Por?m, a crescente urbaniza??o, muitas vezes com uma ocupa??o de solo desordenada, vem desconsiderando esses conhecimentos e desrespeitando as caracter?sticas locais, reduzindo drasticamente as ?reas verdes. Esta ocupa??o desordenada, associada ? redu??o de espa?os verdes, vem modificando os aspectos do clima e, consequentemente, prejudicando o conforto t?rmico dos usu?rios. Perante esse panorama nasceu o questionamento: Quais estrat?gias projetuais podem trazer melhores condi??es t?rmicas a uma edifica??o educacional situada em regi?o de clima quente e ?mido? Assim, diante de dois importantes assuntos, educa??o e conforto ambiental, a pesquisa justifica-se pelo fato de existir uma grande demanda nacional por amplia??es e reformas nas suas redes p?blicas de ensino, mas que na maioria n?o oferece aos alunos espa?os com qualidade para o bom desenvolvimento da aprendizagem. O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a elabora??o de um projeto para institui??o de Ensino Fundamental com a aplica??o dos conceitos da bioclimatologia, destacando o uso da vegeta??o como elemento regulador do clima. Inicialmente realizou-se uma pesquisa bibliogr?fica, analisou-se solu??es arquitet?nicas e definiu-se o local. Na fase seguinte, denominada de compreens?o, foram levantadas as leis, normas e os condicionantes ambientais. Posteriormente, foi definido o programa de necessidades e o desenvolvimento do projeto arquitet?nico. A conclus?o desse trabalho apresenta a defini??o de crit?rios e solu??es para o emprego da vegeta??o, para projetos de arquitetura bioclim?tica em climas quente e ?mido e contribui com um cat?logo de esp?cies vegetais para as escolas da regi?o metropolitana do Natal, RN. / In the design of a building process must consider climatic variations in the region, the external conditions and the use of available resources in nature, like the sun, vegetation, rain and winds, to provide a built environment with comfort and environment reduced energy expenditure. However, increasing urbanization, often with an occupancy of disordered ground comes disregarding this knowledge and disregarding local characteristics, drastically reducing the green areas. This disordered occupation associated with the reduction of green spaces, is modifying aspects of climate and thus, damaging the thermal comfort of users. Given this situation was born the question: What projetuais strategies can bring better thermal conditions to an educational building located in a region of hot and humid weather? Thus, faced with two important issues , education and environmental comfort , the research is justified by the fact that there is a large national demand for expansions and renovations in its public schools , but not in most areas provides students with quality for good learning development. This paper aims to draw up a project for establishment of Primary Education with the application of the concepts of bioclimatic, highlighting the use of vegetation as a regulatory element of the climate. Initially we carried out a literature search; we analyzed architectural solutions and set up the site. The next phases, called understanding, were raised with the laws, rules and environmental restrictions. Subsequently, the program needs and the development of architectural design was defined. The conclusion of this paper presents the definition of criteria and solutions for the use of vegetation to design of bioclimatic architecture in hot and humid climates and contributes a catalog of plant species for schools in the metropolitan region of Natal, RN.

