RENOVAÇÃO E REPRODUÇÃO DAS PLANTAS TIPO DE APARTAMENTOS EM JOÃO PESSOA

Abstract

The present work is part of a finished master dissertation who proposed to examine some examples of apartment projects at João Pessoa, built between the 1980s and 2016. The research addresses the impact of the verticalization process, which may allow us, among other things, to view the evolution of apartments as products, from the point of view of the market and the Architecture and Urbanism academic research. It’s mainly goal is to better understand how the conception of space for different family arrangements takes place in order to recognize social values through the characterization of the transformation effect in the plans offered in the projects of apartment buildings. The research was analytical and methodological based on aspects related to functional space issues (the needs program), its dimensional issues (total areas of sectors and rooms) and the space configuration through spatial syntax. The method adopted by means of graphs and tables, as well as application of space syntax, try to verify the pattern that repeat over time and point out eventual transformations in diachronic perspective. The results obtained indicated that the projects offered by the real estate market present renovations that subvert historical patterns of the Brazilian dwelling, in addition to reproductions of characteristics that appear almost crystallized in the domestic space of the apartment plants.
