RESUMO:

The Olympic villages built for the games of Rio de Janeiro (Ilha Pura, 2016) and Vancouver (Southeast False Creek, 2010) received the LEED-ND certification for sustainable neighborhood development based on evaluation criteria that hardly contemplate spatial relations between the project and the city. However, considering that spatial relationships affect patterns of use, and that the configuration of the urban grid – the city's primary spatial structure – results from environmental, economic, and socio-cultural forces, the three domains of sustainability, it is believed that the study of such relationships can reveal spaces that are potentially more or less sustainable. Based on an interpretation of the city as a system of interconnected spaces, the spatial structures of the two LEED-ND certified Olympic Villages are examined, considering the insertion of neighborhoods in the urban whole and interpreting attributes of form and uses of space as indicators of sustainability. The objective is to explore potential uses of morphological and functional attributes as indicators of sustainability in neighborhoods based on the cases studied. For this, it is proposed: (1) to gather, in the literature, what is understood about the relation between sustainable form, uses and sustainable neighborhoods; (2) to define an matrix of built space attributes that represents morphological and functional patterns of use related to sustainability principles addressed in the literature, taking into account the spatial context of the projects and the spatial relationships within the project itself; and (3) to evaluate both cases in light of this matrix. Through georeferenced models, morphological and functional attributes are associated with more or less sustainable patterns of use, whether they favor pedestrian movement (HILLIER, 2009) or the co-presence among different subjects in urban space (HILLIER, 1987 , PALAIOLOGOU, GRIFFITHS, VAUGHAN, 2016), and which of these patterns are actually implemented in the neighborhoods already built. Preliminary results indicate: (1) that the Olympic Village in Vancouver is better located from the point of view of the spatial context in the city, so to encourage a lower energy expenditure in daily trips from residential to non-residential areas at different scales; (2) that the spatial structure of the Canadian case aggregates more spatial properties that favor copresence among different subjects in urban space than in the case of Rio de Janeiro – i.e. mixed use, facades open to the street, well-accessible public spaces; and (3) that in the Canadian case there is a logic of spatial integration among leisure spaces, private spaces and transport corridors, while in the Ilha Pura Condominium there is a segregating logic that manifests itself in the distribution of leisure and green spaces, very integrated to those who live within the condominium and little integrated to residents or passers-by in the immediate surroundings of Ilha Pura. The certification of the Ilha Pura Condominium, despite the weak presence of spatial sustainability indicators, raises the question about the use of a single seal in order to represent a concept as broad as that of sustainability in different contexts. It is expected to verify whether these spatial patterns are translated into use patterns through observations of pedestrian activity in field.
