Abstract

Later than in other cities of the country, but in the 1960s there were the first multifamily buildings in the capital of Alagoas in height, but is from the 1970s that this type of housing starts multiplying in the city of Maceió-AL, influenced Above all, the real estate sector and the political determination of the bourgeois class who saw the tall building a symbol of modernity and progress "status" - achievement within their power - and a quest for overcoming "our delay" with respect to large Brazilian cities since the 1920s had been doing this typology. However, what the configuration of the housing typology adopted in the first multifamily buildings in height built in Maceió? This thesis aims to understand the architectural typology of the first multifamily buildings that appeared in Maceió-AL during the decades of 1960-1970, considering formal and functional aspects of buildings and apartments. Therefore, cadastral surveys were conducted in the Department of Control and Urban Gathering (SMCCU), resulting in 30 buildings in seven districts of the city. Analyses subdivided into two steps: (1) type of buildings, observing the relationship batch x city, aspects and volumetric internal configuration. (2) type of spatial arrangement inside the apartment, noting the number of environments, scaling and geometry, and topology of the internal spatial arrangement, noting the link between sectors and these sectors connection with the outside. Regarding the volumetric buildings observed that buildings always start of a rectangular prism with operations of addition and subtraction, and with pillars remote from the boundaries of the lots. The use of free area for leisure did not materialize in the universe of buildings for lack of demand, since this activity was carried out in public spaces of the city. The analyzes show that the apartments over the typology was found three bedrooms and two bathrooms with maid. A predominance of plants batting and balconies; existence of the entrance hall of the suites and kitchens attached to the inner corridors of the sector; clear separation between kitchen and service and integration between living room and dining; big difference in the areas of rooms, with less variation in the dorms.
