A configuração geométrica dos elementos de controle solar e sua composição plástica em diferentes orientações solares em Aracajú

Abstract

The Architecture today, somehow, has given little evidence to usage of the façades on their buildings, as thought in the epoch of Modern Architecture, which called for better use of light and better suitability of the building as the local conditions of thermal and lighting comfort. Shapes and designed façades have been produced by distant constructive and aesthetic criteria of the principles of sustainability. It is not almost noticed, strictly speaking, the good treatment of the facades in question of the control of solar radiation that reaches the windows. By observing the dispersed way it has presented in urban settings, it becomes relevant the featuring of some aesthetic and functional patterns of these elements in the enveloping protection of building, relating them to their geometric configuration and plastic composition applied to the city of Aracajú, state capital of Sergipe, there was analyzed the way it is expressed in the local architecture pattern, as a counterpoint to the national reference models representative of this period of brazilian Architecture. Through computational tools and instrumentation of the solar chart for mapping the shadow masks, it was defined the lockout intervalo f this radiation having a response drawing the sunscreens formed from the combination of horizontal, vertical and obliqúe horizontal devices. Therefore, with the correspondence of the shadow mask it was allowed to list some variations protection for this latitude. The resulto f this work is a Schedule of different patterns and textures, tranlated by geometric compositions (rows and columns) that their efficiency hás highlighted the remarkable exhibition game of light and shadow.
