Projeto de habitação popular com princípios sustentáveis para as áreas de extrema pobreza do Ceará

Abstract

This work aims to study about the needs for social housing and how to meet them using sustainable construction techniques. In the study, a bibliographic research was carried out to determine the housing deficit in the country and which population group suffers most from it, what are the reasons for the formation of “favelas” in Brazil and the state of Ceará, and what the needs that poor people face in their homes and how those can be met at low cost. In determining what sustainability is and what the characteristics of sustainable building are, research has been done on green materials and their benefits compared to traditional materials. At the end of the work a prototype was presented, which uses permaculture and sustainable construction techniques, of a social housing that meets basic sanitation needs using ecological sump, rainwater collection and storage, use of ecological bricks and recycled tiles.
