Proposta de anteprojeto arquitetônico no Município de Palmas – TO, utilizando a técnica tradicional em terra crua adobe (bloco)

Abstract

This monograph proposes the development of an architectural preliminary design for a single-family residence located in Palmas, Tocantins, employing the traditional adobe construction technique. The research is based on the observation that the construction industry is one of the main contributors to global environmental impacts, especially due to its high demand for natural resources and pollutant emissions. Considering the climatic context of Palmas—characterized by high temperatures and prolonged dry seasons—and the social and

economic vulnerability of part of its population, this study explores sustainable and cost- effective housing alternatives. Adobe construction is examined for its thermal and acoustic

properties and its suitability to the region's semi-humid tropical climate, offering improved indoor comfort with reduced energy consumption. The research adopts an interdisciplinary approach, including bibliographic review, analysis of current building regulations, case studies of similar projects, and the selection of an appropriate site for implementation. In addition to its technical and environmental advantages, the use of adobe also supports the cultural identity and architectural character of the local community. The project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of integrating traditional construction methods with contemporary principles of sustainability.
