A arquitetura industrializada e a fabricação digital: uma reflexão sobre os fatores de influência das trans-formações na indústria da construção cívil

Abstract

This dissertation discusses the beginning of the use of computer-aided design. The goal is to create a counterpoint between parametric architecture and mass-customized printing, adopted in Europe, the USA, and Asia, with Brazilian industrialized architecture using Lelé and Niemeyer's experience with pre-cast construction. The difficulties and potential of using digital technology by architects, the impact on efficiency, creativity and the transformation of architectural projects are questioned. In these three vectors, a reflection is created on the influencing factors of transformations in the construction industry. The evolution of these technologies over time is analyzed, highlighting their influence on the design stages, construction deadlines and their insertion in the community. Digital optimization and mass customization are considered revolutionary elements in challenging traditional conceptions. The interference caused by the implementation of constructions for mega events, using these digital architecture innovations, in the established urban fabric is questioned. The relationship between architects and available technologies with innovations in architectural geometry and digital manufacturing is discussed, highlighting the importance of social inclusion, respect for local cultural diversity and care for the environment. It concludes by emphasizing the advantages of an improvement in the teaching of architecture and urban planning courses, addressing this subject of computer-aided architecture and a possible incorporation of digital optimization and mass customization for use with the Brazilian construction industry. with emphasis on the importance of always promoting social inclusion and environmental care