However, the disregard for quality environment, the uncertainties involved in the phenomenon and the popularization of artificial climate systems are held as an excuse for those who neglect the benefits of passive cooling. The unfamiliarity with the concept may be lessened if ventilation is observed in every step of the project, especially in the initial phase in which decisions bear a great impact in the construction process. The tools available in order to quantify the impact of projected decisions consist basically of the renovation rate calculations or computer simulations of fluids, commonly dubbed CFD, which stands for Computational Fluid Dynamics , both somewhat apart from the project s execution and unable to adapt for use in parametric studies. Thus, we chose to verify, through computer simulation, the representativeness of the results with a method of simplified air reconditioning rate calculation, as well as making it more compatible with the questions relevant to the first phases of the project s process. The case object consists of a model resulting from the recommendations of the C?digo de Obras de Natal/ RN, customized according to the NBR 15220. The study has shown the complexity in aggregating a CFD tool to the process and the need for a method capable of generating data at the compatible rate to the flow of ideas and are discarded during the project s development. At the end of our study, we discuss the necessary concessions for the realization of simulations, the applicability and the limitations of both the tools used and the method adopted, as well as the representativeness of the results obtained / A ventila??o natural ? uma estrat?gia bioclim?tica eficaz na promo??o do conforto t?rmico, da salubridade e no arrefecimento da massa edificada. Contudo, a despreocupa??o com a qualidade ambiental, as incertezas envolvidas no fen?meno e a populariza??o dos sistemas artificiais de climatiza??o costumam servir de argumento para os que negligenciam os benef?cios do condicionamento passivo. As incertezas podem ser reduzidas quando a ventila??o ? contemplada em todas as etapas de processo projetual, principalmente nas fases iniciais, na qual as decis?es t?m grande impacto no desempenho da edifica??o. As ferramentas dispon?veis para quantificar o impacto das decis?es projetuais consistem basicamente no c?lculo da taxa de renova??o ou na simula??o computacional de fluidos, comumente denominada CFD, sigla em ingl?s para din?mica computacional de fluidos , ambas com algum distanciamento da pr?tica do projeto e carentes de adapta??o para que possam ser utilizadas em estudos param?tricos. Assim, optou-se por verificar, atrav?s da simula??o computacional, a representatividade dos resultados obtidos com o m?todo de c?lculo simplificado da taxa de renova??o do ar, bem como torn?-lo mais compat?vel com as quest?es pertinentes ?s primeiras fases do processo projetual. O objeto de estudo consiste em um modelo resultante das recomenda??es do C?digo de Obras de Natal/ RN, cujas aberturas foram dimensionadas de acordo com a NBR 15220. A pesquisa mostrou a complexidade em agregar uma ferramenta CFD ao processo e a necessidade de um m?todo capaz de gerar dados na mesma velocidade com que as id?ias surgem e s?o descartadas durante o desenvolvimento do projeto. Ao final discute-se as concess?es necess?rias para a realiza??o das simula??es, a aplicabilidade e as limita??es tanto das ferramentas utilizadas quanto do m?todo adotado e a representatividade dos resultados obtidos

Along with natural scarcity in some regions, this is one of the factors that limit the availability of drinking water. As a result, the conservation of drinking water is becoming one of the major concerns in sustainable architectural projects. Within this context, this dissertation proposes to develop the design of an educational building focusing on water consumption rationalization. The proposed project is located in UFRN Campus at Currais Novos, an area of warm and dry climate and low rainfall. The proposal seeks to integrate ways to reduce water consumption o to architecture, in order to exploit the advantages and savings. After quantifying the benefits achieved, it was concluded that it is possible to reduce significantly the drinking water consumption in educational buildings in universities using three principles: reduction the water consumption at the point of use, replacement of the water source and internal recycling. Calculations and simulations indicated that the proposed building may have water consumption up to 56% lower than if it would be provided by conventional facilities. Rationalization of water consumption brings direct and indirect benefits, with influences on the environmental, social and economic fields / O crescimento urbano sem a infraestrutura pr?via tem provocado diversos impactos ambientais, como o comprometimento da qualidade das reservas h?dricas nas cidades. Juntamente com a escassez natural em certas regi?es, este ? um dos fatores que limitam a disponibilidade