Estuda a arquitetura residencial urbana em Espírito Santo do Pinhal, região paulista de economia cafeeira. Insere-se no contexto de produção de casarões urbanos patrocinados pela riqueza acumulada pelo café, edificados no final do século XIX e início do século XX, constituindo importante acervo arquitetônico do ecletismo e da história do ciclo cafeeiro no estado de São Paulo. A abordagem teórica apóia-se especialmente em autores como Maria Cecília N. Homem; Nestor Goulart Reis Filho; Carlos Lemos; Maria Ângela Bortolucci. Documenta e analisa 34 casarões representativos desse período. Destaca a importância do estudo da arquitetura da burguesia cafeeira, e aponta para necessidade de conscientização e preservação deste patrimônio como documento histórico e arquitetônico. / Studies the urban residential architecture in Espírito Santo do Pinhal, São Paulos region of coffee economy. It is inserted in the context of the production of urban houses sponsored by the wealth accumulated with coffee, built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, constituting important architectural collection of the ecleticism and the history of the coffee cycle in the state of São Paulo. The theoretical approach is based especially on authors such as Maria Cecília N. Homem; Nestor Goulart Reis Filho; Carlos Lemos; Maria Ângela Bortolucci. Documents and analyzes 34 representative houses of this period. Stresses the importance of studying the architecture of the coffee bourgeoisie, and points to the need for awareness and preservation of this heritage as historical and architectural document.

The main purpose of this dissertation is to investigate and rescue the production of the architect Luis Arthur Vallandro built in Santa Maria. Graduated at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul - UFRGS - in 1961, the architect had strong influence of Carioca and Paulista schools in his work, as well as of his academy, composed of the names responsible for the process of inserting the "new architecture" in the state capital. Through the recovery and analysis of the project at five residences, is possible to know the architectural value of works and the pioneering architectonic from him, exalting his contribution to the modern architecture in the city. / O objetivo central desta dissertação é investigar e resgatar a produção residencial do arquiteto Luis Arthur Vallandro erigida na cidade de Santa Maria. Formado pela Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul UFRGS em 1961, o arquiteto revelou forte influência das escolas carioca e paulista no seu trabalho, bem como da academia de sua formação, composta por nomes responsáveis pelo processo de inserção da nova arquitetura na capital do estado. Através do resgate e análise do projeto de cinco residências, é possível reconhecer o valor arquitetônico das obras e o caráter pioneiro do arquiteto, exaltando a sua contribuição dentro do panorama da moderna arquitetura na cidade.

Esta pesquisa trata da moradia urbana no Brasil, notadamente no período que vai da segunda metade do século XIX até meados do século XX, tendo como norte as transformações decorrentes da busca por modernidade, salubridade e conforto e sua relação com os estilos arquitetônicos adotados. Para tanto analisa as residências construídas na região central da cidade de Teresina, fundada para tornar-se capital do Estado do Piauí, o que, juntamente com fatores sociais e econômicos, limitações técnicas e condições climáticas locais, originou uma arquitetura de características muito peculiares. Busca, assim, compreender e caracterizar as transformações ocorridas, bem como a sua difusão na cidade, com foco nos agentes envolvidos nesse processo e na apropriação da sociedade teresinense das diversas tipologias residenciais. Toma por base principalmente documentação consultada em arquivos locais e particulares - como almanaques, jornais, relatórios, legislações e imagens de época -, levantamentos, entrevistas, além de bibliografia de historiadores locais, com destaque para Teresinha Queiroz, Monsenhor Chaves e Odilon Nunes. A fim de embasar as análises, busca ainda sustentação teórica em autores consolidados como Carlos A. C. Lemos e Nestor Goulart Reis Filho. Contribui, desse modo, para ampliar o conhecimento da produção de moradias urbanas em Teresina-PI, tão pouco presente na historiografia da arquitetura brasileira. / This research is about the urban dwelling in Brazil, notedly from the second half of the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century, guided by the changes that occurred due to the search for modernity, salubrity and comfort and their association with the architectonic styles adopted. For this purpose, the study analyses the houses built in downtown Teresina, city which was founded to become the state capital of Piauí, a fact which, together with social and economic factors, technical limitations and local climatic conditions, generated a very peculiar architecture. Therefore, this work aims to comprehend and characterize the transformation that happened, as well as how it spread through the city, focusing on the characters involved in the process and the appropriation of the residential typology by the society from Teresina. It is based on documentation found in public and particular archives, as almanacs, newspapers, reports, laws and images from the time, and also in interviews and researches, besides the bibliography of local historians, speciallyTeresinhaQueiroz, Monsenhor Chavez ansOdilonNunes. In order to support the analysis, it finds theoretical basis on consolidated authors as Carlos A. C. Lemos and Nestor Goulart Reis Filho. As a result, contribution is given to amplify the knowledge of the urban dwelling in Teresina-PI, poorly present on the Brazilian architecture historiography.

