THE FAB-LAB AS A TOOL TO DRIVE INNOVATION IN THE DESIGN PROCESS

Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 -0300

During the last decade, Fab-Labs have emerged as an alternative to traditional design workshops. They incorporate new digital technologies in design that optimize their processes and implement new collaborative work methods associated with co-design. However, in the Latin American context, it has not been verified how they have been implemented and what are the real contributions and challenges that these spaces have in innovation processes. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to examine, from the literature, how innovation processes are understood within Fab Labs. The PRISMA method was applied for the systematic review to propose a matrix that categorizes and allows understanding the approaches and components associated with innovation processes within Fab Labs.

POST-OCCUPANCY EVALUATION (POE) IN housing BUILDINGS: A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW

Márcia Maria Alves Alcântara, Adriana de Paula Lacerda Santos — Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Post-Occupancy Evaluation measures the performance of the built environment, contributing to the continuous improvement of design, use, operation, and maintenance processes of buildings, thereby promoting the development of housing that meets users' needs. Despite being widely recognized by researchers, the methodology is rarely used in the construction industry due to challenges in user participation. This research, through a systematic literature review, provides an overview of post-occupancy evaluations conducted in residential buildings with user involvement, analyzing over 1680 articles from four databases: Science Direct, Scopus, Web of Science, and Periódicos Capes. The 5W2H technique was used to extract and present the results. The findings indicate that the research focuses on evaluating performance criteria related to the habitability of innovative buildings, is rigid and researcher-centered, and that users do not perceive tangible benefits from participating. Based on the findings, it is recommended that future research place users at the center of the process and conduct more comprehensive evaluations of residential buildings.

Keywords: Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE). Housing. User.

THE THE SANTA CATERINA MARKET. AN ARCHITECTURE FROM THE LANGUAGE AS A TRACE

Carlos Barbera Pastor — Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 -0300

The manuscript presents an analysis of the Santa Caterina market designed by Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue in terms of language. The research begins with the constructive elements used. The presence of the structure, the roof, the interior space and the slats on the façades establish a link with the markets of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The study investigates the proposal according to a comparison with the Born market, a few blocks away from the market designed by Miralles and Tagliabue. However, the expression of rupture that establishes the transformation of these elements with respect to markets built during the industrial revolution leads to a turn in the analysis of the architecture of the Santa Caterina market itself, conceived as an expression of rupture. It refers to an approach in which neoliberalism has destroyed one of the city's oldest programmes, not only in terms of the system of buying and selling staple foods but also in terms of the human, social and cultural relations that generate this programme and urban space. The work concludes with approaches that relate architecture and its own expression through a language that is capable of transmitting itself from the architectural experience.

THE MEMORY AS AN OPERATIVE CONCEPT OF RESISTANCE IN ART, ARCHITECTURE AND THE BUILT HERITAGE

Mario Fernández González, José Magín Campos Cacheda — Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Artistic creation is intertwined with concepts such as cutting, emptiness and light that finally crystallise in memory as a concept of resistance in the face of the passage of time. Emphasising the importance of memory as artistic substance. This work, developed on the basis of a qualitative methodology, aims to explore the integration, understanding and projection towards the future of the architectural work through memory, in its eagerness to blur the boundaries with art. Thus, architects such as Sverre Fehn, Peter Zumthor or Bernard Tschumi have explored the confrontation between the idea, the pre-existences and their functionality, highlighting the need for a transversal concept in architecture not as an acceptance of the past, but as a juxtaposition that places value on memory. The analysis carried out highlights this creative need used in art and architecture, where cut, emptiness and light are linked in an emotional echo to memory as a concept of resistance to the passing of time, revealing a continuous search for identity and reconciliation, projecting the work into the future while preserving its past in our memory.

GUIDELINES FOR ADEQUACY OF RESIDENTIAL SPACES FOR PEOPLE WITH ASD – A LITERATURE REVIEW

Tatiana Silva de Oliveira, Claudete Barbosa Ruschival — Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 -0300

This study reviews guidelines for adapting domestic spaces aimed at people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), focusing on creating environments that meet the sensory and behavioral needs of this population. The research adopted a systematic review methodology, analyzing articles and studies published in the last 10 years, with an emphasis on residential, therapeutic and educational environments. 15 articles were selected that presented guidance on aspects such as acoustics, lighting, sensory zoning, security and flexibility of the space. The results reveal the importance of a design that considers the sensory and emotional specificities of individuals with ASD, highlighting the need for customizable, safe environments with adjustable stimuli. Furthermore, challenges related to financing, cultural resistance and the lack of continuous user participation in the adaptation process were identified. The research also reinforces the relevance of collaboration between professionals and the community to develop more inclusive spaces. These guidelines can serve as a basis for creating more functional and comfortable environments, promoting the well-being and development of people with ASD.

PARADOXO BUCÓLICO

FREDERICO ROSA BORGES DE HOLANDA — Tue, 20 May 2025 00:00:00 -0300

Study of Parque das Garças (Herons Park), Brasília. Local aspects of the park and its insertion in the city. Characterization of the capitals enacted here and their related habitus, based on a critical review of these two key concepts by Pierre Bourdieu. Survey of the attributes of the subjects and the activities they carry out here, captured through direct observation and questionnaires directly asking the people about their income, self-declared colour, place of residence, means of transport to get to the park, length of time spent here, the first idea that the park evokes etc. Reasoning on the apparent paradox of the park being frequented by middle-low-income classes in an elite borough. The future of the park, existent proposals, implications regarding the social diversity of those who frequent it.
