Este relatório tem como objetivo dar a conhecer o projeto final de licenciatura em Design de Interiores e Equipamento, no âmbito da unidade curricular de Projeto de Design de Interiores e Equipamento, lecionada na Escola Superior de Artes Aplicadas, pertencente ao Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco.
O espaço a intervir corresponde a uma moradia unifamiliar, situada na aldeia de Nandufe, no concelho de Tondela, no distrito de Viseu.
Atualmente, o imóvel é propriedade da junta de freguesia. A sua compra foi pensada para beneficiar os movimentos associativos da freguesia, para que estes tivessem um local onde pudessem reunir.
Este edifício já foi sujeito a renovações no exterior e também no piso térreo, onde foi construído um café. No entanto, a parte interior do edifício, encontra-se em estado de degradação, muito devido ao facto de já não ser utilizado. Deste modo, através deste projeto, pretendemos reabilitar e remodelar este edifício, valorizando as suas características arquitetónicas.
O projeto visa a converter a moradia num estabelecimento de alojamento local. Esta habitação possui cerca de 250 m2, divido por três pisos. O objetivo é desenvolver espaços confortáveis e funcionais para o fim a que se destinam. Um dos grandes desafios deste projeto é criar mecanismos para que seja acessível por pessoas com mobilidade condicionada, apontando para a promoção do turismo acessível.
É ainda prevista a criação de equipamento desenhado à medida, considerando o conceito pretendido e mantendo a identidade do local.

The Bologna Process was responsible for the reformulation of the education system in several countries in Europe, with a great impact on the Portuguese education system, which presented a curricular structure and pedagogical practice very different from the recommended. This article, in addition to contextualizing the Bologna Process, exposes data related to the methodology followed by the Polytechnic Institute of Castelo Branco (Portugal) to monitor its implementation, as well as the indicators used to carry out annual monitoring reports. The strategies adopted by each higher school for the transition between curricular plans are presented, namely the methodology for adopting credits and for adapting to new study cycles. It also addresses the centralized strategy for monitoring the Process and planning initiatives that involved all higher schools. After implementing the Bologna Process, the quality assessment system was structured, based on previous work and considering performance indicators and the institution's structure. This work makes it possible to measure the profound changes incorporated at all levels and to understand their impact on teaching and learning practice.
ABSTRACT : This paper, part of a Ph.D. in Design research, focused on
discussing the role of Design Education on training future designers to be
actors of change. It describes the methodology of a workshop for design
students during the Design Week of Mérida, at Universidad de
Extremadura – Spain. The workshop discussed the point of view of
students in problem-solving, and what they believe to be the skills,
methods, and partnerships for design to achieve such a change in its
approach and how Design Education plays a part in preparing the future
genera_on of designers to tackle social innovation and sustainability
problems. The results showed how these particular group of future
designers see as crucial in the given context and the possibilities for
improvement on a system that struggles to be resilient and respond at a
faster pace.
The Gorongosa National Park was created in 1960 and it has 4.067km2 that integrates the Serra da Gorongosa and the local communities that live nearby. This work aims the characterization of the traditional houses and ways of building observed in the natural park. The main objective is the identification and characterization of constructive systems and the organization of villages in the Gorongosa National Park. This characterization is intended to be constructive from the point of view of the materials, geometry and solutions applied on the construction. The present work has many phases, in this sense the following stages were defined: Developing the state of art based on the analysis of constructive characterization methods and bibliographic research on earth systems used in Mozambique and other countries with similar conditions and climates; Definition of the studying cases: identification of the villages that were objects of studies, definition of survey criteria and registration; Visiting the villages and surveying the solutions through photographic register, visual observation, measurements, interviews; Registering identification files to each solution, etc. The work presents the typologies of construction found, namely: constructions with walls made from earth commonly used in the country, being the most usual technology the earth covering over wooden structures with different geometries and pieces of different shapes and dimensions. The study has documented some of the most current solutions in National Park.
ABSTRACT: Proposed paper is a part of the ongoing PhD research in
design with focus on the research of existing environmental and social
requirements for the sustainable innovation within urban sanita_on,
focused on toilet design. Main questions of the research are aiming the
Portuguese environment, where we are characterizing aspects of water
and sanita_on through the five dimensions - culture, technology,
government, economy, and environment.
In this paper the main objective is to determine systemic characteristics
of the socio-cultural dimension of water and sanitation, which will be later
incorporated in writien final guidelines – directives raised from the
research results which shall serve as operational knowledge for the ones
involved in the implementation of the sustainable toilet innovation. The
paper as well serves as theoretical orientation for the practical
applications of the research.
