Arquitetura emergencial: estudo preliminar de um abrigo emergencial para desabrigados por deslizamento de terra

Abstract

This study is intended to develop a preliminary proposal for an emergency shelter for victims of natural disasters in the city of São Luis - MA. In this way, the study of natural phenomena at the national and world level, especially landslides, is carried out to understand how these events cause natural catastrophes and what measures should be taken for prevention and response, in correlation with architecture and urbanism. The research identifies the characteristics of the neighborhoods affected by landslides in the capital of Maranhão, drawing a profile of the news, such as the impact of climate and the influence of anthropogenic actions in urban space. Furthermore, it seeks to explore and conceptualise emergency architecture with an emphasis on temporary shelters, where it analyzes examples from Brazil and the world, discussing and analysing their principal potentials for the improvement and development of this type of project. The result is a preliminary study of an emergency shelter that aims to stimulate the university environment for further research on this theme, in addition to helping populations in need who are affected by landslides to obtain temporary housing.
