Reutilização de resíduos na construção civil: o projeto para desmontagem como forma de reaproveitamento

Abstract

The necessity to reduce, recycle and reuse of materials was the primary research motivation. Thus, the Design for Disassembly (DFD) concepts and materials reutilization from the building sector was investigated aiming to demonstrate how the consideration of those aspects can contribute to the environment impacts reduction. Furthermore those considerations were identified as aids for the costs reduction and lifecycle enhancement. As an initial approach, the research reported some benefits from disassembly and reuse that could be characterized in the process. At a second moment, it was observed the necessity of a method that could drive the disassembly and reutilization processes at the first stages of the architectural design process. From that approach, it was developed a prototype design tool that allowed the adoption of design strategies linked to the DFD concept. For the tool development it was adopted a Design Science Research approach, since the knowledge derived from the tool development could be used in another contexts of architectural design. As a research contribution it is expected that the prototype tool and the design guidelines can help the important decisions in architectonic design process initial stages.
