Habitação modular em pré-fabricados

Abstract

Understanding the plurality in the structure of families, the reintroduction of work in a domestic environment and the popularization of lifestyles that cherish balance in a consumer society, there is a need for the configuration of the domestic space to adapt to this new reality. In addition to this, the current scenery of climate change and the awareness of the limitation of natural resources demands an update to the conventional Brazilian constructive system, in order to reduce the environmental impacts in all sectors of civil construction. Therefore, the present work aims to design a prefabricated module, that can be industrialized, capable of producing different housing typologies leading to expanding space according to the changing needs of each individual. Thus, to the elaboration of the project, it was studied the contemporary means of living, the environmental impacts of the current Brazilian constructive system, and the industrialization of constructions as a way to overcome such challenges. Then, the reality of demand for this housing typology in Curitiba was analyzed, and a terrain for the insertion of the project was designated, due to the urban exodus resulting from the popularization of remote work. At last, architectural references were sought with the purpose of studying the constructive solutions of industrialized housing projects, só to establish the project guidelines to be followed for the elaboration of the project. To summarize, this study reveals that in order to overcome the present challenges it is fundamental to consider the housing architecture alongside more efficient construction methods, that can be industrialized and that allow diverse and flexible housing typologies in an effort to avoid the monotony consequential from series production.
