No. of bitstreams: 1 Rita Chapski.pdf: 256960 bytes, checksum: f8a6f179c843b6819cf294bb5666536c (MD5) Previous issue date: 2014-11-27 / The current survey approaches a study of revisiting the romance O Cortiço, by Aluisio Azevedo, on the clef of Brazilian Realism. Its pragmatic center is on an enigmatic game of a literary meaning, which the narrator author solidaires himself, testing the Brazilian female world. From this complicity, we have decided on a methodology of aesthetic that transgress the gadgets used by its own positive methodology to the orthodoxism of the XIX century. The feminine erotism brings the action showed by the main characters: Bertoleza, Rita Baiana, Pombinha, Léonie and Estela, taking them to a resistant denounce action on a board of a double social representation, house slum tenement. Arises from this structural inversion our problem: the female characters are predictable on the subject of the romance or they transgress the patriarchalism under a trying stare of the Alusiana aesthetic? On the diagnostic of hypotheses launched on this essay, we look for answers to the result of this social contamination under the scientificism of the occidental reason, on the scope of the literary of the XIX century. Although, the rupture seen on the mobility of reports of the female characters actions we repeat on the browse of the main social homogeneity, modified through operative parody present on the performance of each fictional characters. On a continental scenery, the reality of the romance is highlighted trough the analogy with the reality The Country of America , interlacing the vectors white house x half breed slum tenement in the process of creolization. The resultant of this Revisitation is pointed to a poetic relation of the creole culture (Gissant, 2005), and the transgression of the interdict (Baitalle, 2014) applied to a feminine action on the narrative, in O Cortiço. Two chapters presented defend these correlations on the intrigue, through a transitory critic that when profaned the image of a realistic woman, show the presence of trace residues of a creole culture already current in the Country of America , between centuries XIX and XX / A presente pesquisa aborda um estudo de revisitação do romance O Cortiço, de Aluísio Azevedo, na clave do Realismo Brasileiro. Seu núcleo pragmático está no jogo enigmático do significado literário, ao qual o autor-narrador se solidariza, pondo em teste o mundo feminino brasileiro. Dessa cumplicidade, decidimos uma metodologia da estética que transgride os dispositivos em uso pela metodologia positivista própria ao ortodoxismo do século XIX. O erotismo feminino subjaz à ação mostrada pelas personagens protagonistas: Bertoleza, Rita Baiana, Pombinha, Léonie e Estela, levando-as a uma ação de denúncia e resistência no quadro de uma dupla representação social sobrado-cortiço. Emerge dessa invenção estrutural a nossa problemática: as personagens femininas são previsíveis na trama do romance ou transgridem o patriarcalismo sob o olhar experimentalista da estética aluisiana? No diagnóstico das hipóteses lançadas neste estudo, buscam-se respostas ao resultado dessa contaminação social sobre o cientificismo da razão ocidental, no âmbito da crítica da literatura no século XIX. Todavia, a ruptura presente na mobilidade do relato das ações das personagens femininas repete-se na negação dos princípios de homogeneidade social, modificados através da paródia operativa presente na performance de cada uma das personagens ficcionais. No cenário continental, a realidade do romance evidencia-se pela via da analogia com a realidade do "país das Américas", no entrelaçar dos vetores sobrado branco x cortiço mestiço em processo de crioulização. A resultante desta revisitação é marcada por uma poética da "relação" da cultura crioula (Glissant, 2005) e da transgressão do interdito (Bataille, 2014) aplicada à ação feminina na narrativa, em O Cortiço. Os dois capítulos apresentados defendem essas correlações na intriga, pela via de uma crítica transitória que, ao profanar a imagem da mulher realista, mostra a presença dos "rastrosresíduo" de uma cultura crioula já vigente no país das Américas , entre os séculos XIX e XX

Subject of the thesis is the architecture study of multifunctional architectural object based on the principle of creating intensive urban structures. Design area is located on the riverside Svitava, in the neighborhood the street Zvonařka . The aim of the project was to design an intensive structure that will meet the combination of features in order to achieve independence from the surrounding area and shorten the walking distance. The proposal itself, the principle of porosity. This generates a set of objects fulfilling different functions, public, semi-public and private spaces - atrium terraces, green roofs and balconies. The building has nine floors above ground and two underground floors used for parking. On the first floor there is a bank and retail space, the other floors are then situated administration, library, fitness, health center and on the top two floors of living. Construction of the building is designed as a reinforced concrete frame, sits on the pilots. The facade is solved soberly with regard to function, the main expressive elements are white façade,gray facing and glazing surface of the first two floors

The city with its urban density, infrastructure, and cultural, social and educational opportunities can be a desirable place to live for all - regardless of age, income or background. The city of today has changed considerably from the city of the 19th century. Neither is it the city of the future. However, it has great potential to anticipate to the challenges we will face in the future. It is a place that constantly changes. It is a living organism! This constant change is a challenge for architects to develop concepts and design-solutions that can react to shifting uses, zoning requirements, and dweller habits. The constant alteration of lifestyle, residential and commercial use, as well as job-related needs demands a high flexibity and adaptability in architecture and urban planning. Today's life is fast and unpredictable. Other contemporary issues such as sustainabilty or climate change are becoming key issues of today's discussion - in society, in the media and in world policy. Architects - responsible for our built environment - have to find innovative solutions to such ever-changing problems within their profession - within architecture. How can a concept, project or building be designed or constructed to anticipate those future needs, and what are the limits? To explore these questions and many more that followed I chose a site in midtown Washington DC. My thesis project includes 23 townhouses with partial retail, incorporated along an alley in the interior of a city block. The new development is integrated into the existing structure. / Master of Architecture

The master’s thesis deals with the solid-fuel fired furnaces, complying with the new emission legislation, and their application in central heating. The introductory part of the thesis focuses on the theory of solid fuels combustion, pertinent legislation, and various designs of solid-fuel fired furnaces. The main part of the thesis deals with the design of a central heating system for a townhouse with a solid-fuel fired furnace as the primary heat source for central heating. A roof-mounted PV system was considered for solar-assisted domestic hot water heating. The energy performance of the house was evaluated with the use of the degree-day method and also with a detailed computer simulation in TRNSYS. As an appendix, the thesis includes the detailed engineering calculations and the engineering drawings and diagrams of the central heating system.

One of the main objectives is to organize the space into inner courtyard, to define a relationship between the house and surrouding areas, like street and inner courtyard. Current courtyards of the bylcony houses represent a kind of second layer of the city – private zone. Space, which is owned by someone, which has its own scheme and charm in city lifestyle context. Unclear space runs deep into the inner courtyard is defined by three new residential wings and becomes the eleventh courtyard which, will offer comfort gardens and recreational areas for residents. Another important factor is also a fact that we design not only the house but also the whole one side of the street, and there is no corner of the street by now. The new design of both hips when we eject the whole mass before today's bare boards into the street is fair to the satisfaction of cars that disappear from the street - leaving only the tram, a narrow profile so never mind. The opposite principle of a closed block of flats is linear, to the square oriented vertical mass of the townhouse. In place of intersection of two objects there is a quiet green bay, which is the added value of the house in the public space. Vertical brings the last missing facade and at the same time created a full quality corner of the southern mouth of the Mendel Square.
