Estudo de viabilidade de casa anfíbia no Maranhão

Abstract

There is a housing deficit in the world, which is going to be aggravated especially after future disasters related to the rise of water levels, theme that put under discussion the production of homes able to float. Therefore, different models and techniques have been developed worldwide in order to soften future losses, but these projects have not yet reached the desired level to be employed in Brazil as a single dwelling. The minimum space, an affordable price of construction, the techniques used and the materials needed, are questions to be resolved for those who wish to obtain this type of building in Brazil. In order to predict future changes to adapt quickly is that, many times, projects as the Amphibian House are made and financed by public authorities or private institutions. The delay of the answers to these questions has left in the hands of people themselves the attempt to adapt to floods, which will become increasingly frequent. Removing the concern of loss of property for water is the main goal of the amphibian house. This work aims to develop a study containing guidelines required, and guided by a project of a single housing so that the population in flooding areas realize that there is viability in the construction of a house that is safe, hygienic, comfortable and able to float through PET empty bottles, and what measures should be taken to do so.
