Habilidades em projeto de arquitetura e as tecnologias da construção: uma análise sobre teorias e práticas

Abstract

Architecture and Urban Planning students need to consider knowledge from different areas of knowledge when developing architectural projects. Undergraduate courses in the area seek to approach this knowledge through disciplines that aim to develop in students the necessary skills for project practice, among other qualifications. This thesis has as its object of study the relationships between the skills developed in architecture projects and the contents of construction technology and tectonics. The objective of the thesis is to understand how this relationship happens, how they are considered in the courses analyzed, how they are addressed in teaching practices reported in publications and how course coordinators and teachers understand and approach the topic. The research methods were documentary research, with the analysis of legislation related to the object and of Pedagogical Course Projects; bibliographical research to contextualize the work in relation to contemporary discussions on the topic and to identify reports of teaching practices related to the study object and their respective results; interviews with course coordinators and professors of project and technology disciplines; and analysis of the results found. This resulted in the following chapters: Chapter 1, which presents an overview of the teaching of Architecture and Urbanism, its different origins, transformations, configurations and current composition; Chapter 2, which covers the understanding of construction technology and tectonics content; Chapter 3, with a survey of the approach to the topic in Pedagogical Course Projects, both in a quantitative approach to disciplines and in qualitative aspects, seeking mentions and specific methodological approaches related to the topic; Chapter 4, which presents an extensive review of publications on teaching experiences on the topic and the results found by authors; and Chapter 5, with the results of interviews with coordinators of Architecture and Urbanism courses and teachers of project disciplines and technological content. Among the results, it was found that, based on the methods adopted in this research, there is no emphasis on the relationship between the development of architecture project skills and technological content and tectonics specifically, which does not reduce the importance of these topics in the courses.
