The city has to accommodate these differences and be adapted architectonically to enable the integration of all its dwellers. The idea driving this project is the belief that architectural planning is a potential ally in furthering the social inclusion of people with a disability or reduced mobility. This study thus deals with issues related to their access to cultural facilities, particularly by raising questions concerning the specific legislation and technical standards created to help people with disabilities. Specifically, the aim was to analyze accessibility in seven municipal cultural institutions in São Carlos city in upstate São Paulo, two of which are in outlying municipal districts. Public cultural buildings were chosen for study in the belief that a person with disability should have the same opportunities to participate in cultural life as any other person, thus becoming integrated into society. Cultural spaces should be duly adapted and accessible to the various forms of perception, locomotion and communication characteristic of an inclusive society. All cultural buildings in the chosen area were visited and, using a checklist stipulated by the Brazilian Association of Technical Standards (NBR 9050, 2004), the public spaces were classed as adequate or inadequate with respect to their accessibility to people with a disability (either visual or physical).The data collected was subjected to quantitative analysis by scoring the commonest accessibility resources, according to their adequacy, as well as the resources not installed. The results show that in all the items analysed, both in the internal and external spaces of the buildings under study, there is a need for adaptations, installations or the building of equipment that allows the physically or visually disabled to interact with the environment in the cultural spaces they choose. By indicating the state of the art in the chosen city, this study contributed to the body of knowledge in the area of accessibility. / Ser acessível é a condição que cabe a um ambiente, espaço ou objeto para ser utilizado por todas as pessoas, já que a diversidade é característica dos seres humanos. A cidade precisa respeitar estas diferenças e deve ser de seu interesse estar adequada arquitetonicamente, de modo a facilitar a integração de todos os indivíduos que nela residem. Considerando o planejamento arquitetônico como aliado na promoção da inclusão social da pessoa com deficiência ou pessoa com mobilidade reduzida, esta pesquisa tratou de questões relacionadas ao acesso aos bens de cultura pelo deficiente, levantando questões referentes à legislação e as normas técnicas, criadas para beneficiar a pessoa com deficiência. Teve-se por objetivo fazer uma análise da acessibilidade em sete instituições municipais de cultura da Cidade e dois Distritos Municipais de São Carlos, interior do Estado de São Paulo. A escolha por edifícios públicos de cultura se deu pelo direito da pessoa com deficiência participar na vida cultural, em igualdade de oportunidades com as demais pessoas, se integrando a sociedade. Todos os prédios foram visitados e, através de um checklist baseado nas Normas da Associação Brasileira de Normas Técnicas NBR9050, 2004, foram registrados os espaços adequados e inadequados em relação à acessibilidade de pessoas com deficiência física e visual. Após a coleta, os dados passaram por análises quantitativas, pontuando os recursos de acessibilidade mais comuns, sua adequação e os recursos não instalados. Os resultados mostram que em todos os itens avaliados nos espaços externos e internos dos edifícios, são necessárias adequações, instalações ou construções de facilitadores que permitam ao deficiente físico e visual a interação com os ambientes nos espaços culturais escolhidos. Este trabalho contribuiu com a construção de conhecimento na área, apontando o estado da arte na cidade estudada.

Public universities often maintain their own design offices and teams responsible for planning and management of physical space, as well as for the supervision of building processes and others, which have a relation to society. This research aims to study and characterize design process and physical space planning and management inside public universities, through the systematization of processes and of internal flows of activities and information and, also, by identifying the key problems within these processes, as well as the relations between such processes and institutional planning instruments such as Urban Master Plans and Institutional Development Plans. The work presents a literature review and case studies of three Brazilian public universities, focusing its planning and design offices. As its main results, we present a diagnosis of the maturity stage of planning and management of the built environment processes within those institutions, characterize best practices related to those processes and propose some guidelines for project development in public universities. / As universidades estão em constante processo de expansão física e adaptação, demandando planejamento, projetos e investimento de recursos em infraestrutura. Muitas universidades públicas possuem escritórios internos de projetos, e equipes responsáveis pela gestão e planejamento do espaço físico, assim como pelo acompanhamento e fiscalização das obras e processos, os quais têm uma relação com a sociedade. A presente pesquisa visa estudar e caracterizar o planejamento e a gestão do processo de projeto e do espaço físico dentro das universidades públicas, através da sistematização dos processos e fluxos internos de atividades e informações e da identificação dos principais problemas existentes nesses processos, assim como a relação desses processos com instrumentos de planejamento institucionais, como Planos Diretores, Plano de Desenvolvimento Institucional. O desenvolvimento do trabalho está estruturado em revisão bibliográfica e na realização de estudos de caso junto a três universidades públicas, tendo como objeto da pesquisa seus órgãos de planejamento e escritórios de projeto. Como principais resultados a dissertação apresenta um diagnóstico do estágio de maturidade dos processos de planejamento e gestão do ambiente construído nas instituições, caracteriza boas práticas de gestão e planejamento das instituições investigadas e propõe diretrizes para o desenvolvimento de projetos junto às universidades públicas.