A 1980’s office block is threatened with demolition, leaving space for high-end housing in a local suburban area to Stockholm. Through presenting decision-makers with a choice and demanding action, I suggest a new future for this unwanted architecture.  The 32.000 sq m building is turned into 300 temporary rental apartments, following a strong structural logic to keep investment low. The found structure is used as a tool for contrasting the mainstream housing development of today, caring for urban diversity, ecology and coexistence.  The thesis project investigates if and how the repurposing of structures not meant for residential use into apartments can be a tool to challenge accelerating segregation. I present a design proposal for the 300 flats and additional functions, and discuss if the qualities of the spaces achieved can have any effect on diversity in the area and the norms of conventional building and the idea of the home. Tentatively, I suggest that the use of existing buildings conceived to be out of date and on the bottom of their market value development, can be a method to make the city more diverse. The role and resources of the architect student make this option possible. / Ett kontorskomplex från 1980-talet är rivningshotat för att lämna plats åt exklusiva bostadsrätter i en närförort till Stockholm. Genom att föreslå en ny framtid för den arkitektur som nu är ouppskattad, erbjuda beslutsfattarna ett reellt alternativ och kräva politisk handling. De 32 000 kvadratmetrarna kontorshus byggs om till 300 tillfälliga hyreslägenheter. Genom att följa byggnadens starka strukturella logik hålls kostnaderna låga. Den befintliga strukturen används som för att skapa lägenheter som kontrasterar mot den förhärskande konformiteten i bostadsbyggandet, och för att värna om urban mångfald, miljö och samlevnad. Examensarbetet undersöker om och hur omnyttjande av byggnader som inte är avsedda för boende till lägenheter kan vara ett verktyg mot den ökande segregationen. Mitt gestaltningsförslag för de 300 lägenheterna med omgivande funktioner utgör bakgrund till en diskussion om vilken effekt det byggda kan ha på diversitet i området och på normerna om konventionellt bostadsbyggande och idén om det goda hemmet. En försiktig slutsats är att byggnader med ett upplevt och marknadsmässigt lågt värde kan vara kärnan i en metod för att göra staden mindre segregerad, även inom dagens ekonomisk-politiska system. Den roll och de resurser en arkitektstudent har är ett sätt att möjliggöra sådana alternativa förslag.

This PhD study is at the intersection of people, place and technology and pioneers innovative development approaches towards interactive social networking systems informed by community, social and urban studies and employs human-centred and participatory design methods. The project delivers a greater understanding of the potential for internet-based systems to support and facilitate social networks of urban residents and the role of those networks to foster neighbourhood identity and social capital. Departing from conventional notions that regard communities as collectives, this study builds upon more contemporary interpretations of community inherent in Castells’ and Wellman’s theories of the network society and networked individualism. The thesis challenges the view that a mere re-appropriation of applications used to support dispersed virtual communities of interest is adequate to meet the place and proximity-based design requirements that community networks in urban neighbourhoods pose. The overarching principal research aim of the study is to propose new ways of conceptualising the roles of social networks of urban residents to better inform the design of new technology facilitating urban neighbourhood developments. Addressing this aim requires a new understanding of the roles of social networks of urban residents. The study sets out to critique the implicit theories underlying technology design in this area and to propose a more appropriate theory based on recent developments in the field and empirical findings from the study. The key research questions are: 1. What theoretical model can better represent social interaction of residents in inner-city apartment buildings? 2. How can relevant research methods be adapted to take the network qualities of social interactions into account? 3. What are the implications of a new understanding of social networks for the design of technology that supports the growth of neighbourhoods? 4. What are the implications of a new understanding of social networks for an urban architecture that supports the growth of neighbourhoods? Within a framework of action research, the study follows a case study approach of three different inner-city residential apartment complexes in Brisbane. Research methods are mostly qualitative and ethnographic and include surveys, focus groups, participant observation and interviews, as well as participatory design. The study delivers innovative outcomes on three levels: 1. Theoretical innovation with an analytical translation of Wellman’s notion of networked individualism and a conceptualisation of the communicative ecology model into the context of system design that supports social networks of residents in inner-city apartment buildings; 2. Methodological innovation with the presentation of Network Action Research, an addition to the action research family which pays particular attention to the network quality of social formations in communities; 3. Empirical innovation with research findings which indicate that the key factors influencing the successful design and uptake of interactive systems to support social networks in urban neighbourhoods. They include the swarming social behaviour of urban dwellers, the dynamics of their existing communicative ecology, and the serendipitous, voluntary and place-based quality of interaction between residents on the basis of choice, like-mindedness, mutual interest and support needs. Findings are presented in three parts to audiences interested in people, technology and place. Drawing on social, urban and computer sciences, this research project delivers insights which will assist efforts to facilitate urban neighbourhood community building with new media and network ICTs. Understanding the issues and challenges as well as opportunities and strengths in forming a local meshwork of social networks will help Australians negotiate the complex web of daily choices, access a greater social safety net, and participate in the socio-cultural and socio-economic life of their city. This in turn will contribute to greater social inclusion, urban sustainability and healthier local economies.
