The emission of unwanted noise generates noise pollution and
disrupts peace. As a result, millions of people are exposed daily
to various urban environmental noises, which, depending on the
intensity and duration of exposure, can trigger a range of health
problems. João Pessoa, the capital of Paraíba, has experienced
rapid growth, much of it driven by strong tourism. Some
academic studies have already highlighted various noise
pollution issues in the city. In order to contribute to this issue,
this study aims to analyze the environmental noise perceived by
the population of João Pessoa between 2018 and 2023, aiming
to contribute to urban noise management and promote a more
sustainable city. To achieve this objective, complaints about
environmental noise registered by the Municipal Department of
the Environment (SEMAM) during the mentioned period were
used, applying tools to assess urban noise in three stages. The
first stage consisted of a quantitative analysis, generated from
records made to SEMAM, categorizing these records by
location, type of source, and the environment in which the
source is situated, aiming to identify the main sources of
occasional noise and the neighborhoods with the highest
concentration of complaints. In the second stage, the research
focused on spatializing the collected records by producing
complaint maps for each year included in the study period,
visually representing the state of the city regarding the
complaints. The maps generated in this stage were produced
using the MyMaps tool and the Qgis® software. The third stage
involved analyzing the current complaint registration system
used by SEMAM and, through a comparison with systems from
other states, providing suggestions for improvements that could
be adopted, aiming to make the work of employees and
inspectors easier and facilitate the development of future
analyses, like those conducted in this research. As results, it was
observed that, within the six-year period, complaints indicated a
large amount of noise originating from commercial
establishments and amplified sound equipment, mostly
concentrated in the neighborhoods along the coastline of João
Pessoa/PB. Additionally, the data suggest a possible behavioral
change in the population after the Covid-19 pandemic,
highlighted by the large volume of records made on weekends,
particularly in the evening, from 7 PM to 10 PM, in accordance
with Decree No. 4,793 (2003) of the city of João Pessoa. By
understanding the specific dynamics of environmental noise in
João Pessoa, the research can contribute to the development of
effective measures to reduce the impact of this noise, improving
the quality of life for residents and assisting with the citys
sustainable planning

Historically, despite political and administrative
achievements, such as the recognition of their lands in the
1990s and 2000s, the Potiguaras have experienced
territorial conflicts of various kinds, from territories that
have not yet been recognized to phenomena such as
summer vacations. The center of the municipality of Baía
da Traição, although not within the boundaries of the
Indigenous Lands, is part of the Potiguara territoriality and
is where a series of processes can be seen, such as summer
vacations, which have emerged since the 1960s. This
phenomenon has caused a series of dynamics that have
had a negative impact on the territory and indigenous
relations such as real estate speculation but also a
positive impact, such as the integration of Potiguara
culture into economic dynamics, even if seasonal,
consequently generating liminal relationships. All of these
processes are articulated with a complex network of agents
that often have multifaceted functions. Given this scenario,
this research aims to investigate the territorial liminality in
the coastal villages of the Potiguara Indigenous Land and
in the center during the summer, addressing the
interactions between public authorities and indigenous
communities. To this end, the research was based on a
bibliographic and documentary review, anchored in
several disciplinary fields, and investigates indigenous
policies. It was also based on field research that combined
on-site observations with interviews with several agents -
indigenous and non-indigenous, in the classifications of
vacationers, employees and leaders, entrepreneurs and
residents. With this, it investigates the spatialization of
these dynamics and relationships between agents using a
multi-scale approach in the municipality of Baía da
Traição. The research reveals that the Potiguara coastal
villages have experienced significant changes due to the
increase in summer tourism in the last decade. The
economic benefits for the Potiguara community, such as
employment opportunities and income generation, stand
out. However, it also raises challenges, such as cultural
mischaracterization, environmental impact and territorial
conflicts that interfere with Potiguara territoriality. In
short, the dissertation highlights the complexity of the
relationships between summer tourism and Potiguara
territoriality, emphasizing the importance of seeking a
balance between economic development and cultural and
environmental preservation.

