Environmental Design (3 Credit Units, 45 Credit Hours)
Professor: Juliano Pamplona Ximenes Pontes
Syllabus: Since the 1980s, at least there has been a discussion in the technical circles of Urbanism, Landscaping and Environmental Engineering on the intensity of the impact of territorial interventions and their socio-environmental and physical-environmental implications in the urban micro basin and metropolitan agglomerate scales. Ian McHarg's critique of the rationalist standard and non-observance of classical ecological dynamics in urban space reopened a growing debate about the need for and re-evaluation of "comprehensive" positions such as territorial intervention, landscape alteration, and the production of the built environment human.
The aim of the subject is to discuss and present concepts, methods and technologies of approaches associated with this review around the disciplinary field of Urbanism, from the contents of the so-called Bioengineering, of the so-called "Sustainable Drainage" by Environmental Engineering and if they are intended to have a low socio-environmental impact.