In a city like Natal, (5o South) the incidence of sunrays in any type of design should be a constant concern for all the architects. Besides, this habit of avoiding insolation in the environment is not a common practice. Within this context, the present work has the objective to dig deep into the knowledge of solar control, studying some cases and verifying its function according to the orientation and the original design of the building, having in mind if the shade elements usually used in the region have achieved their purpose of providing protection against the incidence of direct sun rays. This study considers the position of the shade element (horizontal and vertical), the angle formed between them and the respective facades, and the local of the buildings in relation to their orientation during the summer, winter and equinox solstice. As supporting instruments the solar map of the city and the protractor, for measuring shade angles, were used. It was concluded that in all the cases studied, it was not possible to obtain the maximum use of the elements. It was verified that the best type of shade element (more efficient) for the city of Natal is the mixed type (horizontal and vertical) and that the vertical shade elements are more efficient in the early mornings and late afternoon. The horizontal shade elements are used more effective at midday. We intend to present the results of this study to the architects in the region in order to show them the correct ways of using the shade elements according to the possible orientation on the facade, as a supporting tool at the time of designing a project as well as a subsidy for further discussions on the elaboration of the new urban standards for the city of Natal/RN / O presente trabalho apresenta o uso de elementos arquitet?nicos como forma de prote??o aos raios solares em edif?cios p?blicos. Em uma cidade como Natal (5? sul), a incid?ncia dos raios solares em qualquer tipo de projeto deveria ser uma preocupa??o constante para todos os arquitetos. Entretanto, o h?bito de proteger a edifica??o da insola??o n?o ? uma pr?tica comum. Dentro deste contexto, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo se aprofundar no conhecimento do controle solar, estudando alguns casos e verificando sua funcionalidade de acordo com a orienta??o e seu desenho original, tendo em mente que os elementos de sombra geralmente usados na regi?o t?m o prop?sito de dar prote??o contra a incid?ncia direta aos raios solares. Este estudo considera a posi??o do protetor solar (horizontal e vertical), o ?ngulo formado entre eles e as respectivas fachadas, al?m do local da edifica??o em rela??o a sua orienta??o durante os solst?cios de ver?o e inverno e equin?cio. Como instrumento de apoio foram utilizadas as cartas solares para a cidade e o transferidor de ?ngulo de sombra. Conclui-se que em todos os casos estudados, n?o foi poss?vel obter m?ximo proveito destes elementos. Foi verificado que o melhor protetor solar (mais eficiente) para a cidade do Natal ? o do tipo misto (horizontal e vertical) e que os elementos verticais s?o mais eficientes no come?o da manh? e final da tarde. Os elementos horizontais s?o mais eficientes pr?ximos ao meio-dia. Pretende-se apresentar os resultados deste estudo aos arquitetos da cidade para indicar as formas corretas de uso de elementos de prote??o ao sol, de acordo com a possibilidade da orienta??o da fachada, como ferramenta de aux?lio ao projeto, como tamb?m, que esta pesquisa possa servir de subs?dio para futuras discuss?es na elabora??o do novo c?digo de obras para a cidade de Natal/RN