ABSTRACT : The circular economy is a new strategic concept to meet
society's needs in a more efficient and sustainable manner based in
decoupling the economic growth and welfare from the increase in the
consumption of natural resources. It implies the transition from the
traditional linear model to a more innovative and circular approach in the
development of the economy by designing new products, new services,
and new systems, supported, in most cases, by the re-thinking and
creation of new business models.
Designers and product developers have an important and crucial role to
achieve a successful and wide implementation of the concept which has
to be accepted and applied in practice by businesses along the whole
value chain and meet the current and future needs of consumers and the
society.
Currently, several methods, principles, practices, tools, training initiatives,
and many resources are being developed globally as a result of the wide
exploitation of the concept, but there is still a large gap between what is
available to companies and designers, and what is applied in practice on
product and service development.
This paper reflects part of the PhD research project under development
by the authors which is based on the promotion of the design practice
within Circular Economy. It explores the results of the review of circularity
tools available that can be used by design professionals
to systematize and guide their development process. The analysis will
support the development of a toolkit and guidelines oriented for the
practical implementation of the circular economy in the development of
innovative and efficient products and services. (Camocho, Ferreira, &
Vicente, 2018).
As instituições de ensino superior são hoje
centros de ensino e investigação organizados
numa rede de conhecimento conectivo, que
se estende numa logica transfronteiriça e
multicultural.
Desde o surgimento das primeiras universidades
europeias em Bolonha e Paris, que o papel das
instituições de ensino superior se tem adaptado
às mudanças e exigências sociais, económicas e
políticas.
Inicialmente apoiadas com a finalidade de
preservar o conhecimento e auxiliar a política e
cultura monarca, bem como as regras e dogmas
da igreja, as universidades resultam da iniciativa
laica de estudantes e mestres e da sua interação
com a comunidade. Rapidamente, as instituições
de ensino superior (IES) se constituíram
como centros de atividade intelectual, por
via do ensino livresco, da lição e pelo debate
público, formaram núcleos importantes para o
desenvolvimento local e espaços de intercâmbio
e mobilidade entre estudantes e mestres.
O grande desafio da Escola de hoje é dar resposta às necessidades dos alunos, passando pela fusão do sistema de ensino regular e do sistema de ensino especial. Inclusão é a palavra de ordem quando ouvimos falar em educação. As tecnologias de informação e comunicação são aplicadas no sentido de melhorar a qualidade de vida de alunos com Necessidades Educativas Especiais, garantindo uma igualdade de oportunidades, que levará ao sucesso educativo. Conscientes de que a comunicação é fundamental na vida de qualquer ser, este artigo reflete uma abordagem de investigação de alunas do Mestrado do Curso de Ensino Especial no Domínio Cognitivo e Motor da Escola Superior de Educação do Instituto Politécnico de Castelo Branco sobre a Promoção da Comunicação Expressiva em Sujeitos com Necessidades Educativas Especiais, recorrendo a um Sistema Alternativo de Comunicação, nomeadamente o Sistema de Símbolos Pictográficos para a Comunicação. Este estudo piloto teve lugar numa parceria entre a entidade formadora e a Associação Portuguesa de Pais e Amigos do Cidadão Deficiente Mental de Castelo Branco. Neste estudo, procuramos analisar o efeito que produz a leitura de uma história adaptada no Sistema de Símbolos Pictográficos para a Comunicação e numa canção, comparada com a leitura da história analógica e avaliar a importância do livro adaptado no Sistema de Sistema de Símbolos Pictográficos para a Comunicação para a literacia de crianças de Necessidades Educativas Especiais. Pretendeu-se ainda verificar o impacto dos recursos digitais, aferindo a existência ou não de diferenças ao nível da motivação, curiosidade, compreensão por parte das crianças. Consideramos que o sistema de Símbolos Pictográficos para a Comunicação, é um suporte tecnológico que contribui para o desenvolvimento de competências comunicativas, desenvolvimento da linguagem e da literacia, minimizando as barreiras de comunicação e beneficiando as crianças com necessidades educativas especiais, com uma maior e melhor interação social.