This study investigates the socio-spatial patterns and
urban configuration of Ilha de Itamaracá, located in
the Metropolitan Region of Recife (RMR), between
2000 and 2010. Previous studies indicate that the
island's urban growth in earlier decades was driven
by a metropolitan middle class attracted to seasonal
tourism. However, the decline of this activity seems
to have solidified a negative perception of the island
in parts of the media and public opinion. From this
debate, this research explores the hypothesis that
the lack of strategic investments contributed to the
municipality's stagnation, influencing scenarios of socio-spatial segregation and unequal population
distribution, shaped by a transforming urban
configuration.The research focuses on analyzing the
resident population, examining how the urban
structure relates to the socio-spatial organization of
different groups inhabiting this seasonal tourist
destination. Using the Theory of the Social Logic of
Space (space syntax) and data from IBGE, the study
analyzed the island's urban structure, identifying
distinct locations and key transformations over the
period. Socio-spatial patterns were examined through
the classification of variables related to basic
sanitation (sewage, water, and waste collection),
population density, and income, at the scale of
census tracts. The results reveal the complexity of
the island's patterns, with segregated areas due to
the fragmentation of the urban structure, that has
evolved little over the decades. A disproportionate
distribution of basic sanitation services across
different areas was also observed. Moreover,
although the socioeconomic profile underwent
changes, the most accessible areas, particularly
those near the sea, remain predominantly occupied
by higher-income groups.

Urban sprawl is a common process in large Brazilian cities, which creates different patterns of urban density in municipalities. This thesis investigates the growth and urban dispersion of the municipality of Conde between the years 2000 and 2022 in order to analyze the different patterns of urban density. Within the literature on urban density in Brazilian municipalities, little attention has been paid to the case of small municipalities, so little is known about the impacts of urban growth on their territory. In this sense, this thesis argues that studying the patterns of urban density in a municipality is crucial to understanding how to strategically plan its urban development. In order to identify and estimate density patterns, geostatistical treatment was used on spatial data and on variables such as land parceling, public infrastructure, public facilities, mobility and the environment. Three urban areas were identified and analyzed separately to compare their shape and morphology. Each of these areas has distinct characteristics of the municipality's urbanization process and specific infrastructure challenges. This scenario is aggravated by the lack of adequate urban planning and the absence of effective public policies to manage the municipality's urban sprawl.

This thesis starts from the premise that there is substantial and lasting interest in the interactions between built space and cinema, which justifies an epistemological reflection on the subject. Despite abundant literary production over more than a century, few studies offer significant contributions in this regard, resulting in a dispersed, repetitive, and often superficial bibliography. To propose an autonomy centered in the field of architecture and urbanism, which is often eclipsed by approaches from other humanities disciplines, an organizational effort was undertook, drawing from a wide range of works in which were identified the elements that Jairo Borges-Andrade (2003) expects to be consolidated in a research line, including its boundaries, direction, concepts, and procedures. This approach involves the establishment of a focus on the representation of urban space in narrative films, exploring its formal qualities; a historiographical investigation of the discourse on the relationships between built space and cinema; the definition of the concept of filmic space and its various categories; and the compilation of analytical procedures that can equip researchers to interpret the communicative aspects of urban filmic space.

Violence and fear of crime significantly influence the use and appropriation of public spaces by various social groups, especially those in more vulnerable positions in society. Women, marginalized from public spaces due to gender and fear of sexual violence, are more likely to restrict their behavior and freedom of movement within the city. When it comes to women living in slums, the overlap of gender, class and race inequalities puts them at additional risk of fear and insecurity in urban mobility due to their living conditions, low incomes, and lack of quality in infrastructure and urban design, which increase the potential for conflicts, crime, and violence and enable organized and armed groups to establish alternative and informal spheres of power. In João Pessoa, Centro, Varadouro and Trincheiras neighborhoods are particularly affected by high rates of violent deaths of women, resulting from the actions of drug trafficking factions and the climate of civil war that pervades the daily life of these neighborhoods. This thesis investigates how violence affects womens appropriation of public spaces, with the primary research objective of understanding the relationship between female appropriation of public spaces and the context of violence in communities in João Pessoas communities, particularly in areas with high rates of lethal violent against women. The research methods are based on short and long interviews conducted with women passersby, workers, and residents of the study area. The methodological approach begins with the analysis of daily life and womens perceptions, incorporating a nuanced dimension that accounts for the emotions elicited during the appropriation of public space. The thesis contends that womens appropriation and movement through public spaces in these communities would be conditioned and constrained by territorial boundaries related to armed groups, compounding existing inequalities of race, class and gender, with further spatial restrictions driven by the civil war-like conditions that would permeate daily life in these neighborhoods.

