Analysis, summary and evaluation

the design process of João Figueiras Lima, Lelé, in Sarah Kubitschek Network Hospitals

Abstract

The activity of designing presents an inherent complexity to the process, whose final solution must respond to a variety of requirements. It is noted a mistake in considering in this activity only the final product and not its continuous process. Many of the design reference publications are limited to presenting photos and describing the designs, without discussing the design team process to conception for architecture design. The aim of this article is to analyze architect Lelé's design process in Rede Sarah hospitals, in front of Rede Sarah's Technology Center. The research method consists of data collection; interviews with Lelé and a large part of his professional team and descriptive analysis of your design process. Subsequently, its design process is analyzed based on this information and specialized literature. The architect's concern with an integrated design process is clearly noted, considering all stages of the construction process: from interaction with users to the evaluation of the building in operation. In addition, it highlights the architect's stance regarding the acceptance of errors and how fundamental this is for the evolution of the design of later buildings.
