Padrões de referência da sustentabilidade de espaços do campus universitário Darcy Ribeiro da Universidade de Brasília

Abstract

This paper dealers with an analysis on the academic space in the campus of the University of Brasilia, some buildings and open spaces of this university are taken as the main examples. The analysis aims to establish patterns of social sustainability according as the following criteria: accessibility, security, environmental comfort and architectural appearance or size proportion (1. e. building aesthetic). The findings of this analysis show that the senate house, central library and the central restaurant buildings are sound. they have an excellent bioclimatic performance however the others, as for example the classroom buildings. have some short-comings principally in terms of environmental qualities (for example, height temperatures in their rooms) and urban scale in comparison with the existing buildings of the campus. This work recognizes that the social sustainability will be achieved when those architectural qualities were related to the main characteristics of the site (or campus) and also with the Brazilian landscape as a whole.