This dissertation aims to analyze the tectonics of architectural
designs that use bamboo as a structural element, taking as a
cut examples produced in Indonesia and Brazil between 2013
and 2023: Ananda House (2015) and The Arc (2021) - IBUKU;
Refúgio das Borboletas (2023) - Helena Ruette. The
justification for this research is based on the contribution of
the tectonic analysis regarding the architectural proposals that
explore the expressive potential of bamboo as a support for
the loads of the object intended in the formal design, aiming to
collaborate with future architectural productions that see the
potential of this unconventional material and become aware of
the aggravating scenario of climate change, resulting from the
exacerbated exploitation of the planet's natural - finite -
resources. To achieve this objective, the methodological
procedure is based on a bibliographic review, followed by the
selection of projects, data collection and application of the
analytical parameters of tectonics, proposed by Rocha (2012),
in which it is important to discern the relationships of the site,
resistant structure and placement elements to the aestheticformal result of the architecture. In this sense, the results
observed infer that the tectonic narrative of the architectural
projects that propose structural bamboo is expressed more
strongly through the flexibility in the use of the grass, as well
as through its technical details necessary for the relationship
between the formal elements of architecture, by establishing a
design process in line with the characteristics of the
constructive culture of the raw material.

In recent years a global increase in energy consumption is
being observed, with residential buildings accounting for a
significant proportion of this consumption. In addition,
occupant behaviour is a significant factor regarding the
buildings thermal and energy performance. Users adopt
adaptive behaviours to meet their indoor comfort needs.
Understanding the impact of these behaviours on thermal
performance and energy consumption can help identify
ways to improve energy consumption and thermal
performance of buildings. This work aims to understand
how users' adaptive behaviour and use and occupancy
patterns influence the thermal performance of multi-family
social housing. For this purpose, the research has been
divided into 4 main stages: a systematic review based on
the PRISMA methodology, monitoring of a residential unit
in a multi-family building, computational modelling using
the tools SketchUP, OpenStudio and EnergyPlus,
calibration of the simulation model using the indicators
established in the ASHRAE guidelines 14, and finally,
evaluation of the thermal performance according to the
simulation method of NBR 15. 575/2021, analysing
variations in user behaviour, occupancy patterns, different
floors and orientations, using indicators such as annual
thermal load and percentage of hours of occupancy within
an operative temperature range (PHFT). In the results
obtained in terms of calibration, the initial simulation
showed satisfactory results, with NMBE and CV(RMSE)
values below those defined by ASHRAE guidelines 14 of
10% and 30% respectively, which indicates that the
simulation can be considered calibrated. The final model
of the calibration process showed a slightly significant
increase in the coefficient of determination R² and the
correlation coefficient (R). In terms of thermal
performance, the results show that the annual cooling
thermal load, as well as the PHFT, varies significantly
between floors and orientations, highlighting the
importance of considering these factors in the design and
evaluation of the thermal performance of buildings