Resumo
O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar as limitações presentes nas normas brasileiras através da comparação com a regulamentação portuguesa e destacar possíveis propostas que possam contribuir ara uma metodologia mais exigente. Como estudo de caso, selecionou uma residência, com os padrões construtivos definidos no Programa Minha Casa, Minha Vida (PMCMV), para três cidades brasileiras com zonas bioclimáticas distintas e com isso, analisou os resultados obtidos através das seguintes metodologias: i) do método simplificado da norma brasileira NBR 15575; ii) do método prescritivo do RTQ-R; iii) do programa informático Design Builder. Através das análises dos resultados e da comparação com a metodologia da regulamentação portuguesa (REH), identificou as principais limitações que constam nas normas, como também os elementos que construtivos com maior influência nos ganhos e perdas de calor da edificação. Dessa forma, foi possível concluir que a metodologia prescritiva das normas brasileiras restringe a análise dos elementos de paredes e cobertura, ignorando o contributo pelos vãos envidraçados, assim como apresenta valores limites e metodologias diferenciadas para os mesmos parâmetros de avaliação entre as normas, o que podem conduzir a interpretações diversas. Visto que as normas já apresentam uma estruturação com base relativamente adequada, a incorporação das propostas na regulamentação surge como contribuição viável para uma metodologia mais exigente, ao valorizar os elementos construtivos determinantes ao edifício.
In the context of building rehabilitation, the phase of inspection and diagnosis is essential to
identify the materials and techniques applied, thus seeking intervention strategies compatible
with the existing building. The use of infrared cameras for this phase of diagnostic may
contribute to a less intrusive survey, without the need to use tests that damage the element.
The work performed consisted of a survey of study cases representing the utilization of different
techniques and materials. With the objective of identifying the constructive solutions and
applied materials, the active thermography was used, using the sun as a source of heating of
the element, and Thermograms were acquired during the cooling process of the elements. The
thermograms were visually analyzed in order to interpret the temperature variation and
radiation emission by the elements. The work allowed to assess the use of singular constructive
solutions, namely the ' Cruz de Santo André ' or ' Taipa de Fasquio ', as well as current
construction solutions with the use of masonry of stone or brick and structure in concrete.
Introdução: As doenças cardiovasculares são um grande risco de mortalidade na população. O principal responsável por esta doença é a
aterosclerose, que se deve a diferentes fatores de risco como a dislipidémia, a hipertensão arterial, a obesidade, a idade, o género, entre
outros. Para diagnóstico e avaliação da aterosclerose existem exames como o Triplex Scan Cervical. O principal objetivo do estudo é
estudar a doença ateromatosa em indivíduos com dislipidémia através do Triplex Scan Cervical.
Métodos: A amostra inclui 569 indivíduos, que realizaram Triplex Scan Cervical em 2019, no Hospital do Espírito Santo, em Évora.
Resultados: A média de idades dos indivíduos foi 78 anos. Os fatores de risco cardiovascular mais prevalentes foram a hipertensão arterial
e a dislipidémia. Na relação entre dislipidemia e aumento da gravidade do grau de estenose foi comprovada significância estatística entre
o fator de risco dislipidémia com o eixo carotídeo direito. No que concerne à significância estatística entre os fatores de risco cardiovascular
e a presença de aterosclerose com maior grau de gravidade, apenas foi comprovada correlação com o fator idade.
Discussão: Na amostra em estudo grande parte dos indivíduos apresentam
diversos fatores de risco cardiovascular, sendo que a maior prevalência foi registada na hipertensão arterial e na dislipidémia, pois são
existentes em mais de metade da população da amostra.
Conclusão: Com o presente estudo é possível concluir que nesta amostra existe uma prevalência de diversos fatores de risco em indivíduos
com valores de IIM acima da normalidade. O fator idade comprovou ser bastante influente na presença de aterosclerose. Dos indivíduos
com dislipidémia mais de metade apresentam aterosclerose, na sua fase mais precoce.
Each country has its spatial planning system, which comprises several instruments and objectives focused on city
issues and territorial development. On June 25, 1975, the independence of Mozambique was proclaimed,
following the end of the colonial war with the military coup of April 25 in Portugal and the Lusaka agreements on
September 7, 1974. Consequently, a new framework establishes the bases of public policies for this country,
whose main objective is to fulfill territorial quality concerning the collective culture that integrates the local
cultural values. Mozambique was an administrative part of Portugal until 1975. There is still a substantial
identity between the two countries, sharing the same language and politics, cultural aspects, and administrative
organization. In this sense, the present study aims to present a comparative analysis between Mozambique and
Portugal's spatial planning systems, seeking to find common characteristics. In conclusion, this research shows
similarities based on spatial land use in Mozambique and Portugal. However, there is a clear contrast between
land ownership and access. The level of implementation at a diverse level is notorious. We highlight the example
of Beira which has a comprehensive plan based on sustainable development and climate-change-resilient mitigation
proposals.
