ECOVILA: Vila sustentável bioconstruida com base na permacultura

Abstract

Bioconstruction is directly linked to permaculture, it is an activity considered as a philosophy of life that seeks to produce basic resources for human beings without harming nature. Encompassing various techniques of vernacular architecture, some centuries old, having stories and traditions in their experiences, aiming to prioritize existing materials in the place, such as earth, subtracting the costs of manufacturing and transport, building houses with reduced cost offering excellent thermal comfort. Bioconstructions are a very important element of permaculture, having as integration, buildings with the environment. In this way, sustainable construction seeks, from planning, execution and use, the greatest possible amount of use of available resources with the least impact. The proposal for a project of this nature in the city of João Monlevade - MG, aims to bring people closer to the socio-environmental life of the place, establishing links with nature, with a qualitative research being carried out with a survey on the subject. The architectural proposal is based on establishing a man/nature link implanted in the urban environment.
