| description |
This article presents a strategy in which urban blocks of buildings are adopted as the unit for renovation projects of built-up neighborhoods. The renovation of buildings and neighborhoods in order to achieve sustainability is a common practice in many cities and has been subject of various studies presented in the literature on urban renewal. In this paper, the renovation of an apartment building in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, focusing on sustainability and quality of life, brought about a change in scale, from building to urban block in the investigation. During the process of surveying the case in question, the uniformity of the buildings of Copacabana, the neighborhood chosen for the study, stood out. The majority of buildings use similar construction techniques, are 50 or more years old, have 10 to 12 floors and have courtyards in the center of the urban block. In most cases too, no gaps exist between buildings. The change in scale for renovation projects from single buildings to city blocks has important advantages. Renovation administration can be unified, greater financial and political cohesion can be achieved and infrastructure and services can be consolidated, among other benefits. The Smart Grid and Smart Cities concepts can be adopted for the existing buildings as well as future constructions within a block, since they are independent and can be integrated into complementary projects. In this study, the renovation projects considered: ground floors, basements and rooftops as connecting points for the development of a consolidated design. Selected solutions, made possible by adopting urban blocks as building units, are demonstrated, including their strategic potential. |

Este artigo apresenta a estratégia na qual as quadras urbanas são adotadas como unidade para projetos de renovação de bairros consolidados. A renovação de edifícios e de bairros visando a sustentabilidade são práticas comuns em diversas cidades e escopo de textos acadêmicos e projetos em elaboração e concluídos. Neste artigo, a renovação de edifícios de apartamentos no Rio de Janeiro, com foco na sustentabilidade e na qualidade de vida, será apresentada a mudança de escala proposta, do edifício para a quadra urbana, com base na pesquisa desenvolvida. No levantamento de objetos para estudo de caso, deparou-se com a uniformidade de características dos edifícios. A quase totalidade dos edifícios tem a mesma técnica construtiva e foram construídos há mais de 50 anos, 10 a 12 pavimentos, enquanto as quadras possuem espaços vazios no interior. Na maior parte dos edifícios são tem afastamentos entre si. A mudança de edifícios para quadras como unidade para projetos de renovação apresenta importantes benefícios: Um novo modelo de administração unificada, força econômica e política para iniciativas e projetos, soluções únicas de infraestrutura e serviços, entre outros. Os conceitos de Smart Grid e Smart Cities podem ser adotados entre os edifícios atuais assim como nas futuras construções nas quadras, com as quadras, atualmente independentes e que podem ser integrados em projetos complementares. Neste estudo, para os projetos de renovação das quadras, os pavimentos que tem áreas comuns, como térreos, subsolo e de cobertura, foram considerados com alto potencial de integração e de projeto único. Serão expostas as soluções selecionadas, viabilizadas pela adoção da quadra como unidade nos estudos conceituais para demonstrar o potencial da estratégia.
