SUMMARY:

The elaboration of Fire Protection projects in Brazil is the responsibility of civil engineers and
architects, but there is a notorious gap in the training of the latter regarding active Fire
Protection measures, which often results in projects with incompatibility between the
architectural and Fire Protection designs. As decisive agents in the demands of the project,
architects should have autonomy and the ability to anticipate and provide input on Fire
Protection demands, ensuring adequate levels of quality for each building according to its
architectural program. Therefore, this study aims to examine the interaction between the
architectural program and active Fire Protection systems, with the general objective of
indicating the characteristics of the architectural program that anticipate active Fire Protection
demands in the designed space. The universe of the study consists of three Cash and Carry
building projects designed for implementation in the state of Rio Grande do Norte after the
approval of Ordinance No. 346/18, which refers to the application of technical requirements
and Fire Protection and panic prevention measures. The methodology of the study is based on
literature review and case studies, with analyses of Cash and Carry building projects. An
analysis of the projects was also carried out based on the categories of the architectural program,
seeking to study the characteristics of the program that anticipate active Fire Protection
demands. Incongruities were identified between active Fire Protection measures and the
designed space, where post-design adjustments had to be made, compromising the full
execution of the original architectural program and leaving room for inadequate solutions for
the use of the building. Based on this finding, characteristics of the architectural program were
presented that assist the architect in anticipating active Fire Protection demands in the
architectural design. Thus, this study was able to achieve its objectives of, based on the
identified characteristics of the architectural program, anticipate active Fire Protection demands
in the architectural design, and it is hoped that it will contribute to the development of
architectural projects in the light of Fire Protection. Additionally, this study can be continued
through research in other universes of study, with other types of buildings, and exploring other
points of Fire Protection. Finally, the research also aims to be an auxiliary tool for design
architects, guiding them in considering active Fire Protection measures from the conception of
the architectural design, considering the use of the building, its users, and the designed space.
