Estudo da formação de infraestrutura ecologicamente pensada para uso urbano

Abstract

Constructions have been made part of the organisation of society since undetermined time representing historical, cultural, political and socioeconomical changes as well as a function of spacial reference. In the last years, natural resources have participated directly in many architectural and engineering researches substituting some more expensive and environmentally agressive material. Generating an infrastructure that considers the environment and its variants became a challenge for many cities such as Fortaleza - Ceará - Brazil, which was considered as a parametre in this survey. According to the methodology chosen, it was evaluated the condition of sustainability in different kinds of construction, discussed the function of some construction in the place that they are and they were suggested some strategies to certain cases in order to minimise the negative effects of construction on nature and make them more environmentally acceptable. Traditional aspects and local masterpiece were valourised by the comparison between the data achieved in this research and previous studies. Even though more specific surveys are needed to an efficient planning, it was proved that it is possible to develop the bioconstruction around the city. It was observed that the natural elements in Fortaleza were not properly used to reduce the energy demand in private and public construction.
