Containers – uma nova alternativa para a construção civil. Estudo direcionado para projetos residenciais

Abstract

With pollution negatively affecting the world today, we have been seeking techniques and methods that will do less harm to the environment and to future generations. The constructive container method appears as an option for those who look for a clean and dry work, a flexible architecture, the reuse of materials that would be discarded, the preservation of natural resources and the reduction of constructive stages. This way, the objective of this work is to study the constructive method with the container material, its main stages of construction and the elaboration of a project. The applied methodology consists of bibliographical and documentary research, photographic exhibition and project development. The concept of sustainable construction was approached by analyzing its influence in the national and world scenario, aiming to reinforce the importance and the environmental responsibility in the project of residential dwellings. Finally, the project resulted in the design of a single-family residence with container, in which the projected space proved to be a viable solution for the metropolitan area of João Pessoa and also a functional for the users.