de ?gua para consumo. Em fun??o disso, a conserva??o da ?gua pot?vel vem se tornando uma das principais preocupa??es nos projetos arquitet?nicos sustent?veis. Dentro deste contexto, este trabalho se prop?e a desenvolver um projeto de arquitetura para um edif?cio de ensino superior com foco na racionaliza??o do consumo de ?gua. O projeto proposto situa-se no campus da UFRN no munic?pio de Currais Novos, ?rea de clima quente e seco e de baixa pluviometria. A proposta busca integrar medidas de redu??o do consumo de ?gua ? arquitetura, com a finalidade de explorar quais as vantagens trazidas e a economia alcan?ada. Ap?s a quantifica??o de benef?cios das medidas adotadas, constatouse que ? poss?vel reduzir significantemente o consumo de ?gua pot?vel nos edif?cios educacionais em universidades utilizando-se tr?s princ?pios: redu??o do consumo de ?gua no ponto de utiliza??o, substitui??o da fonte de ?gua e reciclagem interna. Os c?lculos e simula??es realizadas indicaram que a edifica??o proposta pode ter um consumo at? 56% menor do que se fosse provida por instala??es hidrossanit?rias convencionais. A racionaliza??o do consumo de ?gua traz benef?cios diretos e indiretos, com desdobramentos no campo ambiental, social e econ?mico

The same tool is applied to analyze the typological evolution of hospital architecture in Natal, Brazil, through a sample of eighteen hospitals built in the city since the beginnings of 20th century. The conclusion is that typological evolution in Natal is almost the same as occidental one, except for a few singularities that can be explained by local social and economic development / Com base em uma discuss?o em torno do conceito de tipo e de seu papel na pr?tica e na teoria da arquitetura, elabora-se um instrumental anal?tico com vistas a reconhecer a evolu??o tipol?gica da arquitetura hospitalar ocidental. Verifica-se ent?o como essa evolu??o tipol?gica se reflete nos edif?cios hospitalares em Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, usando-se para tanto um conjunto de 18 dos 29 hospitais implantados na cidade ao longo do s?culo XX. Conclui-se que o itiner?rio tipol?gico da arquitetura hospitalar de Natal repete o ocidental, a menos de singularidades explicadas pelas caracter?sticas do desenvolvimento social e econ?mico da cidade

A legisla??o necessita estar em constante revis?o e atualiza??o. Em vista ? essa afirma??o, o objetivo principal deste trabalho ? identificar e analisar poss?veis lacunas nas prescri??es normativas sobre evacua??o de inc?ndio por meio de edifica??es universit?rias, visando contribuir para projetos mais eficazes. A quest?o problema a ser respondida ao final da pesquisa ? se existem diverg?ncias e conflu?ncias de solu??es entre as normas prescritivas sobre evacua??o de emerg?ncia utilizadas no Rio Grande do Norte, quando comparadas aos resultados obtidos por meio de simula??es computacionais. Para tanto, realizou-se, inicialmente, uma coleta de informa??es a partir de pesquisas bibliogr?ficas e documentais a respeito do tema, do qual conceitos e informa??es pertinentes foram explicitados. Posteriormente, com base em crit?rios estabelecidos, foram realizadas simula??es computacionais para avaliar o desempenho das sa?das de emerg?ncia nas edifica??es adaptadas ?s prescri??es.

The legislation needs to be in a constant review and evaluation. From this statement, the main goal of this work is to identify, in university building projects, potential gaps in the normative prescriptions about fire evacuation which raise intervention and correction proposals to their better effectiveness. The question to be answered at the end of the research is that there are differences and confluences solutions between prescriptive rules on emergency evacuation used in Rio Grande do Norte, when compared to the results obtained through computer simulations. For such, a gathering of information was initially held through a research in literature and documents concerning the matter. Later, based on established criteria, computer simulations were carried out to analyze the normative prescriptions applied to the chosen buildings. The simulations were performed by two software: PATHFINDER? (2014), related to the escape time and to the movement of the people while on the run; and DEPTHMAP? (2004), concerned the study of the spatial setting and its relation to the movement of the users in the buildings, according to the Space Syntax Theory (SS). From the analyzes results, prescriptive codes gaps were identified, such as regarding the design of the stairs, the maximum number of occupants and the maximum distance to safety; and effective points, as the need of enclosed stairs to decrease the maximum exhaust time. With the findings, gave subsidies to discuss the existing parameters and others that are not yet covered by SCI regulations, and the studied buildings design solutions. It is expected that the work will contribute to future research that deals the addressed issues or aimed at further the study here started.