Buildings tend to get uncomfortable when not adapted to the
local climate, specially those located in harsh climates. In the
Brazilian semi-arid some months of the year are very hot and
dry with intense levels of solar radiation, which gets absorbed
by the building envelope resulting in high indoor Operative
Temperature levels. Rowhouses, built in the boundaries of the
building site with a stretched rectangular shape, are a very
common architectural type in the brazilian semi-arid. Therefore,
this study aims to investigate the thermal performance of the
rowhouse type in harsh climate conditions. The object of this
study is a building located in Juazeiro do Norte, Ceará, in the
semi-arid portion of the state. The process of elaboration and
calibration of the virtual model was carried out on EnergyPlus
software. The (3D) digital model was built usind data acquired
in: a) architectural survey of the building; b) climate monitoring
of the building through twelve complete days (indoor
measurements of dry-bulb temperature, globe temperature,
relative humidity and air speed) and data obtained by consulting
the recommended literature. The calibrated model allowed the
development of adapted models with diferente site
configurations and the use of passive cooling strategies like
insulation and thermal mas of the buildings walls and roof. The
following thermal performance criteria were assessed:
Percentage of Hours in the Operative Temperature Range and
Maximum Operative Temperature of the prolonged stay indoor
environments and the house unit as a whole. The results of the
base model simulation indicated that the bedroom is the room
with the highest percentage of hours in the recommended
Operative Temperature range, being 42% of the annual
occupied hours, and the results for the house unit as a whole
indicated a 32% annual percentage. Regarding the Maximum
Operative Temperature, the bedroom presented the lowest
value, 31.4°C, in comparison to the living and dining rooms,
which presented the same value of 34.2°C, attributed as the
annual Maximum Operative Temperature of the house unit. The
study concludes that it is necessary to apply passive cooling
strategies to improve the living conditions in rowhouses located
in the brazilian semi-arid region

A schools Ethos: the graduation of the architect in Recife
(1932-1974)

The historiography of Brazilian architecture, for almost 80 years,
highlights the modern architecture developed in Recife,
highlighting the role of the Architecture course created in 1932
at the School of Fine Arts of Pernambuco in the formation of
generations of architects. This modernist production from
Pernambuco is often referred to as Escola do Recife;
however, there are debates in the literature about the term and
its meaning. This thesis reflects on the existence of an
autonomous school of architecture in Pernambuco. The
question arises whether it would be just a historiographical
denomination, or a set of foundations shared between teachers
and students in the academic environment and applied in
professional practice and whether such foundations can
constitute a school. The investigation focuses on the course, the
agents involved managers, professors, students, etc. and to
the predominant teaching methods, based on the assumption
that it is in the architecture course that the production and
reproduction of ideas occurs. As a theoretical-methodological
key, we approach the idea of Ethos, understood as a set of
traits and modes of behavior that shape the identity of a
collective. Thus, we studied the ethos of the Recife Architecture
course. In addition, we carried out documentary research on the
course's institutional collection, made available by Memorial
Denis Bernardes-UFPE, in addition to interviews with 18
graduates of the course, interpreted through Content
Analysis.The results made it possible to identify the elements
that characterize the Recife School ethos in four categories. In
the teaching ethos, the Recife course combined the standards
of the Ministry of Education with the ideas of modern
architecture, with concern for environmental comfort as one of
the main points conveyed. The social ethos, analyzed through
the profiles of the subjects involved, showed that many worked
at local, regional and national levels. In terms of cultural ethos, it
was observed that Pernambuco presented a favorable context
for education, architecture and arts, facilitating the installation of
the institution. Regarding the ethos of the place, we identified
the important role of the buildings occupied by the course in
shaping the groups identity. Initially located on Rua Benfica, the
course had a small school body, generating a fertile teaching
atmosphere for the schools formation. In the 1950s, the
formation of the Faculty and the move to the Olinda Seminary
Headquarters, and later to its own headquarters on Avenida
Conde da Boa Vista, saw the school body mature. n the 1970s,
with the university reform of 1969, and with the formation of the
Department of Architecture and Urbanism and the move to the
University City in 1974, a change in the constitutive ethos was
observed, culminating in the extinction of the Faculty that same
year. The approach to understanding the Ethos of this group, in
its four dimensions, leads us to a repositioning of the debate
regarding its understanding as a school in fact. We believe that
from them the term school can be used, because the Escola do
Recife was a group in which the process of transmitting
knowledge occurs between masters and epigones, that is,
between architects, artists and engineers who graduated a first
generation of architects, who later become part of the teaching
staff of the school, feeding back into this teaching environment,
an isolated environment that contributed to the construction of a
cohesive identity. Furthermore, the content discussed by this group, especially regarding the practice of modern architecture
adjusted to the place, ended up altering - as studies have
already demonstrated - the built environment in which the group
operated.