Neste trabalho descrevem-se as transformações arquitetônicas e construtivas do edifício público de saúde na cidade de São Paulo, principalmente, a partir da segunda metade do século XIX, com o desenvolvimento da cultura cafeeira, o advento da República e a estruturação do Serviço de Saúde Pública. Especificamente, identificam-se as intervenções físicofuncionais e técnico-construtivas ocorridas no período de 1998 a 2002, em uma série de hospitais públicos, construídos a partir de uma mesma tipologia, na Região Metropolitana da Grande São Paulo. Os resultados mostram que esses hospitais, concebidos em 1986, continuam atuais diante das alterações e reestruturações implementadas no seu espaço físico, visando abrigar novas unidades funcionais e equipamentos, possibilitando a execução de novos procedimentos médico-hospitalares / Abstract: Throughout the centuries the hospital has turned into a social institution, becoming a complex building, sheltering specialties and multiple medical equipment that is reflected in its conception and design. In this paper the architectural and constructive transformations of the public health building are described in the city of São Paulo, mainly, from the second half of the XIX century, with the development of the coffee culture, the coming of the Republic and the structuring of the Public Health Service. Specifically identified are the physical-functional and technical-constructive nterventions that happened from 1998 to 2002, in a series of public hospitals all built from the same typology in the Metropolitan Area of Great São Paulo. The results show that those hospital buildings, conceived in 1986, continue to be updated due to the alterations and restructuring implemented in the spitals, seeking to shelter new functional units and equipment, making possible the execution of new medical/hospital procedures / Mestrado / Edificações / Mestre em Engenharia Civil

In recent years, the energy shortage has become a barrier to social development as there is a shortage of resources, especially non-renewable resources. In order to improve the current situation of human settlement for future generations, a series of environmental protection activities and rational utilizations of natural resources have been carried out at a global level on the theme of "Sustainable Development". Along with the quantitative growth of Chinese public buildings, especially the Large-Scale Public Buildings, the levels of energy consumption are rising and this phenomenon has been seen as a key point of energy management from a national view. This paper discusses the realities of energy consumption and the energy-saving policies of public buildings in the world’s major developed countries, and sums up the current condition of Chinese energy consumption in relation to public buildings. With regard to these factors, this paper tries to find approaches for solving the existing problems in each construction section. Less developed construction technology in China leads to a waste of materials and labor force. There is a lack of professional personnel to handle the operational management and a lack of consideration for energy efficiency in the designing process. There is not a suitable framework for compiling statistics and data on energy consumption. There are still many management problems such as inadequate policy standards in operability or implementation, unclear positioning in governmental management, ineffective incentive or punitive mechanisms, and a defective state system which results directly in an undeveloped service system for energy efficiency. Based on all of the problems listed above, this paper suggests solutions in four areas, namely Policy, Energy Statistics, Management and Education, in order to give academic support for the overhaul of Large-Scale Public Buildings towards greater energy efficiency in China.

This diploma thesis deals with the design of a mountain hotel with a roof structure made of a reinforced concrete shell. During designing three types of design were assessed. The aim was to find out which of the design solutions is the most suitable for the behaviour of a reinforced concrete structure. The Dlubal RFEM program was used to assess and calculate the internal forces in the structure. In this thesis I also deal with the design and assessment of individual elements of the selected design solution. The thesis also includes drawings of construction plans and drawings of reinforcement plans.

The general topic of te diploma thesis is revitalization and renewal of the town of Velké Němčice. This work is focused on the historical center of Velké Němčice, especially on renewal of the objects of the culture house, cinema and the municipal office, the public areas and the connection to the rest of the area. The core of the work brings a detailed proposition of the reconstruction and reworking of the existing public objects with the adjacent public areas. Another part of the work covers a concept of utilization of adjacent site of the local parish. The point of the work is to create a compact cultural center with the emphasis on permeability and usability, using incorporation into the current urban structure and demarcation of the functional program. The object should become an important cultural point of multifunctional usage to not only hold public events, but also be a public space for the hobbies of the town. Additionally there is an emphasis on the creation of high quality entrence space with a direct connection to the adjacent surroundings, which will help their further development.

In this thesis project I try to make visible the complex problems behind the plastic pollution crisis, the skewed ideas of synthetic plastic and recycling we as consumers are taught, and in what way architecture can help make these systems visible. This is achived through a design method of growth and transformation using plastic waste to create a building that uncovers what would otherwise not bee seen.
