Anteprojeto arquitetônico de uma galeria comercial com o princípio da construção modular

Abstract

This study pertains to a Final Course Project in Architecture and Urbanism at UNI-RN. Consequently, research has been conducted on the theme of modular architecture, specifically focusing on the use of shipping containers, which have gained prominence due to their potential for sustainability, versatility, and cost effectiveness. The analyzed modules are construction methods that provide agility in building spaces while minimizing environmental impacts. The overarching objective of this work is to develop an architectural preliminary project for a commercial gallery in Nova Parnamirim, a neighborhood located in Parnamirim/RN. The research employs a qualitative, exploratory, and descriptive approach, utilizing surveys and bibliographic foundations. Both specific and general objectives are to be achieved through a hypothetical-deductive methodology. The structure of the paper encompasses theoretical studies related to basic sustainability concepts, the historical context, and the use of containers in architecture. Additionally, it includes a thorough analysis of the site, considering its physical, environmental, and legal constraints, along with reference studies that aided in the development of the preliminary project for the commercial gallery. In conclusion, the final remarks emphasize that the research successfully met its proposed objectives, highlighting the positive aspects offered to users by the commercial gallery space.
