O uso de resíduos industriais na arquitetura: um olhar sobre aparas de chapa

Abstract

This work is focused on the reuse of metal plate shavings, a type of industrial metallic residue, as one of the several ways to implement sustainability in architecture. The justification for sustainability here is given by the slower metabolism in the life cycle of this material. Prolonging the life of this material can be achieved through the use of waste from manufacturing processes and also through recycling, both of which are processes that reduce the demand for extracting raw materials from nature. of worked residue, showing that these shavings come from different metallurgy and machining processes. Case studies were also carried out on the collectives Superuse Studios and Rotor, which work with the reuse of materials that would otherwise be discarded or recycled, acting both in architectural projects and in the development of a market for these uses. Examples of spontaneous uses in Brazil and specifically in Timóteo, the target city of the project, were also researched, showing that the potential of these materials is already, in some way, currently explored.
