiality of the urban form is perceived better than the immaterial aspects. Such elements show the need for investment towards an effective Integrated Conservation policy for the cultural heritage of Natal.

This work, developed from a bibliographical and documentary research, adopting as a methodology Discourse Analysis, investigates the relation between Tourism, Propaganda and Heritage and the Federal Government, during the government of Getúlio Vargas (1930 to 1945) in Brazil, with the purpose of identifying the use of these three areas as tools of political and ideological support for the group in power by the time. Based on selected letters from Oswaldo Aranha's political correspondence archive, available at the Access database of the Center for Research and Documentation of Contemporary History of Brazil (Centro para Pesquisa e Documentação de História Contemporânea do Brasil - CPDOC), School of Social Sciences of the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (Escola de Ciências Sociais da Fundação Getúlio Vargas - FGV), an overview of interlacing of the triad Tourism-Propaganda-Patrimony with the political purposes of Getúlio Vargas in that period. The development of tourism was observed from the evolution of the means of transport, whose expansion is connected to the arrival of foreign airlines in Brazil, especially the German and North American. The advertising resources used to publicize Brazil abroad were the aid for publishing books (English and Spanish) and magazines (English) distributed only internationally, participation in international events, organization of art exhibitions, opening of information agencies, tourism and advertising agencies, Brazilian commercial agencies abroad. Also in this item, the Department of Press and Propaganda – (Departamento de Imprensa e Propaganda - DIP) in the control of internal advertising, events and tourism, stands out. In the field of Heritage, there was a perceive of a national identity that could be adopted as the essence of Brazilian and, furthermore, could unite them, but its use to meet the public and several objectives: internally, should meet to the hegemonic groups - the elites - and to the working population; externally it should arouse the interest of businessmen, investors, politicians and the US population itself, presenting Brazil as a country whose history goes beyond indigenous tribes, blacks, favelas and mocambos. In this topic, the classification of Ouro Preto as a national monument, the creation of SPHAN and its purpose of defense of the national urban-architectural patrimony are examined. The bibliography reflects the intentions of build a positive image of Brazil, and its governor, aiming to gain international confidence, from its rulers until the population in general, as a way to obtain financial resources and political support to guarantee the country's economic growth and security.

This thesis approached the theme of the socioenvironmental attributes of environmental protection zones which affect and are affected by road projects inserted in metropolitan dynamics. The motivation for this work came from observing recurring occupations in environmental protection zones (EPZs) by road projects, which implied in the suppression of relevant socioenvironmental attributes. More precisely, it was identified in the 2000s that the EPZ 9, located in the northern zone of Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, when receiving fractions of the road project for the Moema Tinoco da Cunha Lima avenue, with metropolitan incidencies, generated many socioenvironmental conflicts with potential to compromise the objectives of its protection. In the face of this problem, it was questioned: how were the socioenvironmental attributes considered in instruments of urban planning and in road projects which had some kind of incidence over environmental protection zones? It was assumed that, even though advances were observed in the protection of EPZs in the scope of territorial planning, the socioenvironmental attributes of these zones were not taken in consideration regarding their urbanistic dimension, with their specific aspects at road project level, nor their respective effects in the process of sociospatial transformations impulsed by the reffered project being taken into consideration. This resulted in the compromising of the protection objectives of those EPZs and the success of implementing urban mobility projects. Considering what was exposed, the object of study of this thesis was delimited by the socioenvironmental attributes of the EPZ 9 related to the strokes of the road project, legal framework and urban dynamic. The objective was to comprehend the approach towards the socioenvironmental attributes of the EPZ 9 in the road project of the Moema Tinoco avenue, starting from the urbanistic dimension of the road project, urban and environmental legislation and the transformations in soil occupation and use in the EPZ 9. In the theoretic-methodological field, the main references are the studies of Raquel Tardin (2008), as to support the analysis of the socioenvironmental attributes, and Jan Gehl (2013) as a basis for the analysis of the road project in its human dimension. Both analyze the space from the relation between man and nature. This thesis is structured in three chapters and a conclusion. The first chapter shows the theoretic-methodological references which lay foundation for its analysis. The second shows the characterization of the socioenvironmental attributes and the process of the social recognition of the EPZ 9. The third chapter approaches the road project over the EPZ 9, discuting notoriously the effects and tendecies in the transformation of the use and occupation of the soil in the EPZ 9, influenced by the road project. Lastly, the conclusion shows that, even in the face of the advances in the protection of EPZs in the scope of territorial planning, the socioenvironmental attributes are still not being recognized enough in the conception of road projects, weakening both environmental protection and the functioning of road projects.

