Casa do Estudante Universitário: Residência Universitária para o campus I da UFPB, em João Pessoa

Abstract

This work consists in the elaboration of a preliminary project of university residence for the students of the I campus of the Federal University of Paraíba, located in João Pessoa - PB, which comes as a criticism of the models commonly adopted by universities in last years. The preliminary project seeks to answer questions that go far beyond students, but also to study, to conscientize and to live, not only among themselves, but also with the surrounding community, making the residence a point of attractiveness to the use of people external to it. For this, the work, besides studying the need to a residence for the campus, also analyzes the history that led to the construction of the context in which the Brazilian residences are currently inserted, presenting possible solutions to problems such as the lack of connection with the environment of the university, isolating the residence within the campus boundaries. In response, the project is proposed to be deployed on land at the edge of the campus, where it makes with the residential area of ​​the Castelo Branco neighborhood, its location, adopting uses buildings on the ground floor of the building, open to residents thus strengthening the university-city link.