Mostrar Resumen
-
In recent decades, the educational context has undergone transformations in the teaching-learning process. The traditional school gradually surrenders to the models of innovative schools, with student-centered methodologies, since knowledge occurs through the construction of thought in which the student becomes active and produces his own knowledge. However, the construction elements and furniture of these environments have changed little, with the traditional classroom predominating in most schools, with chairs in a row, facing the board and with little interaction between students. From this perspective, this research aims to understand how innovative learning environments potentially contribute to the teaching-learning process of children. For this, two schools from the private education network of the municipality of João Pessoa/PB were chosen, which propose innovative theoretical-methodological approaches. It consists of a descriptive, exploratory and qualitative research, with a multi-method methodological approach and the use of several approaches and tools for collection. The methodology was divided into 4 stages: 1 Literature Review, through the Systematic Literature Review; 2 - Built Environment, based on 3 interrelated phases, Phase 1 - Selection of the Learning Environment, with the visit and selection of an innovative learning environment per school; Phase 2 - Environmental Analysis, through the walkthrough and the Semi-Structured Interview with key people; and Phase 3 - Identification of the Spatial Configuration, based on the General Ergonomic Guidelines and Technical Specifications of the Conceptual Model of the Learning Environment - CMLE by Sarmento (2017); 3 User Perception, with the application of the Behavioral Map (centered on the place) and Visual Selection with the teachers; and finally, 4 Data analysis and discussions, bringing an overview of the environments analyzed, highlighting the main findings in the Discovery Matrix and the elaboration of the Design Guidelines for Innovative Learning Environments with a focus on Maker Spaces, based on the intersection between Innovative Learning Environments and Creative Environments, and the technical visits carried out in other institutions. In the results, it was understood that the Maker Spaces analyzed are very rich for the teaching-learning process, as well as the spaces of the institutions visited, taking into account the innovative learning environments and the creative ambiences, generating the DGILE-MS, in order to contribute to the conception of projects aimed at these spaces. It is concluded that innovative learning environments, such as the Maker Spaces, in schools, provide several stimuli and creative environments that enhance the teaching-learning process in a significant way.

This dissertation investigates centrality, form and uses, focusing on three
squares of the Professor Antônio Gonzaga Chimbinho Cultural Corridor, in
Mossoró (RN). Studies relate location and form in public spaces with diverse
intensities and people, underlying spatial patterns and activities that favour
social and microeconomic life. The Cultural Corridor with nine squares is
publicized as the citys cultural heart, while existing studies describe it as
having segmented uses. It has not yet been studied, specifically, relations
between form and uses at the Corridor, and at different sections of this space.
This research investigates the hypothesis that the Cultural Corridor is used by
diverse people, related with its central location in the city, and that there are
different sections, with different relations between urban form and vitality. The
Cultural Corredor centrality was investigated via space syntax, and three
squares were selected to relate urban form (land uses, buildings) of the
immediate and walkable surroundings, with urban vitality. Urban vitality was
investigated by intensity (with behaviour mapping) and diversity of uses
(questionnaire survey). Results confirm the Cultural Corridor as very integrated
in the city and used by diverse people, varying between the squares, related to
varying uses. The least accessible square attracted less people and variety of
groups, with less surrounding addresses. The other squares, more central, had
more frequenters, however, with different gender and temporal proportions.
Results advance in understanding complexities of a Cultural Corridor that does
not seem segmented, rather representing many types of urban lives

The object of study presented here are supermarkets located in the city
of João Pessoa- PB. The dissertation seeks to investigate differrent
spatial configuration patterns and strategies for the sales areas of the
study units, segmented by the social stratification of the neighborhoods
in which they are located. The BeMais supermarket chain, which
continues to expand, initially established itself in class C and D
neighborhoods, located in the South zone of the city, the most populous
area of the capital, and is currently focusing on expanding its stores to
the East zone, class B. Within these new supermarket units, changes in
physical and spatial configurations are observed. Therefore, the
research verifies whether these new models, located in areas with high
socioeconomic indexes, when compared to others, change based on
signs that drive the differentiation of space. Focusing on the object,
understanding its function, the aim is to answer the question proposed
by the research through a methodological framework, made up of
several analysis tools and techniques, including Space Syntax, based on
defined analytical criteria. at the heart of the problem. Thus, visual
fields and their concepts, space representation techniques and spatial
measurements dialogue with the conceptual apparatus, responding to
the questions raised in the investigation process. The results indicate
differences in physical standards, notably visual ones, highlighting
lighting and finishing materials, as well as spatial configurations, in
particular the layout and visual fields identified in supermarket spaces.
Finally, the research suggests the exploration of self-services in their
different typologies and the reproduction of urban fragmentation
through tertiary space, as future perspectives.