Nowadays is possible to observe the return of research, even in national or international context, that seeks alternative materials instead conventional ones, in industrial uses, with emphasis in biomass residue, as fibers and vegetal resin, looking to minimize the problems caused to natural environment and to substitute harmful products to human been. This research aims to produce composite materials with pineapple leaf fiber, designed in this work as PALF, and bi-component polyurethane derived from Castor Oil, destined to architectonical components and furniture production. Brazil is one of the biggest world producers and exporter of pineapple, and the states of Paraíba and Rio Grande do Norte are the largest producers in the country. So, to develop this work, the research was organized in three steps: Step I – Analysis of theoretical and documental contend related to study theme, and systematization and analysis of collected material; Step II – Experimental procedure: composite modelling and essay; Step III – Use viability analysis of composites to architectonical components manufacture. To produce these composites was tested four fiber concentrations variations, 0%, 15%, 30% and 40%. After modelling process, that was done by compression at room temperature, the physical essays was accomplished – humidity content, water absorption, and thickness grow; mechanical essays – flexion, tension, and impact – and thermal analysis – TGA/DTA. As results, must be said that the values increases when considered the PALF concentrations in composites, so, composites with bigger quantity of fibers shows better mechanical resistance, however, higher humidity content, water absorption and thickness grow. The results of mechanical essays are above of the minimal standards defined by technical specifications used, and very similar of the correlates researches; the physical essays comply with these standards mentioned. The composites varies from 610 kg/m3 to 800 kg/m3, showing to be possible to classify as composites panels, as standard ANSI A208.1/2006. The panels made with concentrations of 30% and 40% of PALF was the most appropriate for use in architecture. The parametrical modelling shows itself important to emphasize the possibility of the use of composite panels from PALF and Castor Oil to manufacture architectonical components and furniture, confirming the coherence of the comparative analysis between physical and mechanical results, the actual standards in national and international scenery for composites panels. Must be highlighted the extend of related researches with the develop of new technologies and alternative materials, aiming architectural and engineering applications.

The places away from the intense dynamic real estate of Metropolitan Region of Natal (RMN)/ Brazil – as the municipalities of Parnamirim, São Gonçalo do Amarante, Macaíba and Extremoz – reveal transformations of the rural (or semi rural) land in urban from the spreading from the spreading of the supply of new plots, houses and apartments; consolidating standards of expansion of the periphery and of the increase in the stock of residential real estate in occupations with no qualification of urban equipment, urban infrastructure networks and services compatible with user demand. In regions with intense verticalization process by the center city of Natal and their localities bordering the municipalities referred to above – in parts of overflow between them – intensifying the population density and overloading the infrastructure/ urban services system. In the last 15 years, the resulting design of the action of real estate agents - builders, investors, users and public authorities – strengthens and repercussions on the occupation of urban land for new residential real estate enterprise of RMN and generates the debate on the issue: how do the recent actions of real estate agents lead and concretize the locational decisions of the incorporators involved in the arrangement of the mass production process of domiciles from Functional Metropolis (MF) of Natal – composed of the municipalities of Natal, Parnamirim, São Gonçalo do Amarante, Extremoz e Macaíba – between the years 2011 and 2016? Therefore, the general objective is to understand the current participation of the real estate business dynamics in the socio-spatial configuration of Metropolitan Area of Natal, capital of Rio Grande do Norte. To achieve this purpose, part of the analysis of empirical data collected in Incorporation Register – registered between years from 2011 to 2016, of the cities mentioned – , such as those related to the characterization of the enterprises; of the incorporator; of the legal structure of real estate incorporation; and, of financial agents. From the theoretical-methodological contributions, it is evident that the quantification of supply of residential enterprises structure the MF by accented rhythms in Parnamirim and São Gonçalo do Amarante and the tendency of urban expansion with territorial discontinuity toward Macaíba. The general panorama is of pattern repetitions of land prices and of offer and of billing of incorporators according to the localization of the enterprises in the territory. The research supports the argument that the closer it gets to the real estate-tourist axis of MF – seafront and South and East Zones of the city of Natal – the incorporators invest large financial resources e and reach high profit rates.

The thermal sensation of elderly people in their home environment has not been explored much in Brazil. Most studies focus on the thermal comfort of young people. However, the number of elderly people is growing in many countries, and in Brazil this population is estimated to more than triple by 2050 in relation to 2010, which will mean 29.75% of the entire Brazilian population. The ageing of the human body entails a number of physiological changes that impair the body's thermal regulation mechanisms and exert a negative influence over the individual's thermal sensation. In hot climates regions, extreme heat may have an impact on the health of this population, who are exposed to aggravating risks of hyperthermia and dehydration. Our objective is to build a predictive model to determine the index of thermal comfort for the elderly in a hot climate zone, taking into account their perception of weather variations in the city of Campina Grande city, situated in Paraíba State, Brazil. For that purpose, an experimental study was carried out between April and December 2016 with 340 not bedridden, healthy people aged over 60 inside their homes, in the subject city located in the semi-arid region of the State of Paraíba. The analytical study was based on inferential statistical analyses, and the responses of the sample units (elderly people) to thermal sensation categories (hot, comfortable and cold) were transformed in Probit estimations to elaborate thermal sensation graphs and determine thermal comfort parameters. Then, by applying the statistical technique of multivariate analysis (canonical correlation analysis) the thermal comfort index for elderly people (TCIEP) was determined. The results confirmed the hypothesis that elderly people are more sensitive to cold and more tolerant to heat in hot climate regions. Finally, it was concluded that the TCIEP represents, with a 95% confidence level, the thermal sensation behavior of elderly people in the city of Campina Grande.
