O projeto simultâneo e integrado: conformidades com os pressupostos contemporâneos de ensino e aprendizagem e adequações às demandas do mercado da construção civil

Abstract

This research investigated the building design teaching in schools of architecture and civil engineering in Belo Horizonte through analysis of educational projects and curricula. Sought to identify the adequacy of academic education to professional practice in the construction market. This adjustment was based on studies that show problems in the traditional linear teaching and practice of building design (Menezes, et al 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011) primarily due to failures in the graphics communication between partners professionals. These problems bring consequences on the implementation of civil works, impacting the cost and time spent on the project. There is evidence that the use of modern information technology as the platform BIM (Building Information Modeling) enables integrated teaching of architecture and engineering, allowing simultaneous work with exchange of information between partners professional in practice of construction. To the extent that the use of contemporary information technology enhanced the simulation of their respective steps, it is possible to predict with greater accuracy, speed and efficiency in the planning phase, the interference between projects and therefore before his execution. The hypothesis is that there is a mismatch between the linearity of the current education processes and demands for greater integration and simultaneous projects in professional practice. Confirmation of this hypothesis can support developments for future research, testing methodological changes in building design education in the light of contemporary theories