Currently, mobility support policies have focused on
strategies that encourage walking, as it is the most
elementary, democratic and universal way of traveling.
However, we have to ask ourselves, is the journey really
that democratic? This research investigates one of the
nuances of defining the social roles that structure
society: the definition of man and woman, masculine
and feminine and their impositions of significance and
meaning when traveling on foot in the city. The study
aims to develop a Gender-Sensitive Walkability Index,
revealing the experience of women who walk in the city.
To this end, it proposed an exploratory, qualitativequantitative approach, which considers stages of
bibliographic review and field validation. The results
showed that the Perception of Safety is the most
important factor in female travel decisions, making it
necessary for them to adjust routes, schedules, routes
and behavior patterns that can help maintain their
physical, psychological and sexual integrity. and morals.
As women are different and their relationship with the
city is also intersectional, it was also evaluated how
some conditions can interfere more or less with the
walk, which ended up confirming the perception that
there are different degrees of importance between
criteria and indicators, for the creation of an Index that
truly responds to the needs of women in the city.

Mostrar Resumen
-
The precarious walking conditions in our cities are
largely the result of a car-oriented urban planning
approach that does not prioritize pedestrians. This
problem is even worse for the elderly population,
which, although growing, faces greater restrictions
when walking. This dissertation aims to understand
the relationship of the elderly with urban mobility,
investigating physical, environmental, and social
factors associated with the walkability of this group.
The pedestrian infrastructure of the IBGE census
sector (2010) with the highest number of elderly
people in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, was the
object of study for this research. Initially, a Segment
Angular Analysis (SAA) was conducted to identify the
road segments most used by pedestrians in this
spatial cutout. Next, a Behavioral Analysis was carried
out through behavioral mapping, photographic
surveys, and searching for urban traces.
Subsequently, the Elderly Walkability Index (EWI) was
constructed and applied in this spatial cutout, drawing
from other walkability indices that address the elderly,
allowing the identification of the facilities and
challenges faced during pedestrian movement across
different categories and attributes. Finally, the EWI
categories and attributes were evaluated and weighted
through the application of questionnaires with the
elderly. The index results reveal the existence of basic
infrastructure for walkability in the study area, but with
a need for improvement in all explored categories. The
questionnaire results demonstrated the elderly's
dissatisfaction with the quality of public spaces and
some discrepancies concerning the EWI scores.

Mostrar Resumen
-
This research is based on the problem of spatial production in the central areas of medium-sized cities, studying the case of Campina Grande, a city that exerts an important regional influence on the urban hierarchy, especially in the state of Paraíba. When dealing with the central area, we talk about the different processes to which this spatiality is conditioned: sometimes valorisation and sometimes devaluation, processes of permanence and transformation, competition between the most profitable use, new and old properties, different regulations, emptying and intensification of land use, or even areas that undergo demolition processes and constitute a market reserve for the arrival of new real estate interest. Following this panorama, in Campina Grande we can observe different interests and urban agents present in this production, supported by actions by the public authorities that seek to maintain this main centre as an area of real estate interest. However, this interest is marked by conflicting or incongruous relations with urban planning and heritage guidelines. The hypothesis here is that between the theory and the practice that has been implemented in Campina Grande there are agents who act and influence the urban policy process, involving public and private interests, legislative changes and the weakening of heritage and urban planning regulations with the approval of projects that go against the regulatory apparatus. The general aim of this research is to analyse the production of urban space in the central area of Campina Grande from the 2000s onwards in order to understand the continuation of spatial transformations that are out of step with urban planning and heritage legislation. In terms of analysing these transformations, the main contribution of this study is to investigate the licensing processes carried out in the public sphere, revealing the clashes and conflicts between private and public agents in order to consolidate the image of a new centre. To do this, we consulted the administrative processes of the Department of Norms and Regulations - Campina Grande City Hall (PMCG) and the Archives of the Paraíba Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAEP). The data collected and the theoretical and methodological analyses adopted contributed to an understanding of the intertwining of the public and private sectors in the promotion of market planning in the central area, either through the implementation of equipment and redevelopment actions or through the negotiation of heritage with the regulatory framework.

