Automação e adaptatividade arquitetura da era digital

Abstract

Although the population of the 21st century is predominantly inserted in the use of digital media, it can be seen that the current architectural production still does not correspond strongly to the demands of this context. From this perspective, the present work seeks to investigate how architecture, allied to technological possibilities, has historically responded to social transformations and can now meet the contemporary society’s yearnings for individualization and dynamicity, characteristics of the productive tendency of mass customization. As seen, both in fictional works and in current constructed buildings, the use of automation technologies as an integral part of architecture can be a tool to give it adaptability in relation to environmental and human variables. Thus, it is understood that a possible response of the architecture to the digital society is through the use of the concepts of performance and kinetics in order to integrate the architecture with the technological systems. Therefore, this work also proposes the application of these concepts through a vertical housing project for the city of Uberlândia with intelligent and adaptive residential units that seek to dynamically respond to user needs and climatic variations.
