Diretrizes de projeto para possibilitar a desconstrução de edificações e seus componentes

Abstract

This work discusses the importance of design guidelines for the deconstruction in order to, among other benefits, reduce environmental impact and cost generated by the construction industry, as well as increasing the lifetime of the building and its components. Thus, this study examines the need to use these guidelines in the conceptual stage of the project, considering that is a crucial step for making decisions such as the choice of materials, construction methods and processes. For this to occur, certain requirements must be observed, such as durability and reduced types of materials and components, the adaptability of the plant to other functions, the preference for mechanical connections, easy access to all components and materials identification, among other things. The survey was done of these principles through the analysis of specific literature on the subject. After comparing the results collected, these principles were tabulated and applied in analysis of architectural projects published in national magazines sector, in 2012. After completing that, by analyzing the projects themselves, the existing manual in literature and the fact that the Brazilian architects do not seem to be concerned with deconstruction in his works, were proposed design principles for deconstruction appropriate to the context of architectural production in Brazil.