This research deals with the influence of two transformative phenomena in the northeastern urban space in the 19th and 20th centuries: street markets and the train. Historically, street markets were one of the essential economic activities for the occupation of the national territory, paving the way for the growth of hitherto isolated areas and preceding the implementation of railway transport, as a strong ally in the economic growth of popularly known urban centers. road junctions. With the arrival of the railway, cities became stages of urban transformations that affected not only the urban landscape, but the customs and daily lives of their inhabitants. These impacts affected the largest and most dynamic urban centers in the world, as well as small provinces and villages in Brazilian territory, such as the municipality of Itabaiana, our research object. The city of Itabaiana has a historical tradition with important cattle fairs and its trade was boosted after the arrival of the train. After the railway decline and the rise of road transport, the city started to appropriate the railway heritage as a way of improving the activities of market traders, which runs the risk of suffering a loss of character in the local urban context. Therefore, this present work aims to investigate the reappropriation of the railway heritage of the city of Itabaiana, located in the countryside of Paraíba, in the context of the central free market. Its aim is to memorialize the influence of railway heritage on the urbanization of cities in Paraíba, as well as the preservation of local memories of transforming agents at railway stations.

In the wake of its consolidation on the national landscape, Brazilian modern architecture became widely accepted by the countrys population in the 1950s, spreading throughout the entire territory of Brazil. This decade was marked by economic, political, and social transformations; the middle class was growing in numbers and adopting a more urban lifestyle, leading to the formation of an incipient consumer society. Within this context, significant social strata adopted the formal vocabulary typical of the modern as a value and a symbol of status, capable of expressing their desire for modernity. As a result, thousands of houses built in residential neighborhoods in the 1950s and 1960s incorporated a modern formal language on their façades, even without the presence of an architect in the projects development. This phenomenon resulted in a highly diversified production, of modern heritage, which has been overlooked by mainstream historiography, lacking in-depth studies and representing a gap to be investigated. In light of the foregoing, the present dissertation assumes, as its object of study, single-family residences with modern language whose projects, located in the archives of the Municipal Government of João Pessoa, were not conceived by architects. The main objective is to understand the "routinization" (CANDIDO, 1984) and assimilation of this architecture in the city of João Pessoa, Paraíba, in the 1960s, as a response and expression of the middle class's desire to align with the ideas of progress and modernity of the time, appropriating, on the facades of their residences, modern formal elements already prevalent in Brazil. Aiming to investigate how these processes unfolded, first, we seek to delineate a general overview of the 1950s, seeking to understand the formation of a consumer society and how the phenomenon of modernity and modernization manifested themselves in the capital of the state of Paraíba. To explore this modern architectural production, we apply a broader approach, considering the role of media and advertising, as well as other important agents, in the routinization of modern vocabulary, making modern architecture part of the everyday life of the Brazilian population. To explore this modern architectural production, we apply a more comprehensive approach, taking into consideration the role of the media and advertising, as well as other important agents, in the spread of a palatable modern architecture, also accessible to society in general. Moreover, we hope this study will allows us to obtain a more complete picture of the modern residential architecture in the city, providing a record of a production that has been swiftly disappearing in the past decades and expanding the local historiography on Brazilian modern architecture.

