Concepções arquitetônicas de João Filgueiras Lima: aplicabilidade na arquitetura residencial sustentável

Abstract

Among brazilian architects, João Filgueiras Lima deserves a special remark for the social character, technical refinement and architectural concepts seen in his works. Lelé, as he's commonly known, based his work methodology in a concept of sustainability established under the environmental respect, the construction in a humanistic perspective, the experimentation with constructional technologies and the rational employment of material, and consolidated as a landmark in his career the prefabrication technique, whose celerity and economy it provides could solve the housing shortage in Brazil. With that in hand, the present work studies and realizes the architectonic concepts and construction systems developed by Lelé and employs them for the development of a popular housing model project, settled under the rules of sustainability and providing comfort for its users.
