TROPICAL ARCHITECTURE IN BAMBOO, DESIGN FOR THE OCEANARY OF APA COSTA CORAIS
Architectural project, Oceanarium; tropic architecture; Bamboo; Guadua angustifolia.
This professional master's degree consists of an architectural project of a building for socioeducational designed to promote the Coral Coast EPA with an emphasis on tropical bamboo architecture and its structural system. This document consists of a technical report and an architectural project. It was developed with the objective of understanding and designing a tropical building in bamboo o (Guadua angustifolia), in view of the negative environmental impact that industrialized materials (also called conventional) have on the environment and in view of the increasing emergence of seeking a more sustainable architecture and in harmony with nature. To develop the architectural proposal, a theoretical- conceptual survey was initially conducted on the subject, through bibliographic research and studies of project references (precedents and correlates, then, the architectural programming was developed, with the definition of dilemmas and project goals). From this basis, and with the help of the course disciplines, the project process was developed and mapped, through registration in analog and digital media, from the early stages of conditioning studies, conception and development of the architectural party. This work aimed to study architectural strategies to maximize the mechanical properties of bamboo and the thermal comfort in the building. As a result of the studies (and simulations), a proposal was developed that develops in pointed arches that support a large covering of natural fiber under which develops the oceanarium, which takes advantage of the conditioning cli of the region in their favor, translating the characteristics of a tropic architecture.
