No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertação - Eliana Rodrigues Tiago.pdf: 2112972 bytes, checksum: d836184b4807c4cb3cc29ba3767589d4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-03-12 / FAPEAM - Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado do Amazonas / Place Identity is based on our experiences throughout life in certain contexts or environments, which somehow had meaning in our existence and contributed to our composition as psychological beings. The house has not only physical meaning such as shelter and dwelling, but also emotional and affective meanings which are historically constructed by the residents in their social relations. This way, there's close relationship between cultural, social, economic and psychological aspects in the formation of identity of place. This study aimed to investigate the meanings and identity of place and their implications in shaping the social identity of the inhabitants of houseboats in the city of Coari-AM. The research of qualitative descriptive exploratory approach included a multi methods approach to better understand the environmental relations of the floating dwelling. The techniques adopted were: a) documental research along governmental bodies to obtain data on the housing and its occupants; b) participant observation along with , photographs and spontaneous interviews with old residents and c) semi-structured interviews with 30 residents (25W, 5 M) aged 18 years or over resident for at least six months at the place. The results showed that the people who live on a floating house embody in their own history the cultural experiences from the amazon environment, that is, its geophysical environment e the cultural practices in that relation, including the joy and the suffering as time passes by. The cultural waves signalised the city bay as the only possible housing in town. Living in a floating house in the city bay is far away from being a fancy environment. Living at the river surface is to foresee either the physical and social difficulties. Living over the waters is to float while they hope to be recognised as citizens. On this territory, the occupant is not recognised by the others, such as city administrators, as they live in a non-existing territory, they have no streets, no land, not even an address. The residents believe that due to living on this place, the city does not give them opportunities. Their invisibility is so evident that over them are thrown the city leftovers. Living in this place is to be socially invisible and to have always to fight to be recognised as citizen with all the needs regarding their social economic conditions, even with the consolation of being privileged to see the horizon on the river. / A identidade de lugar é formada por nossas experiências ao longo da vida em determinados contextos espaciais ou ambientais que, de alguma forma, marcaram ou marcam nossa existência e contribuem para a constituição como sujeitos psicológicos. Os significados físicos como abrigo e defesa são atribuídos à moradia, mas além desses, a moradia é concebida como categoria analítica e apresenta aspectos subjetivos devido aos significados emocionais e afetivos atribuídos pelos seus ocupantes. Desta forma, há estreita relação entre os aspectos espaciais, culturais, sociais, econômicos e os aspectos psicológicos na formação da identidade de lugar. Este estudo teve o objetivo de investigar os significados e identidade de lugar e suas implicações na formação da identidade social dos moradores de casas flutuantes na cidade de Coari-AM. A pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa exploratória descritiva incluiu a proposta de multimétodos para melhor compreender as relações socioambientais da moradia flutuante. Como técnicas foram adotadas: a) pesquisa documental junto aos órgãos públicos municipais para obtenção de dados oficiais sobre as moradias e seus ocupantes; b) observação participante com registros em diário de campo e fotográfico e entrevistas espontâneas com moradores antigos; e c) entrevistas semiestruturadas com 30 moradores (25F, 5M) com idade igual ou superior a 18 anos que residentes há mais de um seis meses no local. Os resultados obtidos apontaram que o sujeito morador de casa flutuante incorpora na sua própria história as vivências culturais do ambiente amazônico como também as mazelas sociais a que são submetidas ao longo do tempo. As ondas culturais sinalizavam a orla da cidade como única moradia possível na cidade. Morar em casa flutuante na orla da cidade está longe de ser um ambiente de glamour. Viver sobre as águas às margens da cidade é ter sempre à vista as dificuldades de posse, de mobilidade e de inclusão social. Viver sobre as águas é boiar na espera de um reconhecimento de cidadania. Neste território, o seu ocupante não é reconhecido pelos demais habitantes da cidade e pelos gestores públicos, pois lá não tem terreno, não tem rua, as casas não têm endereço. Os moradores acreditam que, por morarem nesse lugar, a cidade não lhes oferece possibilidades e sobre eles são jogados os restos da cidade. Morar neste lugar é viver o estigma da invisibilidade social e ter que lutar sempre para ser reconhecido como cidadão urbano com todas as carências próprias de sua condição socioeconômica, mesmo com o consolo de se sentir privilegiado em poder vislumbrar o mais lindo horizonte do rio.

This interior design practicum is the design of three floating houses located on Granville Island, Vancouver, British Columbia. They are spatially efficient and aid in human-nature connections through the manipulation of thresholds. The adaptation of small spaces is best accomplished through the use of multifunctional space, efficient storage, and manipulation of views. Linking of spaces and the blurring of thresholds is best accomplished through the use of implied axial linkage to the exterior and through the addition of ornament. The human-nature connection, or biophilic design, is best accomplished through the integration of direct, indirect, and symbolic experiences with the natural environment. This is accomplished through the variation of ceiling heights, linking internal and external views, integration of natural light, and use of natural materials that vary in texture and reflectance value.

Over the past century, sea level has risen nearly eight inches along the California coast and climate scientists suggest substantial increases in sea level as a significant impact of climate change over the coming century. This project explores the concept of creating a sustainable living environment for seaside residents in Redwood City as an alternative to permanent construction on land in the event of a substantial rise in sea level. This project will generate a flood-resilient design solution that is capable of rising and falling with the water. In order to ensure the well-being of the inhabitants, I will analyze a number of case studies, notably the Netherland’s water dwellings, New Orleans’s amphibious residences and Sausalito’s floating communities, for the purpose of identifying key themes that will facilitate the construction of a single-family amphibious residence in Redwood City. This project is a response to environmental design challenges raised by ongoing atmospheric events such as the gradual rise in sea level and disastrous events such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005 where extreme flooding due to failed coastal defenses exhibited catastrophic effects on coastal residences, its inhabitants, and the surrounding ecosystem.

Strachotín is a village on the edge, not just from geological point of view, but in the sense it´s next development too. Currently it´s main problem is, that it does not offer anything specific to become interesting for turists. There are not the best wine, architecture, accomodation, catering or public services. What it does have is undoubtedly the best view of Palava massif. It is not used at all and that was the main reason that led me to think of building at the pier so this attribute could be finally used for further development of this village. For this purpose i chose the object gallery of wine which is missing here and is also welcomed by it´s citizens.