The presence of the indigenous population is recognized in the city of Icó, in Ceará, since before the colonial period. The toponymy, the Tale of the Sleeping Whale, the Middle Street, and the clay craftsmanship of Santa Maria are some of these signs and places that represent distinct groups from those that are depicted in the city's image and monuments today. However, these people do not compose, beyond the memories os slavery and colonization, the narratives of the city, resulting in the process of forgetting and invisibilization of these individuals and their territories. With the aim of expanding other narratives about the city's history, incorporating indigenous memories, this work aims to weave a critique of the records considered official, confronting them with the memories collected during the research process, tensioning the "official" history and the places of dispute and representation in the city. The methodology ti be followed is that proposed by Maurício de Abreu (2014), with involves the intersection of various sources (books, historical documents, photographs, narratives, perceptions), to counterpose the "official" and "non-official" memories, individual and collective actions, of these groups, for which processes have been historically operated that criminalize their lives and delegitimize their bodies and territories. Thus, the research unfolds in search os the memories and stories of fundamental groups for the formation and development of the city of Icó, such as the descendants os the Icós, Tapuia tribe of the Cariri Nation, first inhabitants of the area where the city is located today. The recounting of history implies updating the memory that one has, or lack, about the groups and spaces.

The work is based on the understanding of a relationship between movie
theaters and urban space. Understanding that such equipment is part of an
urban context of modernization, the research aims to investigate the link
between cinema exhibition activities, as a cultural component of urban
dynamics, with the city, between the period of 1897, the arrival of cinema in
city, and 1970, the end of its heyday. Analyzing the socio- spatial
transformations that the habit of attending cinemas produces, based on the
case study of the city of João Pessoa/PB, it is identified that the appearance
and description of street cinema theaters had great relevance in the
production of a more active urban social life in the capital of Paraíba,
coinciding with the reform process that was taking place in most Brazilian
cities. Relying on Lefebvre's methodological approach to the production of
space and a theoretical contribution based on the spatio-temporal processes of
cinemas, a historical trajectory of these theaters in the city's space was
constructed, identifying two main moments: the first corresponds to the
insertion and development of cinema in a city that was experiencing a process
of urban modernization; and the second is marked by the period from August
with greater activity in cinemas until when theaters begin to decline, a
moment in which the city begins its most blatant expansion. This historical
path is supported by bibliographic research on the urban modernization
process of João Pessoa, in hemerographic research as a way of understanding
the socio-spatial dynamics of cinemas during the same period, as well as in the
construction of a mapping of theaters in each decade of cinema study.

Planned as spaces for health recovery, hospitals are
sources of traumatic, stressful and threatening

disorientation, lack of physical comfort and deprivation
of the family environment. Thus, the affective

environmental response with direct impacts on the
physiological process with modulation of environmental
cognition, a central context in the person-environment
relationship. Despite advances in hospital architecture

efficiencies, its modern and 'clean' appearance; It is not
clear in the architectural literature to what extent these
projects aimed at the recovery of human health took
into account aspects of value, ethics and affection of
users in their modeling configurations. Thus, the
objective of this work is to systematize a guide

This dissertation identifies representative frames of the
architectural scene published by the specialized magazines
Projeto and AU in the period from 1985 to 1992 and, based on
them, discusses the place that architecture produced in the
Northeast region occupies in the scope of criticism and projects
in these editions.
The resumption of specialized periodicals in the 1970s
constituted the reestablishment of communication channels
between architects and occurred in parallel with the
restructuring of debates in Brazil. The emergence of Projeto
magazine (1972) and, when it was already consolidated, in the
mid-1980s, the launch of AU magazine (1985), were milestones
in this process. These two magazines brought news, criticism
and projects on the most varied topics to the national
architecture scene and, for many years, they were responsible
for disseminating such content. In this same phase, the
consolidation and multiplication of undergraduate and
postgraduate centers reinforced this favorable intellectual
environment for the production of texts on 20th century
architecture in Brazil. Based on the themes and meta-events
highlighted in the editions, as well as the editorial perspectives
of the magazines Projeto and AU, with greater frequency and
longevity in those years, tables were first drawn up that dealt
with the conjunctures and interests related to architecture in that
period so that, in then, trace the relationships between the
architecture produced in the Northeast that is published and the
discussions held in this scenario. In this way, it was possible to
reflect on the place of this production within the national
framework, as well as on its representation in these two
vehicles.
