Student housing, integration, accessibility, surroundings.
This article consists of an architectural proposal for a biomedical student housing focusing on integration with the surroundings located in Natal at the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte. Despite its social character, the existing biomedical student housing does not provide adequate conditions for its residents. The difficulty of access, the isolation between the building and its adjacencies, together with the lack of universal accessibility, make design resolutions for the site difficult. Therefore, this work proposes a new configuration for the space of the dwellings aiming to promote the collectivity and the relationship between residents / building and its immediate surroundings. In this way integrating design and landscape. For the development of the project, a theoretical-conceptual deepening on the subject was initially made, through bibliographic research and studies of project references. Then, the architectural programming was developed with the definition of dilemmas and project scope. Thus, the design process was developed and mapped with the help of the curricular components of the course through different forms of registration, from the initial stages of studies of constraints, concept creation, conception and development of the architectural party. Finally, the proposal sought integration at different levels, adequacy to legal issues, enhancing access and promoting universal accessibility. Connecting your surroundings and creating spaces with elements to improve the collectivity at the macro and micro scales of the project.