Com base na problematiza??o de quest?es ligadas ao ensino em geral e ao ensino de AU em particular, pergunta-se: Como os conhecimentos pr?vios dos estudantes iniciantes (EIs), adquiridos por meio de suas experi?ncias (espaciais, principalmente), s?o trabalhados nas disciplinas iniciais do curso? Quais os enfoques mais apropriados para realizar essas leituras? Como o ensino de projeto pode tirar proveito dessas informa??es e incorpora-las ao processo de ensino-aprendizagem na ?rea? Dada a amplitude destas quest?es, assumimos o car?ter explorat?rio do estudo realizado, tomando como hip?teses de trabalho que: (i) os desenhos e textos produzidos pelo EI em AU refletem sua experi?ncia anterior, notadamente seu lugar de proced?ncia/viv?ncia cotidiana, e permitem investigar as singularidades de grupos/turmas; (ii) atualmente as ementas de disciplinas introdut?rias de projeto pouco contemplam tais singularidades; (iii) compreender as caracter?sticas/diversidade dos grupos/turmas a partir do conhecimento dos EIs pode funcionar como elemento did?tico para a forma??o na ?rea de AU. Portanto, o objetivo principal desta tese ? dar subs?dios para a constru??o de diretrizes para disciplinas de introdu??o ao ensino de projeto de arquitetura em cursos de AU. S?o objetivos espec?ficos: (i) entender como o estudo do conhecimento precedente dos EIs se insere nas ementas das disciplinas iniciais de projeto de cursos de AU brasileiros; (ii) compreender os olhares dos docentes de disciplinas iniciais de projeta??o sobre esse conhecimento; e (iii) investigar, a partir de an?lise de turmas iniciais de tr?s escolas brasileiras e uma portuguesa, poss?veis singularidades acerca dos conhecimentos pr?vios de EIs, por meio da compreens?o de sua origem, ambientes de viv?ncia, repert?rio e prefer?ncias arquitet?nicas. Al?m da revis?o bibliogr?fica nos campos do ensino de AU, da pedagogia e disciplinas suplementares, como psicologia ambiental, filosofia, sociologia e hist?ria, a tese se apoia na realiza??o de dois estudos emp?ricos aut?nomos. O primeiro investigou 54 cursos p?blicos de AU brasileiros a fim de identificar o tipo de conte?do trabalhado nas disciplinas de car?ter introdut?rio, as qualifica??es/perfis e opini?es dos docentes sobre o background dos EIs e a utiliza??o did?tica dessas informa??es. O segundo assumiu o formato de estudode- casos-m?ltiplos que investigou desenhos e textos elaborados pelos EIs em atelier, e foi realizado em quatro diferentes escolas de arquitetura: da Universidade de Lisboa (UL) e das Universidades Federais do Tocantins (UFT), do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN) e de Juiz de Fora (UFJF). Os resultados obtidos comprovam parcialmente as hip?teses e d?o subs?dios iniciais para a constru??o de diretrizes pedag?gicas direcionadas ? promo??o da rela??o dial?gica entre o repert?rio trazido pelos alunos iniciantes e os conhecimentos que eles precisam dominar no come?o do curso de AU. / This thesis researches elements which can subsidize the teaching of design in the first semesters of Architecture and Urbanism (AU) course taking students? previous knowledge into account and it is understood as starting potential point to education process at this field front to the importance of encouraging background extension from beginner students (BS). Based upon this premise, from questions linked to general teaching and to teaching of AU in particular, there are the following questions: How students? previous knowledge, acquired throughout their own experiences (meanly spatial), are managed from initial subjects course? What are the most appropriate focuses to do these readings? How can the design teaching takes advantage from these information and incorporates them into the teaching-learning process? According to the extension of these questions, we assume that the exploratory way of this study, taking as work hypothesis that: (i) it is possible to investigate the existing singularities into groups of BS in AU, and they can be seen, meanly, by their perception from their places of living and their drafts/ texts done during this thesis; (ii) the design introductory subjects content nowadays do not behold (or behold just a little) such singularities; (iii) the contact to all this information can favor an adequate approach among students and professors. This way, our main goal is to subsidy the creation of guidelines of introductory subjects to design teaching of architecture at AU courses. As specifics goals: (i) to comprehend how the studying of BS previous knowledge insert themselves into the guidelines of introductory design subjects at Brazilian AU courses; (ii) to comprehend the professors point of view regarding to introductory design subjects; and (iii) to investigate BS previous knowledge from AU courses throughout the comprehension of their origin, living places, repertory and architectural preferences. In this context, this thesis methodologically supports itself into bibliographical review in the field of AU teaching, pedagogy and supplementary subjects such as environmental psychology, philosophy, sociology and history. Two autonomous studying were empirically done. The first one investigated 54 Brazilian AU public courses in order to identify relations among introductory design subjects, the qualification and profile of the professors and their opinion about BS background and the way to consider students? knowledge into subjects of design initiation. The second one assumed the format of a multiple case study and it was done with BS from four different AU courses, in which the understanding about their living places and some products (drafts and texts) were taken in four different architecture schools: University of Lisbon (UL), Tocantins Federal University (UFT), Rio Grande do Norte Federal University (UFRN) and Juiz de Fora Federal University (UFJF). The data collected show partially the hypotheses and give initial subsidies to the construction of pedagogical guidelines towards to promote a dialogue relation between the repertoire brought by beginner students and the knowledgment students need to master at the beginning of AU course.
