Article source: Eduardo V. Flores The theme of sustainability became mandatory today. Residential, commercial environments, building sites of any scale must be sensitive not only to reuse, as well as the adaptation of materials in use which until then was very different purposes for the construction.
Breaking taboos representing the aesthetic beauty and the invention of Brazilian architecture in structures that look so rude and impersonal, is one of the factors that raise the subject to a Sustainability artistic status and multiplied. Through the large glass area of the house, you get the largest possible amount of natural light in environments that need it, while the use of Brise Soleil, architectural element used widely in Brazilian modernism relieves dormitories direct sunlight, so the brightness step into the environment so calculated and comfortable. This temperature is also reduced with a coating blanket of rock wool as insulation, strategically located between the fiber and the structure of the container. The use of rock wool in air conditioned environments allows a representative cost savings of electric power and minimizes the occurrence of condensation along the tiles when temperature inversions. The combination of technical challenges, highlights the aesthetic and creative Brazilian identity of this project. Representing an architecture world judged by a theme also consider, through an unusual structure. Retraining modernism in architecture, the modern adaptation of yesterday with today’s modern, explain that the idea of modernity is only possible nowadays through respect for the environment and the intelligent use of natural resources and present this idea in an artistic way innovative and highly feasible is what characterizes this project.
