SUMMARY:

This Professional Master’s Thesis, also structured as a technical report, consists of a technical intervention project for an institutional religious building aimed at supporting the study and dissemination of the Spiritist movement in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The building, originally constructed in 1976, has undergone various adjustments and renovations over the years. Currently, it presents conflicts in its physical structure and fails to offer spatial quality, accessibility, and energy-efficient solutions to meet user demands. To propose a building with high-quality internal spaces and foster integration with the new external area and surrounding environment, this work focuses on the retrofit of an existing building located on a narrow plot. Emphasis is placed on ambience and environmental comfort, addressing issues such as direct solar radiation on facades, insufficient natural ventilation, and the lack of green open spaces. The project began with a theoretical and conceptual study of the subject through bibliographic research and analyses of related projects and references. Subsequently, the architectural programming phase was conducted, defining the project's dilemmas and goals. Based on this foundation, and supported by the curriculum components of the course, the design process was gradually developed and mapped. This process included various forms of documentation, from the initial stages of studying constraints to the conception and development of the architectural design strategy. In line with its specific objectives, the project pursued architectural strategies to maximize bioclimatic effects by incorporating biophilic design. It aimed to improve internal spaces through solutions rooted in the concepts of ambience and environmental comfort, ensuring compliance with current regulations. The outcomes include the retrofit and expansion design of the FERN building, featuring improvements in internal spaces and integration with new vegetated external areas. This establishes a new relationship between the building and its surroundings, providing a “breath of fresh air” and creating a welcoming atmosphere for the institution’s users. By proposing the retrofit and expansion of an existing building, the project highlights the importance of utilizing the existing structure and adapting it to current user needs efficiently, with the rational use of material and energy resources. The aim is to enhance the spatial quality of internal environments, fostering comfort, coziness, quality, and well-being, while ensuring the integration of internal and external spaces in the new building. The incorporation of biophilic design promotes a dialogue with the urban context, inviting its integration with the building.
