Casa Ribeiro Anteprojeto de uma residência unifamiliar: com baixo impacto ambiental no bairro de Areia Preta/RN

Abstract

The design of residences and the use of sustainable elements is a subject in growing discussion. For this, the present paper will have as a general objective the preliminary design of a single-family residence with the use of sustainable elements, located in the neighborhood of Areia Preta/RN. As methodology, a qualitative research approach was adopted to have a better understanding and exploration of the subject, for that the scientific methods of application were divided in 3: the data collection stage with exploratory research, analyzing bibliographic studies about the theme; the architectural approach with the phenomenological method of interpretation of the presented information; and in the pre-design stage the dialectic method was used in the construction of the bibliographic review. The decision-making process was also influenced by the program of needs, the study of the environmental and physical conditions, the terrain and the neighborhood in question. The present work results in the elaboration of an architectural proposal (at the preliminary design level) with low environmental impact for the different phases of its conception: design phase with the valorization of the prevailing winds and the solar trajectory for the environments; construction phase for the compatibility of the floor plan and the modulation of the structure in soil-cement bricks; during the useful life of the building, applying the reuse of rainwater, solar energy in the production of electricity, and the use of solar heating for hot water.
