Paradigma circular em arquitetura, engenharia e construção: análise do modelo vertical de projeto escolar da Secretaria de Educação e Esportes de Pernambuco

Abstract

Architecture, engineering and construction play a crucial role in the search for sustainable and resilient solutions to today's urban and environmental challenges. In this context, the circular paradigm emerges as an innovative approach that aims to transform the design, construction and operation of built environments. The research entitled "Circular paradigm in architecture, engineering and construction: Analysis of the vertical model of school design of the Secretariat of Education and Sports of Pernambuco" analyzed the application of these principles in the vertical design model adopted by the Secretariat. The central problem of the research consisted of identifying which modifications in the project definitions could be implemented to insert the concepts of the circular paradigm into this model. The relevance of the study lies in the need to incorporate knowledge of the circular paradigm into the architectural design of state schools, contributing to improvements in existing projects and positively influencing the management of the public budget. The research adopted an exploratory nature, focused on the Vertical School Project Model (MVPE), created in 2009 and used since 2014. A bibliographic review, documentary research and analysis of the MVPE were carried out using the Circular Building Toolkit, to assess its insertion in the circular paradigm. The results revealed that the MVPE does not incorporate circularity principles, relying on conventional criteria. The need to adopt circularity principles to maximize the reuse of resources, minimize environmental impacts and extend the useful life of buildings is highlighted. The implementation of these principles promotes teaching environments aligned with sustainable values, contributing to the reduction of environmental impact and ecological awareness. The main contribution of the study is the proposal of adjustments to the MVPE to incorporate circularity practices, ensuring greater efficiency, adaptability and sustainability to the life cycle of state public schools, reducing environmental impacts and optimizing public resources
