O papel do arquiteto como líder nos processos relacionados à engenharia simultânea vinculados à comunicação na construção civil

Abstract

Based on the importance that the civil construction has for the brazilian economy, with an analysis of the problems that are generated in the execution of works due to lack of management and introduction of new technologies to the sector, the present work presents a reflection on the role of the leader in the implementation of concurrent engineering in civil construction. This concept is already used in other sectors of the economy with the objective of reducing project time, introducing innovations, increasing product quality and process efficiency. For this purpose, the general objective was to analyze the role of the architect and urbanist by developing this function through the assignment of communicator. The development of the work was done through bibliographic studies based on the themes discussed, analyzing the concurrent engineering within the civil construction, verifying which changes the traditional project process would suffer in case of its implementation and how good management is crucial for these changes performance. Leadership-related items, such as the key features and models of leadership and team management were also studied, as well as what would be the ideal way to apply concurrent engineering. Finally, the role of communication within these processes was evaluated. After studying these themes, analyzes were made on the graduation of the urbanist architect to develop the role of leader of the project, using as basis the bibliographies and curricular analysis of the main universities of Curitiba - Paraná. The work conclusion was that, despite of having many gaps in its formation, the urban architect is still considered the most qualified professional to play such role, especially because of his interrelationship with the others involved in the various stages of the process.