Abstract: Emerging economies are in an almost winless situation: they would benefit from improving
the extremely poor economic situation, making them self-reliant and economically productive.
However, the poor fight for daily survival and, therefore, cannot afford to improve themselves. This
article describes the state of the “Grande Hotel” in the city of Beira, Mozambique, built-in Portuguese
colonial times, a real vertical shanty building that is occupied by approximately 1000 inhabitants
trapped in poverty. To carry out any constructive intervention in a building or an urban complex,
it is necessary to carry out a rehabilitation project that is developed based on a diagnosis of the
building understudy, its main deteriorations, the causes, mechanisms of action, evolution, and
possible treatments to be used for its repair. Analysis methods are necessary for the conservation
of buildings since trying to stop, or correct buildings’ deterioration without a diagnosis of their
problems or a prognosis on their evolution is a risky procedure with a high percentage of failure
chances. The use of an appropriate methodology for diagnosing the damage present in the “Grande
Hotel” and its prediction of evolution and development should directly impact a better quality of
rehabilitation projects in the neighborhood where the building is located.
Abstract: Having in mind the objectives of the United Nations Development Agenda 2030, which
refers to the sustainable principles of a circular economy, it is urgent to improve the performance of the
built environment. The existing buildings must be preserved and improved in order to reduce their
environmental impact, in line with the need to revert climate change and reduce the occurrence of
natural disasters. This work had as its main goal to identify and define a methodology for promoting
the rehabilitation of buildings in the Ponte Gêa neighborhood, in the city of Beira, Mozambique,
with an emphasis on energy efficiency, water efficiency, and construction and demolition waste
management. The proposed methodology aims to create a decision support method for creating
strategic measures to be implemented by considering the three specific domains—energy, water,
and waste. This model allows for analyzing the expected improvement according to the action
to be performed, exploring both individual and community solutions. It encompasses systems of
standard supply that can reveal greater efficiency and profitability. Thus, the in-depth knowledge of
the characteristics of urban space and buildings allows for establishing guidelines for the renovation
process of the neighborhood.
The purpose of this article is to review the literature related to urbanism and climate change. First, an overview
of climate change policies is presented. A review of articles published in recent years that examine the various
research subareas related to urbanism climate change and the present pandemic situation is performed. The
concepts of green and biophilic urbanism have been growing and getting strength, as a holistic concept for tomorrows sustainable urban areas based on the consistent and safe use of energy, soil, water, green spaces,
materials, and mobility. These new trends are based on social needs, with integrated strategies and policies that combine adaptation and mitigation to face urban growth’s negative impact. The review focused on articles
published in the last 20 years with the keywords “urbanism” and “climate change”. This literature review became evident that there is a gap in urban studies about interdisciplinary research.
Improving the thermal performance of the historic building stock has the potential to revitalise these buildings
and reduce the operational energy share. To achieve that, the first requirement should be to identify and clearly
characterise the building stock. However, currently, there is a lack of knowledge regarding the thermal behaviour of traditional wall solutions, and, consequently, energy auditors often use assumptions and simplifications to predict it. Wrong estimations or excessive simplifications may have a severe impact on the thermal behaviour assessment and consequently on the effectiveness of the retrofitting measures. In the scope of buildings thermal comfort and energy efficiency, the thermal resistance of both the external and internal envelope is one of the most relevant parameters for the characterisation of building elements. This work investigates the in situ thermal resistance of a traditional wall solution (“tabique” wall) of a historic building located in the north region of Portugal. The Simple Hot Box - Heat Flow Meter Method (SHB-HFM), based on the procedure described in the standard ISO 9869, is considered in the present study and its applicability to heterogeneous traditional wall solutions is discussed. The importance of controlling the radiative part of the heat transfer onto the measuring sensors is highlighted, and new development to the method is proposed in this paper via the introduction of a baffle inside the SHB. Furthermore, a finite element computer model of the case study was developed in order to ensure that some important premises allowing improving the accuracy of the final results were achieved during the measurement period as well as to enhance the robustness of the obtained conclusions. The achieved results contribute to explore the applicability of the SHB-HFM to highly heterogeneous constructive solutions present in historic buildings, where the traditional HFM method may not be applicable. In addition, this research also aims to better understand the thermal behaviour of “tabique” walls, upon which the available information is scarce. The experimental measurements and numerical simulation results present a good agreement, and an R-value of 0.56 m2 °C W−1 is measured and computed.
