Habitar a verticalidade: reflexões sobre modo de vida contemporâneo em Vila Velha, Espírito Santo

Abstract

This work aims to design a vertical residential building for collective housing in Vila Velha, Espírito Santo. Based on the identification of the specific housing demands of the site, the project seeks to rethink the habitable space to meet contemporary needs, incorporating technological and architectural innovations, as well as sociocultural transformations. The proposal reflects the organic dynamics of families, coherently applying the knowledge acquired throughout the undergraduate program. The research covered the history of tall buildings, from their origins to their use as a housing solution, in addition to highlighting the new demands related to the way of inhabiting space. Based on these foundations, the project aims to create a living environment that meets the needs and well-being of contemporary families, promoting a harmonious integration between humans and space. The main objective is to offer a residential environment that responds to the growing search for quality of life, an increasingly essential aspect in contemporary housing.
