Estudo de caso: avaliação da percepção dos usuários do ateliê de desenho da Faculdade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo (FAU/UFAL)

Abstract

The curriculum of the Design course at the Federal University of Alagoas has a workload predominantly focused on practical activities. These are carried out in person in spaces such as the drawing studio. Since most students who enter the Design course have their first contact with the course environment by staying in the studio, the present research is focused on the investigation of this space in order to propose changes to improve its use. Based on the project planning methodology proposed by Karlen (2010), we built a Diagnosis and Prognosis table, pointing out possible solutions to the problems of ergonomics, use of furniture, thermal, lighting and acoustic comfort, experienced by the students of the course. A case study was carried out based on the conditions of the FAU/UFAL design studio, in the pandemic and post-pandemic context, as well as on the results of the analyzes arising from the application of a qualitative quantitative questionnaire. We conclude that it is possible to make changes in the space of the design studio that do not need to change the structure of the environment, but rather in the reorganization and adaptation of the existing space.
