Arquitetura flutuante em cenários atípicos - O habitar e as cidades afogadas

Abstract

This study explores the hydrological cycle in relation to urban areas, emphasizing the interconnection between urbanization, pollution, and impacts on watercourses. The analysis reveals the need to rethink the urban paradigm, particularly in coastal regions. The proposal introduces floating architecture as a solution for coastal communities, inspired by the Amazonian riverside culture. The aim is to adopt a sustainable approach to ensure housing quality and resilience in the face of rising sea levels, with a focus on Baixada Santista and communities on stilts. The research seeks to contribute to a positive transformation in contemporary housing scenarios, aligning with sustainable principles and considering the impact of climate change on coastal cities.
