RESILICENTRO - CENTRO DE PESQUISAS TECNOLÓGICAS CLIMÁTICAS

Abstract

The present article is the result of the final course of graduation of the course of architecture and urbanism. The duality of climatic phenomena (extreme rains and severe drought) in Ceará, Brazil, results in occurrences in most of the municipalities in the state's semi-arid region. As an example, there is the municipality of Assaré that in 2016 opened a state of emergency due to the strong drought and, in April 2017, opened again because of the heavy rains that reached the weir of the region and flooded the city, leaving more than 40 homeless. Given the lack of preparation to deal with the phenomena, it is proposed a Resilience Center to coexist with climatic changes in the semi-arid situations of Ceará. In view of the reported events, it was verified the need for possible alternatives to live permanently with extreme climatic phenomena, creating the Resilicentro, a space for conducting research and demonstration of technologies to improve social coexistence with the climatic, water, social and environmental conditions of the semi-arid region of Ceará. As a proposal for an integrated research unit of the Ministry of Science, Technology, Innovations and Communications (MCTIC), the construction of the center was based on the methodology used by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on climate change.
